In prokaryotes, all cells divide if conditions are favourable; in eukaryotes, only a few cells divide, and they do so according to a developmental program b. After cell division, the daughter cells are genetically identical in prokaryotes but genetically different in eukaryotes c. In prokaryotes, only a few cells divide to ensure survival of the colony without depleting too many resources from the environment d. The process of segregation is more complicated in prokaryotes than in eukaryotes e. Reproductive signals for initiation of cell division are intracellular for prokaryotes and extracellular for eukaryotes

Which of the following statements best describes the process of phase separation in cells? Proteins can assemble as liquid droplets that are not bounded by a membrane in either the cytoplasm or nucleus A protein can separate into different organelles dependent on the phase of the cell cycle Proteins that are assembled in one phase of the cell cycle and degraded in the next are said to undergo phase separation Signal sequences can target proteins assembled in the cytoplasm into the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum
If a mad scientist hands you a cell culture with 100 cells that just entered g1. He needs to extract the MOST possible DNA from 100 cells. On top of that, he requires that the DNA cannot be condensed. To accomplish this goal he gives you a set of chemicals that will stop a cell in any part of the cell cycle you want. What part of the cell cycle would you stop the cell at, that matches those requirements?
Biologists have long been interested in the effects of radiation on cells. In one experiment, researchers examined the effect of radium on mitosis of chick embryo cells growing in culture. A population of experimental cells was examined under the microscope for the number of cells in telophase (as a measure of mitosis occurring) before, during, and after exposure to radium. The results are shown in the Figure. What is the effect of radium exposure on mitosis? Source: R. G. Canti and M. Donaldson. 1926. The effect of radium on mitosis in vitro. Proceedings of the Royal Society of London, Series B, Containing Papers of a Biological Character 100:413419.
One important biological effect of a large dose of ionizing radiation (like X-rays) is to halt cell division. How does this occur? To answer this question, state the name and role of 2 specific and important proteins involved in the process. What happens if a cell has a mutation that prevents it from halting cell division after be irradiated? Be specific and detailed. An adult human who has reached maturity will die within a few days of receiving a radiation dose large enough to stop cell division. What does that tell you about cell division? In addition, name 2 different/unique cell types that would be primarily affected.
4) Describe in detail how p53 and MDM2 regulate cell division in a normal, healthy cell. You should describe 1) how these proteins cooperate to allow a cell to go through the cell cycle, 2) how they cooperate to stop the cell cycle, and 3) how they allow the cell cycle to continue again after having stopped it initially. You may use point form if you want.
Cell A is actively engaging in growth and division. The cell encounters a damage in its DNA at a certain point in the cell cycle. What would be the reaction in the cells if the damage was sensed Before the R point is passed After passing the R point What would be the similarities and differences in the reaction in the cell in cases a and b? In your answer, briefly include the significance of the R point during the cell cycle
In multicellular organisms, nondividing cells stay in G0 phase. For the cell, why is it better to be held in G₁ rather than S, G₂ or M phase? A. G₁ cells are larger and more likely to perform the normal functions of the cell. B. G₁ cells have not replicated their DNA in preparation for division. C. G₁ cells are the only ones that do not have their chromatin in a highly condensed state. D. MPF is required to enter S phase, so the cell is committed to entering M phase if the cycle moves beyond G₁. How many does the chromosome number of the species A. Is equal to the diploid chromosome number. B. Refers to the chromosome number of the somatic cell. C. Is a constant number for the organisms of the species generation after generations. D. All of the above. Which statement about the daughter cells following mitosis and cytokinesis is correct? A. They are genetically different from each other and from the parent cell. B. They are genetically identical with each other and with the parent…
Please help Place the images of the cell division in the right order and label them a) What is the final product of this type of cell division? Indicate the number of dauahter cells, the TYPE OF CELLS (somatic cells? sex cells? other?), where in the body this process takes place, whether they are genetically diverse pridentical, haploid or diploid, the chromosome number in human cells, whether they contain sinale- or double-stranded chromosomes, and what the "fate" of these cells is i.e. what will they go on to do, if given the chance)?
Below are three statements - two of which are truths and one is a lie. Which of the following statements is a lie? Select one: a.The role of centrosomes in the plant cell is not clear since it can proceed cell division with or without it. b.The central vacuole's function includes serving as a lysosome in the plant cell. c.Metabolic processes in the prokaryotic cell are all done in its cytoplasm.

When studying living cells in a laboratory, researchers sometimesuse drugs as a way to make cells remain at a particular stage of thecell cycle. For example, aphidicolin is an antibiotic that inhibitsDNA synthesis in eukaryotic cells and causes them to remain inthe G1 phase because they cannot replicate their DNA. In whatphase of the cell cycle—G1, S, G2, prophase, metaphase, anaphase,or telophase—would you expect somatic cells to stay if they weretreated with each of the following types of drug?A. A drug that inhibits microtubule formationB. A drug that allows microtubules to form but prevents them fromshorteningC. A drug that inhibits cytokinesisD. A drug that prevents chromosomal condensation
According to the picture above, the cell shown is going through [Select] and is in the [Select ] stage of cell division.
