Cytokinesis in plant cells is different than cytokinesis in animal cells. a) Explain why it has to be different, andb) briefly describe the processes in the two different cell types.
How can we test the functional role of cytoplasm mutants in cytokinesis?
List and describe the three main types of cytoskeleton. If you wanted to do immunocytochemistry to specifically stain each type of cytoskeleton, what is a protein that could be used for each cytoskeletal type (in other words, what is a unique protein for each cytoskeletal type)?
What are three types of actin structures? Describe the involvement of actin structures in cell migration.
How is the growth and shrinking of microtubules regulated? Then describe the roles of microtubules in: chromosomal separation during mitosis and the movement of organelles and vesicles within a cell.
Describe a possible mechanism on how signaling pathways might impact the cytoskeleton, so that cell migration could be regulated in a localized manner within a multicellular organism. (hint: think about the possible transcriptional regulation of the G-protein regulators)
What are 2 main challenges of protein targeting? Then describe one way these challenges are overcome during signal-based targeting and one way…

- What are the respective roles of microtubules and actin filaments in cytokinesis?arrow_forwardHow does cytokinesis in plant cells differ from that in animal cells?arrow_forwardIn normally dividing cells, once chromosomes have been properly segregated via the steps of mitosis, the two resulting “daughter cells” separate. In animal cells (and other cell types without a cell wall) the contractile ring plays a crucial role in the process of cytokinesis. Exactly how the contractile ring is accurately positioned, so as to be located midway between the two poles (ends) of the dividing cell, is still not fully understood, although factors released from the mitotic spindle are thought to play a role.Regardless of the precise positioning mechanism, one key player in the assembly of the contractile ring is the GTP/GDP binding protein Rho. In its active form, Rho can stimulate the activity of the actin-binding protein formin and (via effects on the myosin regulatory light chain) that of myosin II. Given their respective roles, why might activation of formin and myosin II be beneficial as cells assemble a functional contractile ring structure?arrow_forward
- Which is true for cancer cells: 1) Cell death occurs after a determined number of cell divisions 2) Contact with other cells reduces chance of cell division 3) Cell division occurs in the presence of stop signals.arrow_forwardCytokinesis, the process of cytoplasmic division, occurs shortly after the separated sister chromatids have neared the opposite spindle poles. How is the plane of cytokinesis determined?arrow_forwardDescribe and give an example of the following types of stem cells: - totipotent - pluripotentarrow_forward
- Which of the following is true with respect to cyclins and CDKs? A) CDKs promote progression of the cell cycle, cyclins function to inhibit progression of the cell cycle B) CDKs are the checkpoints in the cell cycle, and when bound to cyclins, they stop progression of the cell cycle C) CDKs will only work to promote progression of the cell cycle when complexed with their designated cyclins D) CDKs are rarely expressed during a cell's cycle, unless cyclins are present to act as transcription factors .arrow_forwardIn the diagram, the speed bumps (look like short walls) represent __________. A) The only times at which genes may be actively expressed B) Points in time when the cell divides C) One-hour timepoints D) Checkpoints in the cell cycle .arrow_forwardDescribe how Ras and p53 can alter the simplified genetic pathway controlling cell division shown below. For each of the two genes, would uncontrolled cell division result from a loss-of-function or a gain-of-function mutation? growth factors - receptors - cyclins - cyclin-dependent kinases - cell divisionarrow_forward
- Telophase in Mitosis a ) Chromosomes begin to uncoil into chromatin. b) Nucleolus and nuclear membrane begin to reappear. c) Spindle slowly dissolves. d) In animal cells, cytokinesis occurs with a cleavage furrow dividing one cell into two cells. e) In plant cells, cytokinesis occurs with the formation of a cell plate. This plate divides the original cell into two cells and is part of the new cell wall.arrow_forwardImagine that there are mutations in the CDK genes such that their gene products are nonfunctional. What effect would this mutation have on an immature unspecialized blood cell precursor found in the bone marrow? The cell would not be able to reproduce itself. The cell would complete the cell cycle using cyclins in the absence of CDKS. The cell would be able to replicate its DNA but not translate DNA into RNA. The cell would be able to enter mitosis but not complete it. The cell would still phosphorylate the CDK-associated target proteins, and would do so more quickly.arrow_forwardI breed a red flower to a blue flower. What would I get if the red and blue genes in these flowers were:A) incomplete dominance B) codominance 2. What are the two purposes of the membrane?3. What is the difference between passive and active transport? 4. What kind of stem cells are pluripotent?arrow_forward
