What happens in musicle contractions - (make sure to look at that ) I will explain it here but visually look

a)

action potential from a motor neuron releases acetyl choline and when the acetyl choline is released, it causes depolarization of the sarcoplasmic reticulum which leads to the release of calcium ions (ca^2+). While calcium ions are released, actin is blocked by troponin and tropomyosin, which actin is the binding site for myosin. Calcium ions bind to the troponin and cause the tropomyosin to move, leading to a pathway for myosin to take. Calcium ions also allow for the actin to work. Myosin then forms a pathway with the actin filaments. ATP binds for the actin and the myosin to separate. The actin filaments are then dragged along the myosin. Actin filaments pull the z lines closer together which shortens the sarcomere. The sarcomere getting shorter leads to contraction.

What is prometaphase

a)

the process that separates the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus of a parent cell into two identical daughter cells. Before anaphase begins, the replicated chromosomes, called sister chromatids, are aligned at along the equator of the cell on the equatorial plane.

b)

It is in the early phase that the chromatin material starts organizing and the nuclear envelope breaks down. By organization, we mean the ‘condensation of the dispersed chromatin material into arranged chromosomes’.

c)

once the replicated, paired chromosomes have been separated and pulled to opposite sides, or poles, of the cell. During telophase, a nuclear membrane forms around each set of chromosomes to separate the nuclear DNA from the cytoplasm. The chromosomes begin to uncoil, which makes them diffuse and less compact. Along with telophase, the cell undergoes a process called cytokinesis that divides the cytoplasm of the parental cell into two daughter cells.

d)

the process that separates the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus of a parent cell into two identical daughter cells. the physical barrier that encloses the nucleus, called the nuclear envelope, breaks down. The breakdown of the nuclear envelope frees the sister chromatids from the nucleus, which is necessary for separating the nuclear material into two cells

118.

What is metaphase

a)

the physical barrier that encloses the nucleus, called the nuclear envelope, breaks down. The breakdown of the nuclear envelope frees the sister chromatids from the nucleus, which is necessary for separating the nuclear material into two cells. is the development of a protein formation called a kinetochore around the centromere, the central point joining the sister chromatids. Long protein filaments called kinetochore microtubules extend from poles on either end of the cell and attach to the kinetochores.

b)

begins once the replicated, paired chromosomes have been separated and pulled to opposite sides, or poles, of the cell. During telophase, a nuclear membrane forms around each set of chromosomes to separate the nuclear DNA from the cytoplasm. The chromosomes begin to uncoil, which makes them diffuse and less compact. Along with telophase, the cell undergoes a process called cytokinesis that divides the cytoplasm of the parental cell into two daughter cells.

c)

the cell's chromosomes align themselves in the middle of the cell through a type of cellular "tug of war." The chromosomes, which have been replicated and remain joined at a central point called the centromere, are called sister chromatids., protein formations called kinetochores formed around the centromere. Long protein filaments called kinetochore microtubules extended from poles on either end of the cell and attached to the kinetochores.

d)

the replicated chromosomes, called sister chromatids, are aligned at along the equator of the cell on the equatorial plane. The sister chromatids are pairs of identical copies of DNA joined at a point called the centromere. , each pair of chromosomes is separated into two identical, independent chromosomes. The chromosomes are separated by a structure called the mitotic spindle. The mitotic spindle is made of many long proteins called microtubules, which are attached to a chromosome at one end and to the pole of a cell at the other end.

what is anaphase

a)

the process that separates the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus of a parent cell into two identical daughter cells. Before it begins, the replicated chromosomes, called sister chromatids, are aligned at along the equator of the cell on the equatorial plane. The sister chromatids are pairs of identical copies of DNA joined at a point called the centromere.

During this, each pair of chromosomes is separated into two identical, independent chromosomes. The chromosomes are separated by a structure called the mitotic spindle

b)

process that separates the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus of a parent cell into two identical daughter cells. Telophase begins once the replicated, paired chromosomes have been separated and pulled to opposite sides, or poles, of the cell. During telophase, a nuclear membrane forms around each set of chromosomes to separate the nuclear DNA from the cytoplasm. The chromosomes begin to uncoil, which makes them diffuse and less compact. Along with telophase, the cell undergoes a process called cytokinesis that divides the cytoplasm of the parental cell into two daughter cells.

c)

the process that separates duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus of a parent cell into two identical daughter cells. During metaphase, the cell's chromosomes align themselves in the middle of the cell through a type of cellular "tug of war." The chromosomes, which have been replicated and remain joined at a central point called the centromere, are called sister chromatids. Prior to metaphase, protein formations called kinetochores formed around the centromere. Long protein filaments called kinetochore microtubules extended from poles on either end of the cell and attached to the kinetochores.

d)

cell cycle is a cyclical series of biological events that certain asexual cells go through. In essence, the cell cycle is highlighted by a sequence of events such as the duplication of DNA via DNA replication, in preparation to cell division wherein the parent cell divides and gives rise to two genetically identical daughter cells. The cell cycle is comprised of these fundamental events: (1) resting phase (Gap 0), (2) interphase (Gap 1, S phase, Gap 2), and (3) cell division (i.e. mitotic phase and cytokinesis).

b)

the process that separates the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus of a parent cell into two identical daughter cells. Telophase begins once the replicated, paired chromosomes have been separated and pulled to opposite sides, or poles, of the cell. During telophase, a nuclear membrane forms around each set of chromosomes to separate the nuclear DNA from the cytoplasm. The chromosomes begin to uncoil, which makes them diffuse and less compact. Along with telophase, the cell undergoes a process called cytokinesis that divides the cytoplasm of the parental cell into two daughter cells.

c)

he physical barrier that encloses the nucleus, called the nuclear envelope, breaks down. The breakdown of the nuclear envelope frees the sister chromatids from the nucleus, which is necessary for separating the nuclear material into two cells. Another important event during prometaphase is the development of a protein formation called a kinetochore around the centromere, the central point joining the sister chromatids. Long protein filaments called kinetochore microtubules extend from poles on either end of the cell and attach to the kinetochores. Prometaphase is followed by the third phase of mitosis, known as metaphase.

d)

DNA replication, cellular content multiplication, etc. have already happened, now comes the touchdown point. It is in the that the chromatin material starts organizing and the nuclear envelope breaks down. By organization, we mean the ‘condensation of the dispersed chromatin material into arranged chromosomes’.

What is kenetichores

a)

Kinetochore, a protein complex, is assembled on the centromeric region of chromosomes while centromere is a constricted portion of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) on a chromosome. The kinetochore is the region to which spindle fibers attach for separating the sister chromatids during anaphase.

b)

false

122.

What is a centromere

a)

The centromere appears as a constricted region of a chromosome and plays a key role in helping the cell divide up its DNA during division (mitosis and meiosis). Specifically, it is the region where the cell's spindle fibers attach.

b)

false

What are spindle fiber

a)

false

b)

What is a spindle fiber? Spindle fiber is a network of filaments that are formed during the cell division process. They help in the movement of chromosomes
