Document Summary

Genetic instructions are coded in the dna of cells. The entire mechanism of prokaryotic cell division is called binary fission and can be broken down into three periods. C period- chromosomes are replicated and move to separate ends of the cell. D period- membrane pinches together between them and two daughter cells form. Eukaryotic chromosomes contain a much greater length of dna than prokaryotic cells. After interphase the cell begins the process of mitosis which can be broken down into 4 stages: Mitotic spindles begin to form between two centrosomes as they start migrating towards opposite ends of the cell to form cell poles. (prometaphase- the nuclear envelope breaks down initiating prometaphase. Spindles are sent from the centrosomes at opposite ends of the cell, some spindle may attach to chromosomes. Metaphase- spindle microtubles move the chromosomes into alignment at the spindle midpoint, also called the metaphase plate.

Part A:

In prokaryotes and eukaryotes cell reproduction is similar in that it requires some kind of signal to proceed, DNA replication, careful separation of the DNA into two equal portions, and division of the cytoplasm. How is cell reproduction different in prokaryotes and eukaryotes?

Select one:

a. In a eukaryotic organism, the signals for cell division are usually not related to the environment but to the function of the entire organism.

b. Eukaryotic cells constantly divide whenever environmental conditions are adequate and the cells are large enough.

c. The linear chromosomes in prokaryotes are constantly being updated.

d. Prokaryotic cell division requires cytokinesis before mitosis because of their small size.

e. The sexual phase of most prokaryotes (bacteria) is essential to the rapid cell division required for infection.

What does the name Cyclin Dependent Kinase stand for?

Select one:
