The mnemonic that helps remember the phases of mitosis
What is PMAT?
The point where DNA is replicated
What is S phase?
The combination of cyclin, CDK and a free phosphate at the G2 checkpoint creates this
What is Mitosis Promoting Factor?
Adenine is paired with this DNA complementary base
What is Thymine?
The high activity of enzyme this allows for cells to divide constantly
What is telomerase?
The phase where we make sure that the spindle fibers are attached to the chromosomes properly
What is metaphase?
At the end of the cell cycle we should end up with
What is two daughter cells?
The version of a gene that when mutated never stops "going"
What is oncogene?
The term used to describe how DNA strands are built
What is Anti-parallel?
The movement of cancer from one area of the body to another
What is Metastasis?
The name for DNA that is found in the nucleus before mitosis begins
What is chromatin?
Once we pass this phase, we are committed to cell division
What is G1 phase?
After MPF is done passing the cell through G2 checkpoint, we will most likely see a decrease in
What is Cyclin?
DNA strands are built in this direction
What is 5' to 3'?
If this tumor-suppressing gene is abnormal, it will lead to cancerous cells
What is p53?
The phase that is shown below
What is telophase?
In what phase are chromosomes not visible under a microscope
What is Interphase?
If there are too many cells in the area, the cell will enter
What is G0?
The enzyme that is responsible for starting each complementary strand
The enzyme that we would most likely find at the replication fork
What is helicase?
The mitosis phase that is irreversible
What is Anaphase?
The purpose of the cell cycle for the cell (Give two possible answers)
What is Grow, Reproduce, Repair/Maintain?
The part of the cell cycle that is also known as the 'restriction point'
What is G1 checkpoint?
If I can see Okazaki fragments, I know that I am looking at this
What is the Lagging Strand?
The protein that is needed to send an external signal from the cell membrane to the nucleus
What is growth factor?
