Question
Chapter 17, Problem 2DA
Summary Introduction
To determine: The number of spots that would be observed when human cells in the G2 phase of the cell cycle are subjected to the FISH analysis using the probe recognizing telomeric DNA.
Introduction: Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) is used to identify gross chromosomal rearrangements. It is a molecular cytogenic technique in which fluorescent probes are used to detect DNA sequences.

Students have asked these similar questions
Below is an image of human cheek cells (animal cells).
1. Can you see the nuclei of human cheek cells? If you can
see the nuclei, then label a nucleus of one human cheek
cell.
2. Were the human cheek cells stained? How do you know?
You view a mature, living plant cell such as an epidermal cell under the light microscope. You view the cell at sufficiently-high magnification and you have also stained the cell for chromatin. The cell has a nucleus, yet you cannot see chromosomes, at least in their typical ’sausage-formed’ shape as we all know them from textbooks. Why is that?
The image below is an Allium root tip under the microscope. Which statement describes what we are seeing?
-dozens of cells in different parts of the cell cycle, mostly interphase
-dozens of cells in different parts of the cell cycle, mostly telophase
-dozens of cells in meiosis
-one cell with many many nuclei dividing

This process breaks the cell membrane, spins the solution to remove the large particles through high g-force, adds alcohol to make the DNA less soluble aqueous solution, then spins the solution again to pull the DNA out of solution. Consider a cell in metaphase compared to a cell in rest (not in the cell cycle leading to cell division). What properties of a metaphase cell might let you extract more DNA compared to the resting cell? Are there any that might make the extraction more difficult?arrow_forwardANAPHASE OF PLANT CELL describe the appearance of DNA, spindle fibers and location of the chromosomes please describe the appearance and location, do not state the process do not copy from google pleasearrow_forward
- How long does it take for a cell to take one complete cycle? The answer varies on the type of cell and the species. For instance, a liver cell completes its cell cycle for over 22 hours (Becker and Lane 1965) while other somatic cell lasts to about 18 hours. Can you cite other types of cells that undergo cell cycle and the time it takes to complete the cycle? List five below.arrow_forwardWhich of the following would be clues that a cell is in prophase? Select all correct characteristics of prophase. Group of answer choices: 1. the cell does not have any visible, condensed chromosomes yet 2. the cell plate is forming 3. the chromosomes are being pulled to opposite sides of the cell 4. the chromosomes are lined up in the center of the cell 5. the cell has a cell wall 6. you can still see the chromosomes collected in a circular space 7. the cleavage furrow is forming 8. the cell contains dark, condensed chromosomesarrow_forwardStudy of mitosis in onion root tip cell and animal cell from permanent slides?arrow_forward

Why not? 2. Would you expect Lugol's Solution to stain onion cells? Why or why not? Finally, look at cheek cells. Can you find the nucleus? 3.

Think about differences between animal and plant cells (Figure 4.4 and text on page 59 of your textbook).arrow_forwardA student examines a thin section of an onion-root tip and records the number of cells that are in each stage of the cell cycle. She observes 94 cells in interphase, 14 cells in prophase, 3 cells in prometaphase, 3 cells in metaphase, 5 cells in anaphase, and 1 cell in telophase. If the complete cell cycle in an onion-root tip requires 22 hours, what is the average duration of each stage in the cycle? Assume that all cells are in the active cell cycle (not G0).arrow_forward
