8.1.1 The Eukaryotic cell cycle 1. If a cell is in a state in which it no longer divides then the cell is probably arrested at which stage of the cell cycle? A) G1 2. Interphase of the cell cycle lasts longer than mitosis? A) TRUE - A cell spends about 90% of its life in interphase of the cell cycle‚ while it spends only about 10% of its life in M phase. 3. When does DNA replication occur in the cell cycle? A) Interphase 4. Which statement about the cell cycle is incorrect? C) In G2

13 MITOSIS: REPLICATION OF EUKARYOTIC CELLS ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS 1. a. Mitosis and cytokinesis are often referred to collectively as "cellular division." Why are they more accurately called cellular replication? The result of mitosis is production of two cells (replicates) identical to the parent cell. The genetic material is replicated rather than divided. b. Does the cell cycle have a beginning and an end? The organization of our study of cellular events indicates a beginning and end‚ but the

Gene expression is the ability of a gene to produce a biologically active protein. This process is regulated by the cells of an organism‚ it is very important to the survival of organisms at all levels. This is much more complex in eukaryotes than in prokaryotes. A major difference is the presence in eukaryotes of a nuclear membrane‚ which prevents the simultaneous transcription and translation that occurs in prokaryotes. Initiation of protein transcription is started by RNA polymerase. The activity

Plant Cell Plant cells have many different parts that are need to work together and function as a whole. These parts are the cell membrane which can be compared to a "Condom" due to the fact that is a very thin protective layer that lets certain substances to pass through. Cell wall is a thicker rougher membrane‚ which gives the plant most of its structure and support‚ the cell wall also bond with other cell walls to form the structure of the plant. Centrosome may be also referred to as the

The cell wall is the tough‚ flexible but sometimes fairly rigid layer that surrounds some types of cells. It is located outside the cell membrane and provides these cells with structural support and protection. Just as the wall of the factory is for the factory. The wall also is the structure and strength. The cell membrane that separates the interior of all cells from the outside The cell membrane is selectively permeable to ions and organic molecules and controls the movement of substances

Cell structure and function Cell structures come in various shapes and sizes dependent on their location within an organism and what life sustaining process it carries out. These can range from the globular protein of a red blood cell‚ designed to carry four oxygen molecules at a time to the tail like flagellum of a bacteria designed for mobility and penetration of organs within a body. There are tow major types of cells‚ prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells. An organelle is defined as an

Eukaryotic Cell Division Cells must continually grow and divide in order for an organism to grow‚ maintain its structure‚ and reproduce. Cell division involves the replication‚ or copying‚ of the complete set of hereditary information. It also involves the equal distribution of the genetic material in the resulting cells. The hereditary information of organisms is contained in large molecules called deoxyribonucleic acid‚ DNA. Objectives Upon completion of this laboratory

CHAPTER 36 PLANT CELLS The first barrier to form between daughter cells is the middle lamella. Daughter cells expand to their final size and make polysaccharides for a primary wall. After expansion stops waterproofing materials are added for a secondary wall. Water and dissolved materials move from cell to cell by way of pit pairs. A pit is a thin spot in the primary wall where the secondary wall is absent or separated from the primary wall by a space. Strands of cytoplasm called

Bio Lab W 8 Cell Structure and Function Prokaryotic cells do not contain a nucleus. Eukaryotic cells do contain a nucleus. Organisms are eukaryotic except Bacteria and Achaea. Organelles are small membranous bodies‚ each with a specific structure and function. Prokaryotes do have cytoplasm‚ which is the material bounded by a plasma membrane and cell wall. This contains ribosomes‚ small granules that coordinate the synthesis of proteins. Prokaryotes also have a nucleoid which is the inner interior
