GEN-3000 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Telophase, Metaphase, Prometaphase
Document Summary
Dna exists as chromatic reacting with proteins and histones. Cytoskeleton: ploidy a term referring to basic chromosome set or to multiples of that set. The number of sets of chromosomes in a cell: chromosome structure. Telomere at the top and bottom, the caps : very essential for chromosome, if you lose this you will most likely lose your chromosome. Centromere how all chromosomes are counted: where 2 sister chromatids connect, needed for cellular division, kinetochore forms around it. Kinetochore wraps around centromere, where the microtubules come out. Spindle fibers are essential movement and the function of the cell and chromosomes. If you stop the spindle fiber from working, it will stop the cell from dividing. They are made up of tubulin subunits and have a certain polarity. You can add or cut off subunits at the molecular motors. Can chew off subunits to make it shorter. Can add subunits to make it longer.
