The regulation of the cell cycle. Introduction: The cell cycle is classified as the interphase and the mitotic phase. Interphase is the longest period of the cell cycle. In this phase, cell growth, DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) replication and preparation for cell division occur. This stage is further divided in G 1, S and G 2 phase. G 1 phase or the first gap phase is the period between the last cell division and the DNA synthesis for the next cell division. The cell actively grows in this phase. S phase, also known as the synthesis phase, is the phase where the DNA is replicated. G 2 phase or the second gap phase is when the cell prepares for cell division. Further growth occurs in this phase. The mitotic phase is shorter and contains two subphases, namely mitosis, and cytokinesis. During mitosis, the replicated DNA divides equally into two nuclei. In the cytokinesis, the cytoplasm finally divides in order to form two new daughter cells.

Summary Introduction

To review:

The regulation of the cell cycle.

Introduction:

The cell cycle is classified as the interphase and the mitotic phase. Interphase is the longest period of the cell cycle. In this phase, cell growth, DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) replication and preparation for cell division occur. This stage is further divided in G_1, S and G₂ phase. G₁ phase or the first gap phase is the period between the last cell division and the DNA synthesis for the next cell division. The cell actively grows in this phase. S phase, also known as the synthesis phase, is the phase where the DNA is replicated. G₂ phase or the second gap phase is when the cell prepares for cell division. Further growth occurs in this phase.

The mitotic phase is shorter and contains two subphases, namely mitosis, and cytokinesis. During mitosis, the replicated DNA divides equally into two nuclei. In the cytokinesis, the cytoplasm finally divides in order to form two new daughter cells.

You implant an FGF10-coated bead into the anterior flank of a chicken embryo, directly below the level of the wing bud. What is the phenotype of the resulting ectopic limb? Briefly describe the expected expression domains of 1) Shh, 2) Tbx4, and 3) Tbx5 in the resulting ectopic limb bud.

Design a grafting experiment to determine if limb mesoderm determines forelimb / hindlimb identity. Include the experiment, a control, and an interpretation in your answer.

The Snapdragon is a popular garden flower that comes in a variety of colours, including red, yellow, and orange. The genotypes and associated phenotypes for some of these flowers are as follows: aabb: yellow AABB, AABb, AaBb, and AaBB: red AAbb and Aabb: orange aaBB: yellow aaBb: ? Based on this information, what would the phenotype of a Snapdragon with the genotype aaBb be and why? Question 21 options: orange because A is epistatic to B yellow because A is epistatic to B red because B is epistatic to A orange because B is epistatic to A red because A is epistatic to B yellow because B is epistatic to A
