PSYC12H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 17: Prometaphase, Centrosome, Sister Chromatids
Document Summary
The complex is built around a pair of smc subunits. Forms a ring around supercoiled loops of dna within chromatin. Aids in the compaction process as the cell enters mitosis. Slides along mt and aids in the movement of chromosome during anaphase. Is anchored to kineotochore, thus maintaining contact with the chromosome as the mt is depolymerizing. Which of the following is/are the general function(s) of cyclins - aka cdk complexes. Capture a chromosome at the centromere and move it to a pole. There is a mutation in the gene encoding the dam1 ring, making it useless. Chromosomes do not move to the poles during anaphase. Cell does not divide to 2 cells poles are not seperated. The breakdown of the nuclear membrane must occur. Question 1 - 527: during ____________ , ___________ maintains linkage between sister chromatids. _____________ is involved in formation of supercoiled loops and bringing the supercoiled loops close to one another.
