Bio 111 Final Exam

all the remaining vocab that is on the final exam

QuestionAnswer
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

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:
