Words to know

QuestionAnswer
histotypic aggregation ?
Cadherins They play important roles in cell adhesion, ensuring that cells within tissues are bound together. They are dependent on calcium (Ca2+) ions to function, hence their name.
Inner Cell Mass In early embryogenesis of most eutherian mammals, the inner cell mass is the mass of cells inside the primordial embryo that will eventually give rise to the definitive structures of the fetus. Froms in the earliest stages of developement
homologous Homologous chromosomes are chromosomes with the same genes and similar sequences. Homology is important in reproduction because pairs of homologous chromosomes line up together during meiosis.
fertilization The fusion of genetic material from the two gametes- sperm and egg, which stimulates the egg to develop
cleavage is a series of extremely rapid mitotic divisions that immediately follows fertilization
Vegetal pole the yolk rich pole of the egg
animal pole the area where the yolk concentration is particularly low
base ?
The process of meiosis focuses on: chromosome replication that has a net result is four cells each with a haploid nucleus
The process of mitosis focuses: is the process by which a eukaryotic cell separates the chromosomes in its cell nucleus into two identical sets in two nuclei. (Cloning)
Teratogen "monster-formers"; the study of how environmental agents disrupt normal development is called teratology.
Autoradiography The cells seen to be radioactive will be descendants of the cells of the graft, and can be distinguished using fixed microscope slides containing the sectioned tissues that are dipped in photographic emulsion
Genotype genetic makeup
Phenotype the physical expression of genes
Nucleic acid is a macromolecule composed of chains of monomeric nucleotides. In biochemistry these molecules carry genetic information or form structures within cells.
histotypic aggregation The reconstruction of complex tissues from individual cells
transgene animals containing a gene from another individual
blastomere During cleavage, the enormous volume of zygote cytoplasm is divided into these numerous smaller cells, at the end of cleavage, the blastomeres have usually formed a sphere known as a blastula.
morphogen evelopmental biology a morphogen is rigorously used to mean a signaling molecule that acts directly on cells (not through serial induction) to produce specific cellular responses dependent on morphogen concentration.

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.
