Term | Definition |
---|---|
The genetic makeup of an individual is its | genotype |
True or False: All alleles are either dominant or codominant | False |
Threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein that are carrying genetic information in the form of genes are | Chromosomes |
Single-gene crosses are also known as | Monohybrid crosses |
Alleles | Versions of genes |
Patterns of Inheritance | Codominance, incomplete dominance, multiple alleles |
Homozygous | Same alleles |
Heterozygous | Different alleles |
Nondisjunction | a pair of homologous chromosomes has failed to separate or segregate at anaphase so that both chromosomes of the pair pass to the same daughter cell |
Cell Division | process that allows one cell to divide into two new daughter cells; info is copied before splitting |
Asexual Reproduction | Single parent; genetically identical offspring |
Sexual Reproduction | Both parents; inherit genetic info from both parents |
Asexual Reproduction Example | Bacteria, plants, animals |
Sexual Reproduction Example | Plants, animals, female, male |
Cell Cycle | Time that the cell grows, prepares for division, and divides to form two daughter cells |
Eukaryotic Cell Cycle Phases | G1, S, G2, M |
G1, S, G2 is during the | interphase |
M Phase is | cell division |
G1: Cell Growth -> what does the "G" stand for and what happens | Gap Most of the growing happens here |
S: DNA Replication -> what does the 'S' stand for & what happens | Synthesis New DNA is synthesized and chromosomes are replicated Cell had double DNA at end |
G2: Preparing for cell division -> what diff about this and what happens | Shortest of the three Organelles and molecules that are needed are made |
M: Cell division -> what does 'M' stand for, what's significant, and what are its two stages | Mitosis Faster than interphase Mitosis and Cytokineses (may overlap) |
Mitosis -> Four phases | Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telephase |
Parts of Mitosis (5/6) | Nuclear envelope, DNA & chromosomes, Spindle Forming, Centrioles, Centromeres |
Prophase (3 things happen) | Genetic material condenses, chromosomes become visible, spindles start to form |
Metaphase -> what's significant and what happens | Shortest Centromers line up in center spindle fibers connect to centromere to opposite ends |
Anaphase (2 things happen) | Chromosomes separate and pulled to each end Separates into two groups |
Telophase -> final step (what happens) | Nuclear envelopes are reformed Chromosomes spread out again |
Cytokinesis | Completes cell division Same or close to time of telophase |
Can cell division be turned off? | yes |
Cyclins | Naturally produced protein that starts cell division |
Apoptis | Process of programmed cell death |
