Chapter 12: The Cell Cycle

cycle G1=primary growth, G2=microtubules.
mitosis pro=before meta=after ana=back telo=tail. Metaphysics after Aristotle's Physics. Metabolism, Metamorphic.
mitosis-anaphase Human cell has 92 chromosomes.
mitosis-g2 Centrosome: 2 centrioles in animals; plants no centrioles.
cytokinesisA Microfilaments=actin
cytokinesisP Vesicles contain cell wall and membrane components.

ACT 12&C: non-kinetochore spindles lengthen in anaphase?
two centromeres; kinetochore microtubules?
8eSQ 1=b  2=a  3=1  4=C  5=C? MPF=degradation of cyclin
     6=E=cleavage furrow formation?  actin=  7=a  8=b
  1. Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF) promotes cell division of fibroblasts to heal wounds.
    Fibroblasts have receptor tyrosine kinases; to trigger cell division.
  2. Growth factors are local regulators, not hormone (endocrine glands).
  3. Cytokinesis: cleavage furrow pulled in by cytoskeleton, twisted balloon.
  4. Bacterial DNA not packaged into chromosomes.
  5. Human Hapilloma Viruses: cause warts, genital warts, cervical cancer
