Question
Answer
Why is sexual reproduction advantageous   Gives a variation, heritable traits, unique combination of genes, production of offspring that are alike  
🗑
What is the purpose of cell division   Cells divide to duplicate selves, repair of tissue damage, growth of organs, division of zygote  
🗑
How many genes does a prokaryote have   Approximately 3,000  
🗑
How is DNA arranged in Prokaryotic cells   Circular  
🗑
What are sister chromatids   Two identical copies of DNA molecules held together by cohesions  
🗑
What is Haploid and # of chromosomes   A cell that contains one complete set of chromosomes. 1 set of 23 chromosomes.  
🗑
What is diploid and # of chromosomes   A cell that consisting of two sets of chromosomes: usually, one set from the mother and another set from the father. In a diploid state the haploid number is doubled, thus, 46 chromosomes  
🗑
What are the stages of Mitosis   Interphase Prophase Prometaphase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase  
🗑
What is Interphase and what does it look like   Chromosomes condense and begin to duplicate, and nucleoli is making proteins. Intermission, where everything is gathered together.  
🗑
What is Prophase and what does it look like   Chromatin fibers continue to condense for duplication. Nucleoli disappears. Mitotic spindle begins to form (Microtubules grow out of centrosomes and begin to move away from each other) (The chromatin looks darker)  
🗑
What is Prometaphase and what does it look like   Nuclear envelope disappears. Spindle well formed: Microtubules elongate to reach sister chromosomes.kinetochore (spindle may attach to)  
🗑
What is Metaphase and what does it look like   Spindle completely formed. poles at opposite ends. Centromeres align in center. (belt is lined up in the center)  
🗑
What is Anaphase and what does it look like   sister chromatids separate. Kinetochores' proteins move chromatids towards poles via ATP. Chromatids reach opposite poles.  
🗑
What is Telophase and what does it look like   Cell elongation continues. Nuclear membrane begins to form around chromosomes. Nuclei appear. Spindle disappears. Cytokineses occur where cytoplasm is divided amongst two cells (cleavage)  
🗑
What is Meiosis   To form gametes (sex cells(sperm and eggs))  
🗑
What are two gametes   Sex cells. Egg and sperm  
🗑
What is Meiosis 1   Very similar to Mitosis and Meiosis II, except: Chromosomes go in pairs, specifically in Anaphase instead of separating: anaphase "X" goes together  
🗑
What is the longest stage of meiosis   Prophase 1 (Puberty)  
🗑
What is the number of daughter cells after meiosis II   4  
🗑
Density-dependent inhibition/growth factors of density   (ex: wound: cell divides to repair damaged tissue until touches the other side). Starts with a breach, signals the growth factors, calculates how much is needed, stops when it is done.  
🗑
When do checkpoints occur in the cell cycle   G1, G2, and M phase  
🗑
How many checkpoints are there in the cell cycle   3  
🗑
What is signaling division in regards to the cell cycle   G1 checkpoint  
🗑
What is the percentage of time a cell divides   10%  
🗑
What organs does cell division occur in   Intestines, Skin, Liver, tissue. Spinal cells DO NOT divide or repair once damaged.  
🗑
What is a tumor suppressor gene   p53  
🗑
How can tumors form   Cell layers build up on top of each other when "not told" to stop. Lack density dependent inhibition. defective cell control cycles. divide continuously without restriction until uses up all nutrition.  
🗑
What is the difference between malignant tumors vs. benign tumors   Benign: Most occur in older people/animals. Genes stop functioning properly Malignant: Cancer (excessive cell division). spread to organs and interrupt proper functioning. can separate from tumor and secrete signal to blood vessels to grow toward tumor.  
🗑
What is the difference between chemotherapy vs. radiation as cancer treatments   Radiation therapy:radiation to kill cancerous cells by damaging cancerous DNA more than normal cell DNA Chemotherapy:Drugs disrupt cell cycle. Freezes mitotic spindle or prevents spindle from forming.  
🗑
What is chiasma   Where the crossing over occurs (sites of crossing over)  
🗑
When does chiasma occur   early in Prophase 1  
🗑
What is crossing over   traits are exchanged between maternal and paternal during synapsis  
🗑
Mutations as genetic diversity   Mutations are ways for genetic material to vary, which leads to more genetic options. WIDEN THE GENE POOL, DIVERSITY  
🗑
What is a Karyotype   Picture of the chromosomes lined up in pairs and ordered longest to shortest. used to look for abnormalities or mutations.  
🗑
What do copies of chromosomes have to do with Down syndrome   Down syndrome has 3 copies of #21 (Called Trisomy 21), and has 47 chromosomes instead of 46  
🗑
What is deletion of chromosomes and what disorders occurs because of deletion or chromosomes   When part of a chromosome is missing, (ex: Cri du chat)  
🗑
Who is the father of inheritance   Gregor Mendel  
🗑
What is the Law of Segregation   allele pairs separate during the production of gametes (egg and sperm unite and each bring one allele for each trait =2)  
🗑
What is homozygous dominant/recessive   dominant: it has two alike alleles (RR or rr), recessive: different alleles are paired together (Rr)  
🗑
What is heterozygous   Heterozygous refers to having two different alleles for a single trait.  
🗑
What is the difference between phenotype vs genotype   Phenotype: Physical characteristics (what the allele shows)(interaction between genotype and environment), Known Genotype: genetic makeup (the actual alleles (ie aa), Unknown  
🗑
What does the first part of the Sutton-Boveri Chromosomal Theory of Inheritance say   Chromosomes come in pairs. One chromosome comes from the mother and one from the father. (Homologous pairs)  
🗑
What does the second part of the Sutton-Boveri Chromosomal Theory of Inheritance say   Synapses is the pairing of the homologous maternal and paternal chromosomes. These pairs separate into different daughter cells during meiosis.  
🗑
What is genetic linkage and how does it affect the assortment of alleles   Genetic linkage is the tendency of alleles that are located close together on a chromosome to be inherited together during the meiosis phase of sexual reproduction. Genes on same chromosome tend to stay together.  
🗑
How does physical distance compare to recombination   It is harder for the body to separate alleles that are closer together. The chance that any two genes on a chromosome will recombine is proportional to the physical distance between them.  
🗑
What is Polygenic inheritance   Effect of two or more genes on single phenotypic trait  
🗑
What is Pleiotropy   One gene that affects many different characteristics (ex: sickle-cell disease)  
🗑
Inherited Disorders: Recessive and Dominant   Most inherited disorders are recessive/hidden (ex: Tay-Sachs, Cystic Fibrosis). Dominant are less common because the person wold show the disorder. (ex: Huntington's is dormant for a while, Hypercholesterolemia)  
🗑
What is incomplete dominance   Three or more genes affect one thing  
🗑
What are the different blood types   A, B, O, AB A=Carbohydrate A, B=Carbohydrate B, O=No carbohydrate, AB=both carbohydrate A and B  
🗑
What are the compatibilities of blood types   A->A, O, AB B-> B, O, AB O-> O (Goes to everything) AB-> AB (Can receive everything)  
🗑
