Checkpoint genes encoding protein that stimulate mitosis are called what?

Checkpoint genes encoding proteins that stimulate mitosis are called cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs). These proteins work together to regulate the progression through different phases of the cell cycle, including the transition from G2 phase to mitosis.


Genes are found on these cell structures that become visible when cells divide?

Genes are found on chromosomes, which are thread-like structures composed of DNA and proteins. They become visible when cells divide through a process called mitosis. During mitosis, chromosomes condense and are separated into two identical sets to be distributed to daughter cells.


What do checkpoint genes do?

check to make sure if the cell is correct/right/ready to move on to the next stage.


Why do the function of cell differ mitosis?

the renetic genes are similar


Does mitosis allow genes to move from one chromosome to another?

No, mitosis does not allow genes to move from one chromosome to another. Mitosis is a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and type of chromosomes as the parent cell. Genes are not moved between chromosomes during this process.


Differences between parent and daughter cells in mitosis?

Nothing, they are identical in genes.


What Mendel called factors are today called genes?

GENES


Are the genes in daughter cells produced by mitoses the same as or different from the genes in the original cell?

The genes in daughter cells produced by mitosis are the same as the genes in the original cell. Mitosis is a process of cell division where the genetic material is replicated and evenly distributed between the daughter cells, ensuring that they have an identical genetic makeup to the original cell.


How do eukaryotic cells make more cells?

Cell can make more cells via two processes. The first is called mitosis: a process which creates two identical cells. Both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells can undergo mitosis. The second is meiosis: a process which produces reproductive cells in sexually reproducing eukaryotes. When a cell becomes cancerous, one or more mechanisms in the cell that control mitosis breaks down. This occurs due to a mutation in the cell's DNA. The genes in which a cancer-causing mutation can occur are either called proto-oncogenes or tumour suppressor genes. When such a mutation occurs in a proto-oncogene they become activated and become oncogenes. The product of oncogenes promote uncontrolled mitosis, hence the name onco(cancer)-gene. Again, as the name suggests, tumour suppressor genes have some role in suppressing cancer. Tumour suppressor genes are regulators of mitosis. When a cancer causing mutation occurs in a tumour suppressor gene, the product of the gene becomes disfunctional or are not produced altogether.


What are the genes carries on the x and y chromosomes called?

The genes carried on the X chromosome are called X-linked genes, while the genes carried on the Y chromosome are called Y-linked genes. These genes play a role in determining various traits and characteristics in individuals.
