Midterm 2 BioScience from quiz 4 and 6
Question | Answer |
---|---|
cells with one set of chromosomes are called | haploid |
The process of forming sex cells is called | gametogenesis |
This process of reducing the number of chromosomes in half is called | Meiosis |
The process of combining two haploid cells into one diploid cell is called | Fertilization |
Fetus is different than an embryo | organs and tissues are in place, fetus is bigger than an embryo, fetus is at 8 weeks or two months of genstational age |
Production of gametes happens in | the gonads |
Goads in males | testes |
Gonads in females | ovum |
failure of chromosomes to seperate during meiosis is called | non-disjunction |
Abnormal Meoisis may lead to | Monosomy, trisomy, abnormal embryo, spontaneous termination of pregnancy |
Monosomy is | underproduction of a chromosome, missing |
Trisomy is | over production of a chromosome, added |
Down Syndrome | is a case of trisomy at chromosome 21, results from abnormal meiosis |
Why is Down's Syndrome more prevelant in woman over 40? | It is an issue of immunity, as we age our immune system may not catch the abnormality in the pregnancy |
The first 1-22 pairs of chromosomes are | Autosomes they are always homlogous |
pair 23 is | Sex Chromosome it is not always homologous xx or xy |
The Y chromosome | only codes for tesosterone |
Diploid zygote is always female at 10 weeks | at which time the Y chromosome may present and the development will be male |
Default development of the zygote is always xx | female |
Zygote | Diploid, contains the set of genes from 2 different people |
G1 phase of cell cycle | Cell differentiates and matures |
G2 phase of the cell cycle | Cell grows more organelles |
M phase of cell cycle | Mitosis cell divides into two daughter cells |
S Phase | Cell synthesizes DNA and replicates its entire library |
Interphase | cell preforms its regular functions includes G1, S and G2 phases |
Phase after M | Gophase |
Centrioles replicate and create opposite poles | Prophase |
Centromeres of chromosomes replicate | Anaphase |
Spindle fibers form | Prophase |
Chromosomes align on the equatorial plane | Metaphase |
Nucleous dissapears | Prophase |
Nuclear membrane re-appears | Telophase |
Spindle fibers disappear | Telophase |
Cells with one set of chromosomes are called | haploid |
cells with two sets of chromosomes are called | diploid |
2 step process of gametogenesis or production of sex cells | diploid cell divides in meiosis into a haploid cell. Differentiation and maturation turn the haploid cell into a mature ovum or sperm (gametes) |
process of segregation | random separation of the chromosomes from each parent |
Normal Meioses I | pairs find each other and align on the equatorial plane, how they align is by chance Metaphase I |
Abnormal Meiosis | when a pair of chromosomes fail to segregate during meiosis I, called non-disjunction |
X-linked genes | this is chromosome #23. females have two xx males have one x |
x-linked genetic disorders | females can still be healthy with one mutant x, they may be a carrier for disease but may not express |
x-linked mutation in males | will always express the mutation as x is autosomal and Y is the determination of the gender ONLY |
when fasting the body prefers to use | glycogen |
it is common to loose how much during the first week of fasting | 10 pounds 2 pounds glycogen 8 pounds water |
the tissues that must have glucose for fuel even during fasting | brain tissue |
how does the body produce glucose for the brain during fasting | from the breakdown of muscle tissue |
ketosis indicates | ketones in blood and urine lack of glycogen, breakdown of muscle and fat |
hormone produced by the fat cells | leptin |
what is the function of leptin | helps regulate weight and increase metabolic rate |
why does metabolic rate decrese during fasting | because the body s loosing muscle mass |
which organs are stressed on an atkins type diet | the liver and kidneys |
atkins is safe for how long | 3 months |
healthy weight loss | 1/2 pounds a week |
when eating high fat food, the brain produces | dopamine |
when eating high carb foods the brain produces | seratonin |
stress, sleep deprivation and caffiene increases this hormone | cortisol |
high levels of this hormone causes weight gain and diabetes | insulin |
BMR is affected by | age gender heigh weight |
bmr is not affected by | activity level |
BMR is measured | fasting, motionless and awake |
balanced diet | 50% carbs, 20% protein 30% fat |
TDEE | Total daily energy expenditure |
TDEE | BMR x activity factor x injury factor |
set point theory | your body wants to stay at its current weight |
what causes a surge in leptin production | surplus of carbs |
what is the effect of a low fat high carb diet | absorption and digestion is very quick |
insulin resistance | type II diabetes |
why we gain weight | evolution and positive response |
what is the effect of stress | shorter life span, storage of fat and change in brain cells |
oxytocin | hormone produced by brain promoted by stress free activities |
what is the number one issue that affects healthy eating | setting unrealistic goals |
1 calorie | unit of energy it takes to heat 1 kg of water by 1 degree celcius |
calorie meter | measures the heat produced by the body while at rest |
metabolic cart | medical tool that is used to measure cardiovascular and respiratory function |
pounds to kg | 1 pound = 2.2 kg |
what happens when you have excess glucose and the cells already have enough ATP | convert excess into glycogen first then FAT |
dietary protein | provides amino acids for the production of new protein and provides energy for ATP |
asexual reproduction | daughter cell generates identical mother cell, involves mitosis |
sexual reproduction | in complex species, combines genes from two organisms, creates a genetically unique organism |
which is the best way to measure someones BMR | by calculations |
ideal body weight | is the healthiest weight based on height and gender |
nutritional breakdown for alcohol | 7 |
nutritional breakdown for carbs/sugar | 4 |
nutritional breakdown for protein | 4 |
nutritional breakdown for fat | 9 |
two stages of gameotogenesis | 1. diploid to haploid 2. differntiation and maturation |
Autosomal are 1-22 | sex chromosomes are xx or xy non homologous |
x chromosome #23 contains other important genes | regardless of gender |
