EOC Review pt. 4

QuestionAnswer
What stage does the cell spend most of it's life in? What does the cell do during this time? Prophase, centrioles separate and spindles form.
What is the difference between mitosis and cytokineses? Mitosis is the division of the nucleus and cytokineses is the division of the cytoplasm.
What is cancer? What are some causes of caner? Uncontrolled cell division, if their is a supply of nutrients
How does Mitosis reproduce? Asexually
How does Meiosis reproduce? Sexually
How many chromosomes are produced during Mitosis? 2N= Diploid
How many chromosomes are produced during Meiosis? 1N= Haploid
How many cell divisions are in Mitosis? One
How many cell divisions are in Meiosis? Two
How many cells are produced during Mitosis? 2
How many cells are produced during Meiosis? 4
What type of cells are produced during Mitosis? Identical
What type of cells are produced during Meiosis? Unique
What are the 4 sources of variation during sexual reproduction? Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
What is Prophase? Longest phase, chromatin condenses into chromosomes, centrioles separate and spindles form.
What is Metaphase? Chromosomes line up across the center of the cell.
What is Anaphase? Sister chromatids seperate into individual chromosomes.
What is Telophase? Chromosomes gather at opposite ends of the cell and lose their shape.
How many chromosomes do humans have in somatic cells? What about sex cells? 46, 23
What does Diploid mean? Two copies of each chromosome
What does Haploid mean? One copy of each chromosome
When does crossing over occur during meiosis? Prophase 1 and Metaphase 1
What is the major focus of meiosis 1? During Meiosis 1 produces 2 diploid cells.
What is the major focus of meiosis 2? During Meiosis 2 produces 4 haploid cells.
What does it mean when a trait is dominant? The trait is shown over the recessive.
What does it mean when a trait is recessive? The trait is not shows or expressed.
What does it mean if a trait is co-dominant? When both alleles are expressed equally.
What does it mean if a trait is Incomplete dominance? Two different alleles form a gene that doesn't follow dominance.
What are polygenic traits? Traits that are Shape,Height, and Weight
What are the sex chromosomes in males? What about Females? XY,XX
What are the black pentagons stand for on the strand of DNA? Deoxyribose
What weak bonds hold the complementary bases together? Phosphates
What is a codon? The code for an amino acid by using three nitrogen bases on mRNA.
What kind of bond holds the amino acids together in proteins? Peptide Bonds
What are three types of RNA? Messenger, Transfer, Ribosomal
What is Messenger RNA? A single stranded copy of a gene that codes for a protein
What is Transfer RNA? Transports amino acids to the ribosome.
What is Ribosomal RNA? Ribosomes and Proteins are made.
What is transcription? Transfer of information from DNA to RNA.
What is translation? Process of changing the genetic code into proteins.
What happens to DNA when a mutation occurs? It changes the nucleotide sequence of DNA.
What is a vestigial structure? Structures with no or little function in organisims
What are adaptations? Ability of a population to change, provides improved functions.
What does it mean to be "fit" in an environment? Be able to survive in your enviroment
