Chapter 10 & 13 Test Review

1. The sequence of growth and division of a cell is called the _______________.

Cell Cycle2. The two phases of the cell cycle are:

Interphase (G1, S, G2) and Cell division (mitosis and cytokinesis

3. The longest phase of the cell cycle is ____________. Interphase

4. Name the three phases of interphase and describe what happens in each.

G1 – Gap 1 – cell is rapidly growingS – Synthesis – a copy of each chromosome is madeG2 – Gap 2 – growing/prep for mitosis

5. What is created during the S phase (describe the structure)?

Sister chromatids – copies of a chromosome held together by a centromere

6. The process by which nuclear material is divided equally between two new cells is ________.

Mitosis7. Name the four phases of mitosis and draw what

each might look like.Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase

8. Which phase of mitosis is the longest? prophase

9. List two things that happen during prophase in both plant and animal cells.

Nuclear envelope disappears, chromatin coils up to become visible chromosomes, spindle fibers start to form

10.List something that happens during prophase only in animal cells.Centrioles move to opposite poles of the cell

11.Where does the spindle attach to the sister chromatids? What is the other purpose of this structure?Centromere; holds the sister chromatids together

12.How are the sister chromatids arranged during metaphase?Lined up at the equator or middle of the cell (one sister chromatid pointed at each pole)

13.What happens to the sister chromatids during anaphase?Centromere splits and eachr chromatid heads to an opposite pole

14.What happens in telophase?Spindle breaks down, nuclear envelope reappears, chromosomes uncoil

15.Describe cytokinesis in a plant cell and in an animal cell.–Animal – a cleavage furrow forms between the two new cells and it pinches together to split the two cells apart

–Plant – a cell plate forms between the two new cells that is eventually replaced by the cell wall

16.How do the two daughter cells compare to the original cell?

They are identical 17.What controls when a cell starts the process of

division (what are the types of signals)?Chemical control system – Internal signals – cell senses the presence

of enzymes produced within the cell– External signals – cell senses the presence

of chemicals (such as growth factors) produced by other specialized cells

Physical signals– When cells are packed in too closely,

division is turned off– When cells are not in contact with other

cells, division is turned on

18.What happens when mitosis occurs out of control? cancerHow might the out-of-control growth of some cells affect the normal cells around them? Healthy cells around the cancer cells could be deprived of nutrients and/or space Why does this over-growth not happen more often? DNA’s repair system usually finds and corrects the errors

19. What is the primary function of DNA?Holds the information needed to make proteins (genetic information)

20. Put the following terms in order from smallest to largest: chromosome, DNA, and gene.DNA, gene, chromosome

21. List the three parts that make up a DNA nucleotide.Deoxyribose, phosphate group, nitrogen base (adenine, guanine, thymine, or cytosine)

22.What is the process of making an exact copy of DNA called?

Replication23.Where is DNA found?

The nucleus of the cell 24.Where are proteins made?

Ribosomes 25.How does the code from DNA get to the site of

protein production?Transcription – a copy is made of a segment of DNA

by RNA, a strand of mRNA brings this copy out of the nucleus and to the ribosomes to be read

26.List the three parts that make up a RNA nucleotide.

Ribose, phosphate group, nitrogen base (adenine, guanine, cytosine, or uracil)

27.How are the nitrogen bases different in DNA and RNA?

– DNA - adenine, guanine, thymine, or cytosine– RNA - adenine, cytosine, guanine, and uracil

28.The process copying a segment of DNA using RNA to carry the message out of the nucleus is called ________________.

Transcription 29.What is a codon?

A set of three nucleotides on mRNA that code for a certain amino acid

30.The process of reading the mRNA code to make an amino acid sequence is called _________________.

Translation 31.What is the job of tRNA?

Brings a specific amino acid to the ribosome during translation

32.What is an anticodon?The set of three nucleotides on tRNA that

compliment (bond to) the codon on the mRNA 33.When does translation stop?

When a stop codon is reached 34.What type of bonds hold amino acids together?

Peptide bonds

35.What is a mutation? An error in the DNA or mRNA

sequence 36.What is the difference between a point mutation

and a frameshift mutation?– Point – one nucleotide is

replaced with an incorrect one – Frameshift – one nucleotide is

completely omitted causing the codon sets to be shifted and read incorrectly

Which cells are cancerous?

• A- growing without checkpoints, no controls

What are happening to cells B & C, since A are

cancerous cells?• They are being deprived of nutrients, and start dying off

Name the stage of mitosis: hint:

chromosomes become visible, spindle forms

What happens after prophase?

• Metaphase: chromosomes line up in the middle

Then what happens?• Anaphase: chromatids move to

opposite poles

• Telophase: two new nuclei have formed

This shows us translation, that results

in the creation of a protein• Where do the amino acid chains

form?

This shows us translation, that results

in the creation of a protein• Where does this take place in the

cell?• Ribosomes

This shows us translation, that results

in the creation of a protein• Where are the RNA molecules in

this picture?

mRNA

tRNA
