10 points 1. Explain the difference between chromatin, chromosome, nucleosome and histones.
Chromatin- is the combination of DNA, histone, and other proteins that make up chromosomes. Chromosome- is minimally very long continuous piece of DNA which contains many genes regulatory elements and other intervening nucleotide sequences. Nucleosome- is considered to be one of the most stable particles in the DNA that helps in the compacting and transcripting the DNA information. Histones- type of basic protein that forms the unit around which DNA is coiled in the nucleosomes of eukaryotic chromosomes. They are all made up of different type of proteins but work together to functions.
2. Describe what is going on in the 5 stages of mitosis. What is a spindle anyway?
The Anaphase stage of is happening, A spindle is a microtubule structure that brings about chromosomal movement during nuclear division.
3. Compare Meiosis I to Meiosis II. Do they end up with the same exact results? Why or why not? Both Meiosis I and Meiosis II have four steps, but in Meiosis II it is a repeat of everything but instead of chromosomes sister chromatids are formed. No they do not end up with the same exact results, because during Meiosis II is the duplication stage basically. 4. What do the terms synapsis and crossing over mean? How does this affect genetic? The exchange of genetic material between homologous and yes it happens in chromosomes that occur during meiosis and contribute to genetic variability. 5. How important is independent assortment? What are the consequences of Nondisjunction? Independent assortment is the random assortment of chromosomes during the production of gametes, the results are genetically unique individual gametes, it’s also important for survival. The consequences result in a gamete or egg cells too have too few or too many chromosomes. This can lead to different

    Mitosis is easily observed in cells that are growing at a rapid pace such as whitefish blastula or onion root tips, which was used in this lab experiment. The root tips contain and area called the apical meristem that has the highest percentage of cells undergoing mitosis. The whitefish blastula is formed directly after the egg is fertilized. This is a period of rapid growth and numerous cellular divisions where mitosis can be observed. In mitosis the cell is in interphase, and have a distinct nucleus and nucleoli where the thin threads of chromatin thicken into distinct chromosomes and the nuclear evvelope breaks open releasing them into the cytoplasm. The firs signs of the spindle begin to appear, next the cell begins metaphase, where the spindle attaches to the Centromere of each chromosome and moves them to the same level in the middle of the cell. This level position is called the metaphase plate. Anaphase begins when the chromatids are separated and pulled to opposite poles, then the final stage is telophase. The nuclear envelope is reformed and the chromosomes gradually uncoil. Cytokinesis may occur, in which, a cleavage furrow will form and the two daughter cells will separate. Meiosis is more complex and involves two nuclear divisions. The…

    There is two stages in M-phase; the first stage is called mitosis. Mitosis is the nuclear division of the cell, separating the two copies of the genome and forming daughter nuclei. There are four stages in mitosis: prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. Multiple changes occur in prophase including the coiling of the chromatin into chromosomes, the disappearance of the nuclear envelope and nucleoli, the migration of the centrosomes toward opposite poles and the construction of spindle apparatus, which are composed of protein fibers called microtubules. The next stage is called metaphase, where the chromosomes line up at the middle of the cell because the microtubules push and pull them there. The third stage, anaphase, consists of sister chromatids separating and being pulled toward opposite poles. The last phase of mitosis is telophase, which is when the chromosomes uncoil resulting in chromatin. During telophase two new nuclear enveloped appear and spindle apparatus breaks down (Mrs. Weiland, 11/19/15).…
