Question
Answer
Chromatin   Complex of DNA with histone and nonhistone protein. Organized into discrete bodies called chromosomes  
🗑
Karyotype   Number, size, and morphology of the chromosome set of a cell  
🗑
Genome   Chromosomes in a haploid set, or all the chromosomes in a diploid nucleus  
🗑
Centromere positions, from the middle to the end   Metacentric, submetacentric, acrocentric or sub-telocentric, telocentric  
🗑
Fundamental difference between asexual and sexual reproduction   Sexual reproduction generates variation through genetic recombination  
🗑
Cytokinesis   Division of cytoplasm  
🗑
Cell cycle   Cycle of growth, mitosis, and cell division  
🗑
Two phases of somatic cell cycle   Interphase and mitotic or dividing phase  
🗑
What occurs during interphase?   DNA replication and synthesis of protein and nucleic acid components  
🗑
What are the three stages of interphase?   G1, S, and G2  
🗑
S period   Synthesis or replication of DNA  
🗑
G1 period   Synthesis of RNA, functional protein, and enzymes and substrates for DNA replication  
🗑
G2 period   Synthesis of structural protein, and spindle and aster protein. High energy demand  
🗑
Uses of cell division   Growth, replacement of cells, and wound healing  
🗑
Five phases of mitosis   Prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase  
🗑
Prophase   Chromatin condenses and chromosomes become visible  
🗑
Prometaphase   Chromosomes continue condensing, nuclear membrane and nucleolus break down, centrioles migrate to poles of cell, spindle fibers extend  
🗑
Metaphase   Spindle fibers pull chromosomes into line along metaphase plate. Order is important, and each sister chromatid is attached by spindle fibers to opposite poles of cell  
🗑
Anaphase   Sister chromatids split and move to opposite poles of cell  
🗑
Telophase   Fibers from centrioles break down and nuclear envelope forms around each set of chromosomes. Chromatin decondenses and nucleolus reappears  
🗑
Spindle fibers   Microtubules consisting of proteins called tubulins. Form spindle between two pairs of centrioles  
🗑
Aster   Microtubules radiating outward from centrioles  
🗑
Kinetochore microtubules   Invade nuclear space and attach to kinetochores during prometaphase  
🗑
Polar microtubules   Push against each other to move centrosomes apart  
🗑
Kinetochore   Multiprotein disk located on the centromere that is specialized to interact with spindle fibers during mitosis  
🗑
When does crossing over occur?   Prophase I of meiosis I  
🗑
Synapsis   Two homologous chromosomes come into side-by-side contact to form a bivalent  
🗑
Bivalent   Pair of homologous chromosomes held together by a complex  
🗑
Tetrad   Two pairs of chromatids, so four future chromosomes  
🗑
What are the 5 stages of prophase I   Leptonema, zygonema, pachynema, diplonema, and diakinesis  
🗑
Leptonema   Chromosomes begin to coil. Pairing of homologous chromosomes  
🗑
Zygonema   Yolk-thread. Synapsis, or the formation of the synaptonemal complex  
🗑
Synaptonemal complex   Zipper-like structure along length of chromatids  
🗑
Pachynema   Thick-thread. Synapsis is complete, crossing over occurs. Synapsis disassembles  
🗑
Diplonema   Double-thread. Homologues begin to separate. Chiasma becomes apparent  
🗑
Chiasma   Cross-shaped structure that is physical evidence of crossing over  
🗑
Diakinesis   Across thread. Chiasmata often terminalize and tetrads become clearly visible  
🗑
What are PARs?   Pseudoautosomal regions. Found on each end of Y chromosomes and allow sex chromosomes to pair and cross over even though they are not homologous.  
🗑
What happens if the PAR is deleted from the short arm of the Y chromosome?   Pairing does not occur between X and Y chromosomes, so the male is fertile  
🗑
Metaphase I of meiosis I   Tetrads align at metaphase plate  
🗑
Anaphase I of meiosis I   Homologous chromosomes are pulled apart, but sister chromatids stay together  
🗑
What do the daughter cells of meiosis I contain?   One of each of the homologous chromosomes. Sister chromatids are not identical  
🗑
What does meiosis II result in?   Four unidentical haploid daughter cells  
🗑
What does spermatogenisis result in?   Four spermatids that develop into spermatozoa  
🗑
What does oogenisis result in?   One ovum and three polar bodies  
🗑
Gametophyte   Haploid plant stage in which gametes are produced by meiosis (sexual)  
🗑
Sporophyte   Diploid plant stage in which haploid spores are produced by mitosis (asexual)  
🗑
Pistil   Female part of a flower. Includes stigma, style, and ovary  
🗑
Stamen   Male part of a flower. Includes anther and filament  
🗑
Megasporogenisis   Meiosis in female part of the flower that produces a megaspore  
🗑
Megagametophyte   Cell with eight identical haploid nuclei in a common cytoplasm. Produced by megaspore undergoing three successive rounds of nuclear mitotic divisions  
🗑
Embryo sac   Entire seven-celled megagametophyte structure. One cell becomes the egg  
🗑
Microsporogenisis   Meiosis in male part of the flower that produces pollen grains  
🗑
Process of microsporogenisis   Anther>four pollen sacs>diploid microspore mother cells>four haploid microspores (pollen)  
🗑
Significance of sex   Generate genetic diversity through independent assortment, crossing over, and random fertilization  
🗑
