Cell Division Homework #1 Introduction to Cell Division Directions: Compare and contrast the following pairs of terms:

Answer:

Sister chromatids / centromeres: When a single chromosome has been replicated in copies, each copy is called a sister chromatids.

A special part of the chromosome called the centromere holds the two sister chromatids together. A centromere is like a built-in rubber band for two sister chromosomes.

Mother cell / daughter cell: identical.

Daughter cells are genetically identical to the mother cell at the stage of production through mitosis.

On the other hand, at the stage of production through meiosis, the daughter cells are genetically different and contain only half of the genetic material of the mother cell.

Interphase / cell division: A cell spends most of its time in what is called interphase, and during this time it grows,

replicates its chromosomes, and prepare for cell division.

The cell then leaves Interphase, undergoes mitosis, and completes its division.

DNA / chromosome: Genes are segments of deoxyirbonucleic acid (DNA) that contain the code for specific protein that functions in one or more types of cell in the body

Chromosomes are structures within cells that contains a person's genes. Genes are contained in chromosomes, which are in the cell nucleus.

Mitosis / cytokinesis: Basically, mitosis is a process by which the duplicated genome in a cell is separated into halves that are identical in nature.

Cytokinesis is the process where the cytoplasm of the cell divides to form two 'daughter' cells. The result is the formation of two 'daughter cells', each having a nucleus.

Can someone explain how it is possible for a single molecule of steroid hormone to create a significant and lasting response in
Mars2501 [29]

Steroid hormone

  • The cell signaling pathways induced by the steroid hormones regulate specific genes within the cell's DNA. The hormones and receptor complex act as transcription regulators by increasing or decreasing the synthesis of mRNA molecules from specific genes.
  • Steroid hormones are not able to target every cell within the body, so the overall response is slower. They bind to receptors on the cell's surface and the receptors aid in helping the steroid hormones enter the cell.
  • Hormones work by binding to protein receptors either inside target cells or on their plasma membranes. The binding of a steroid hormone forms a hormone-receptor complex that affects gene expression in the nucleus of the target cell.
  • Steroids pass into a cell's nucleus, bind to specific receptors and genes and trigger the cell to make proteins.
