11 what has to happen for a cell to enter prophase and set up for metaphase? Give basic explanation of 4 things caused by M-Cdk activation-focus on condensins, lamins and Golgi effect.

Expert Solution

For entry into prophase, the cell needs to condense the chromosomes, each of which consists of two sister chromatids.The sister chromatids are held together at the centromere. At the end of the prophase the nuclear envelope is broken down.

At metaphase stage, spindle fibres( microtubules ) attach to the condensed chromosomes. The spindle fibres bring the chromosomes at the metaphase plate.

Entry into prophase,thus,mitosis involves dramatic changes in multiple cellular components, leading to a major reorganization of cell structure. These events are mediated by acyvation of M-Cdk (Cdk1/Cyclin B). Activation of M-Cdk leads to various events which are given below;

1. Condensation of chromosomes driven by protein complexes called as condensins which are members of SMC proteins. The M-Cdk causes phosphorylation of condensins leading to their activation.

2. Nuclear envelope breakdown due to depolymerization of nuclear lamina. This happens due to phosphorylation of lamin filaments by M-Cdk. M-Cdk also phosphorylates several proteins in the inner nuclear membrane and the nuclear pore complex, leading to their disassembly.

3. Golgi apparatus breakdown into vesicles mediated by phosphorylation of multiple golgi matrix proteins by M-Cdk.

4. Reorganization of cytoskeleton by phosphorylation of microtubule-associated proteins by M-Cdk.

a)You have a galvanic cell set up like a Daniell cell but using a silver electrode in a silver nitrate solution and an iron electrode in an FeSO4 solution. Instead of a semipermeable membrane, you use a salt bridge. What is a salt bridge? Where is cathode and anode? What is the voltage under standard contitions? If the silver nitrate solution is 0.2 mmol/l and the FeSO4 solution is 3 mol/l, what is the voltage you measure? Compare to the...

Use the exact values you enter to make later calculations. The set up in the diagram below relates to a classic inclined plane problem that is typically solved using free body diagrams and Newton's Second Law of Motion. You will work through this inclined plane problem using Conservation of Mechanical Energy instead. You may ignore friction and assume that the system is initially at rest.
