Cell cycle — phases?
G1, S, G2, mitosis, cytokinesis.
Chromosome abnormality — example?
Aneuploidy, translocation, or deletion.
Programmed cell death — process?
Apoptosis involves caspases dismantling the cell.
Cdk's — role?
Regulate cell cycle progression when bound to cyclins.
Chromosome structure — key feature?
Centromere connects sister chromatids.
Nondisjunction — effect?
Causes aneuploidy due to improper chromosome separation.
Apoptosis — inflammation?
No, it is a regulated, non-inflammatory process.
Cyclins — function?
Activate Cdks at specific cell cycle stages.
Crossing over — occurs during?
Meiosis, increasing genetic diversity.
Kinetochores — attach to?
Spindle fibers during cell division.
