Bio 111 Final Exam
all the remaining vocab that is on the final exam
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Phenotype | Visible appearance of an organism |
Genotype | Genetic composition of an organism |
True breeding | Homozygous (two of the same alleles) |
Monohybrid Crosses | Studied inheritance of one trait |
Diploid | Has two copies/alleles of each gene |
Law of Segregation | During meiosis, alleles segregate so that each gamete has one allele for each gene |
Allele | One of two or more forms of a gene (example: Pp), occur at same locus on a gene |
Locus | Location of a gene on homologous chromosomes |
Homozygous | Two of same allele |
Heterozygous | Two different alleles |
Homozygous Dominant | PP |
Homozygous Recessive | pp |
Heterozygous | Pp |
Multiplicative Law of Probability | Chance of two independent events occuring together is the product of the chance of them occuring separately |
Additive Law of Probability | Chance of an event that can occur in two or more different ways is the sum of the individual chances |
Testcross | cross an organism with the dominant phenotype with an organism with the recessive phenotype. |
Dihybrid Cross | Inheritance of two traits is studied |
Two-Trait testcross | Used to determine whether an individual is heterozygous or homozygous dominant for either of two traits |
Amniocentesis | Remove amniotic fluid which has DNA, the DNA is examined and used to detect chromosomal abnormalities |
Chorionic Villi Sampling | Removes cells of the chorionic villi |
Karyotype | Chromosomes photographed and arranged |
Nondisjunction | Homologous chromosomes don’t separate in Meiosis I or sister chromatids don’t separate during Meiosis II |
Trisomy | Three copies of one chromosome |
Downs Syndrome | Trisomy 21, mental retardation, wide flat face, slanted eyelids |
Gart Gene | Causes increased purines in the blood, causes mental retardation |
Triploid | 3 copies of every chromosome |
Turner Syndrome | Only one X Chromosome |
Klinefelter | 2 or more X Chromosomes |
Jacob Syndrome | XYY, taller, lots of acne, lower intelligence level |
Huntington’s Disease | Dominant autosomal disease, severe neurological problems, eventually death |
Cystic fibrosis | Thick mucus in lungs and digestive tract |
Tay Sachs | Develop neurological problems, seizures, death by age 5 |
Phenylketunuria (PKU) | Can’t metabolize Phenylalanine, leads to mental retardation if not detected early and put on special diet |
Balanced Polymorphism | Heterozygotes may be protected from a totally different disease |
Viruses | Not living, don’t replicate or carry out metabolism by themselves, must be taken up by a living cell to replicate, smaller than bacteria, can infect many different species, have a capsid and use nucleic acid as the genetic material (DNA or RNA) |
Bacteriaphage | Viruses that infect bacteria |
Capsid | Protein coat |
Viral envelope | membrane surrounding capsid, membrane from host cell with spikes of viral protein |
Lambda Phage | Infects E.coli bacteria, dsDNA, complex capsid, no membrane |
HIV | Infects human helper T cells, ssRNA retrovirus, capsid + envelope |
Integrase | Viral enzyme that cuts open cell’s chromosome and pastes the viral DNA inside |
Prophage | When phage DNA is inserted into bacterial DNA |
Lysogenic Cycle | Virus remains latent |
Lytic Cycle | Bacteriaphage are released by lysing bacterial cells |
Lysozyme | Digests cell wall, bacteria bursts, phage released to infect other cells |
Retrovirus | Utilizes an enzyme to reverse genetic transcription, has a template for DNA |
Mitosis | Makes two identical cells (same DNA, Identical to the parent cell), diploid and haploid cells undergo mitosis |
Centrosomes | Become pole of spindle |
Cytokinesis | Division of cytoplasm, means cell division is complete |
Interphase | Includes G1, S, and G2 Phase, DNA is in chromatin form, Centrosomes replicated (centrosomes become poles of spindle) |
Prophase | Nuclear membrane breaks down, Chromatin is condensed into chromosomes, spindle forms |
Metaphase | Chromosomes attach to the spindle, and line up in the middle of the cell |
Anaphase | Chromosomes split apart, chromosomes go to opposite ends of the poles, cell elongates, cytokinesis begins |
Telophase | Chromosomes go back into chromatin, nuclear membrane reforms, spindle disappears |
Meiosis | Reduction division, daughter cell have half the number of chromosomes as parent cells and DNA is different, happens in M Phase, only in sperm and eggs (reproductive cells that make gametes), 4 haploid cells made |
Crossing Over | Happens in Prophase, nonsister chromatids exchange part of DNA; DNA breaks and rejoins, common, farther apart two genes are, the more crossovers likely |
Chiasma | Site of crossover |
Diploid | Has two of each chromosome (one from each parent); In G1 has 1 chromatid, S Phase DNA is replicated, and G2 has 2 chromatids |
Chromatid | One molecule of DNA |
Meiosis I | Homologous chromosoms separate |
Meiosis II | Sister chromatids separate |
Interphase | DNA in chromatin form, nuclear membrane surrounding DNA, centrosomes have replicated |
Prophase I | Nuclear Membrane breaks down, Chromatin is condensed into chromosomes, spindle forms, homologous chromosomes pair up, crossing over may occur between nonsister chromosomes on homologous chromosomes |
Metaphase I | Homologous chromosome pairs attach to spindle, homologous chromosome pairs line up in middle of the cell |
Anaphase I | Homologous chromosome pairs separate, each chromosome goes to opposite pole , cell elongates, cytokinesis begins |
Telophase I | Nucleus reforms, chromosomes go into chromatin, spindle disappears |
Prophase II | Nuclear Membrane breaks down, Chromatin is condensed into chromosomes, spindle forms |
Metaphase II | Chromosomes attach to the spindle, and line up in the middle of the cell |
Anaphase II | Chromosomes split apart, chromosomes go to opposite ends of the poles, cell elongates, cytokinesis begins |
Telophase II | Chromosomes go back into chromatin, nuclear membrane reforms, spindle disappears |
