Coil tightly around associated proteins The Cell Cycle The Phases of the Cell Cycle: •Interphase •Prophase •Metaphase •Anaphase •Telophase •Cytokinesis Interphase – The Cell spends the majority of its life here, growing and functioning. During the S Phase of the Cell Cycle, the DNA replicates, in anticipation of Mitosis (division) In Early Prophase of Mitosis the Chromosomes get small, centrioles move to the poles of the nucleus, and spindle fibers develop Pair of Centrioles Chromosomes consisting of 2 Sister Chromatids Spindle Fibers Late Prophase happens when the Nuclear Envelope disintegrates and spindle fibers begin to move Chromosomes toward the center of cell. Spindle Fibers Chromosomes During Metaphase the Chromosomes line up across center of the cell, also called the equator, or Metaphase plate. Spindle Fibers Equator, or Metaphase Plate Chromosomes In Anaphase the Chromatids that make up each Chromosome move apart and travel to opposite ends of cellular spindle Daughter Chromosomes Chromatid Chromosome In Telophase an envelope surrounds each set of Chromatids to form new Nucleus and the Cytoplasm starts to divide Cleavage Furrow Cytokinesis takes place when the Cytoplasm divides and two cells with identical genetic material are formed Daughter Cells Question #10 Which of the following phases takes up most of the cell cycle?

Translation Protein Synthesis DNA RNA Proteins Proteins are made of long chains of amino acids. DNA must stay in the nucleus…to make proteins, the cell uses RNA. mRNA Function-transmits information from DNA to use during protein synthesis. CODON-3-base sequence of mRNA that codes for a specific amino acid. START CODON-tells the ribosome to begin using the mRNA as a template to bring and assemble a chain of amino acids (begin translation). STOP CODON-tells the ribosome to stop using the mRNA as a template. No more amino acids are brought and assembled Stops translation, ends assembly of the protein Codon Chart tRNA Function-transfers amino acids into the growing polypeptide chain in the correct sequence ANTICODON-3-base sequence that complements (fits into) an mRNA codon. 2 Parts of Protein Synthesis: TRANSCRIPTION-mRNA is produced from DNA in the nucleus. TRANSLATION-the process of reading the mRNA and using it to assemble the amino acid chain. Takes place in ribosome. Question #17 Which mRNA sequence complements the above section of DNA? A.

Differentiation Bacterial infection Contamination Mutation Genetics Mendel’s Postulates PRINCIPLE (LAW) OF DOMINANT AND RECESSIVE One factor in a pair may mask, or cover up, the other factor DOMINANT (allele)-can mask or dominate the other factor and is displayed most often. RECESSIVE (allele)-the factor that can be covered up; is displayed less often. GENE- a segment of DNA that codes for a specific characteristic (protein). Ex: Gene that codes for plant height ALLELE-the different forms of a gene (Mendel’s “factor”) Ex: Different versions of plant height gene: tall or short PRINCIPLE (LAW) OF SEGREGATION The two alleles for a gene are split up (or segregated) during meiosis (the formation of eggs or sperm). PRINCIPLE (LAW) OF INDEPENDENT ASSORTMENT The alleles for different traits are distributed into gametes independently (randomly). Genetics Terms to Know: TRAIT- specific hereditary options available for each characteristic. Ex: tall height/short height, brown hair/blonde hair, brown eyes/blue eyes GENOTYPE-the genetic makeup of an organism; the combination of alleles an organism inherits PHENOTYPE-the trait displayed based on the genotype HOMOZYGOUS- organism has 2 of the same alleles for a trait. Homozygous Dominant-has 2 dominant alleles; dominant trait is displayed Homozygous Recessive-has 2 recessive alleles; recessive trait is displayed HETEROZYGOUS-organism has 1 dominant and 1 recessive allele; the dominant trait is displayed.
