Lecture 3

QuestionAnswer
Ploidy Diploid or Haploid
Homologues When two chromosomes pair up and are nearly identical to one another
What are the steps of interphase? G1: The first gap S: The synthesis of DNA G2: The Second gap
What is G0 phase? When cells go from G1 to G0, the cells that never divide or postpone dividing.
What are the steps to Mitosis? Prophase, Prometaphase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase,
What influences simple organisms to create more cells? Environment
What influences complex organisms to create more cells? 1: Signaling molecules 2: Growth factors
What are sister chromatids? 2 identical chromosome copies with associated proteins
How does the cell prepare for division? 1: Chromosomes replicate to for sister chromatids 2: Chromosomes tightly associated at centromere 2: Centromeres used as attachment sites for kinetochores
What is the interphase? When the chromosomes are de-condensed and found in the nucleus
What is the prophase? 1: The nuclear membrane dissociates into small vesicles 2: Chromatids condense 3: Spindle starts to form
What is the prometaphase? 1: Mitotic spindle formed 2: Centrosomes move apart, form poles 3: Spindle fibers interact with chromatids 4: Kinetochore microtubules attach
What is the metaphase? 1: Sister chromatids lined up along metaphase plate
What is the anaphase? 1: Sister chromatids split 2: Kinetochore microtubules shorten 3: Some microtubules push against each other and poles distance from one another
What is the telophase? 1: Chromosomes de-condense 2: Nuclear membranes re-form
What is cytokinesis? 1: Two nuclei are segregated into two daughter cells -In animals Cell constricts like drawstring called the cleavage furrow. - In plants cell plate forms
How does sexual reproduction and Meiosis increase genetic variability? 1: Zygote gets one homologous chromosome from each parent 2: Parental chromosomes randomly sorted and added to child 3: Crossing over of chromosomes
What are the two key differences between Meiosis and Mitosis? 1: Homologous pairs form a bivalent 2: Crossing over occurs
What is a bivalent? Where homologous pairs of sister chromosomes associate with each other (four chromosomes laying side by side)
What is a synapses? The process of forming bivalent's
What is a synaptonemal complex? Connects homologous chromosomes during synapses and crossing over
What is the Chiasma? When arms of the chromosomes tend to separate but remain adhered to the cross over site
What are the steps of Meiosis? Prophase I, Prometaphae I, Metaphase I, Anaphase I, Telophase I, cytokenisis, Prophase II, Prometaphase II, Metaphase II, Anaphase II, Telophase II, Cytokenisis
What is the difference between anaphase I and II? Sister chromosomes are separated in anaphase II not anaphase I
Who came up with the Chromosomal theory of Inheritance? Walter Sutton and Theodor Boveri
What is the Chromosomal theory of Inheritance? (1-3) 1: Chromosomes contain the genetic material 2: Chromosomes are replicated and passed from parent to offspring 3: The nucleus of a diploid cell contains two sets of chromosomes
What is the Chromosomal theory of Inheritance? (4-5) 4: While haploid cells are forming, members of different chromosome pairs segregate independently 5: Gametes are haploids that combine to form a diploid during fertilization

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
