What is a Purebred
|
What is - The offspring of many generations that have the same trait. Ex: short pea plants always come from short parent plants |
WHAT is Hybrid
|
What is- The offspring of genetically dissimilar parents, especially the offspring produced by breeding plants or animals of different varieties, species, or races. Example: offspring inherits 1 allele for tallness from pure bred tall plants, and 1 allele from a purebred short plant for shortness. The off spring will be a ____ and it will be tall because tallness is dominant. |
WHAT IS A Recessive Allele
|
WHAT is-the allele trait that is always hidden when the dominant trait is around. the dominant allele always wins when its around - IF a dominant gene for tallness from one parent and a recessive gene for shortness from the other parent pair up, tallness will be inherited because its dominant. You need two shortness genes to pair up to inherit shortness. |

What is Interphase
|
- 1st stage in the cell cycle cell grows getting ready to divide & replicate its DNA during Mitosis |
What is the Cell Cycle
|
What is The orderly set of events of a cells growth and division (AKA-the life cycle of a cell-which has 3 parts: Interphase, Mitosis and Cytokinesis) called |
What is Replication
|
What is - to make a duplicate or twin of one's self called |
What is a Chromosome
|
- What are-Many genes joined together- During prophase, Chromatin condenses and the DNA replicates to form two rods called chromatid, exact copies of each other. This double rod of chromatids is called a__________ |
WHAT IS Meiosis (mi-o-sis)
|
WHAT IS THE formation of sex cells (sperm and egg) - the number of chromosomes is halved -It has 4 phases, like Mitosis, but it’s phases repeat, - replicate 2 times, so there’s Prophase 2 and metaphase 2 and so on
|
WHAT IS A Cell
|
WHAT IS THE basic unit of structure of all living things called |
|
WHAT DOES Telophase look like |
WHat does metaphase look like |

|
Which organelle is the Gogli body Ribosome Centriole Endoplasmic reticulum- smooth and rough Nucleus Nucleolus Lysosome Mitochondria Cytoplasm
|
cell wall or cell membrane = plasma membrane cytoplasm = cytosol Ignore the Pinocytotic Vesicle |
Two important differences between processes of mitosis and meiosis are: |
|
Where are the chromosomes in a cell? |
in the nucleus the brains of the cell |
What are the 2 types of cell division? |
mitosis and meiosis |
adenine |
One of the four nitrogen bases in DNA |
What are centrioles |
cylinder shaped organelles -that pair up, -pairs go to either side of the cell then -shoot out spindle fibers -during prophase |
What are chloroplasts |
Disc shaped organelles found in plant cells (not animal cells) that help the plant turn sunlight into food |
A nucleic acid composed of two strands with bars in between like a ladder twisted into a spiral forming a double helix shape and carries the genetic information of the cell |
What is DNA What do the letters stand for? |
What is guanine |
One of the 4 nitrogen bases in DNA |
The period between cell divisions (before Mitosis) when cell grows in preparation for the next division (3rd part of cell cycle) |
What is interphase |
Organelles that contain digestive juices that break down food, and cell waste the clean up crew of the cell |
What are lysosomes |
Cell division in which the chromosomes replicate like in Mitosis but is followed by 2 nuclear divisions (nucleus of cell divides 2 times ,not one time like in Mitosis) resulting in 4 daughter SEX cells (gametes) |
What is meiosis |
The stage of cell division (in mitosis or meiosis) when chromosomes line up at the equator of the cell |
What is metaphase |
A network of thread like fibers formed during prophase that attach to the centromeres of the chromosomes and help draw the chromosomes apart during anaphase |
What are spindles |
The unexpected change in a gene, that makes a different form of that gene that can be inherited by future generations, (caused by an accidental change in the DNA)
|
What is mutation |
Name of the Cell parts that carry out individual functions of the cell like the organs inside our body's do |
What are organelles |
What are chloroplasts and cell wall |
What are two things a plant cell has that a animal cell doesn't have? |
Process by which DNA is duplicated before cell division |
What is replication |
WHat DO THEY CALL - cells breathing |
WHAT IS "cellular respiration" |
Organelles - look like tiny dots freely floating around inside the cell and -attach to the endoplasmic reticulum(ER) they help make proteins |
What are Ribosomes |
The final stage of mitosis When the chromosomes migrate to opposite poles, a new nuclear envelope forms, and the chromosomes uncoil |
What is Telophase |
What do you call the - (foursomes) - 2 chromosomes from mom and dad (2 overlapping X's, that are made up of 4 lines - the chromatids) that occur during Meiosis? XX |
WHat are Tetrads (tedrad means 4 things together.) Count the rods that make up the two X's !) |
what is Thymine |
One of the 4 nitrogen bases in DNA that begins with a T |
What are the Fluid-filled spaces or capsules in plant and animal cells that remove waste products and store ingested food. There's usually one big one, full of water, in plants |
WHat are vacuoles |
Why do sex cells created in Meiosis, have only half as many chromosomes as a cell needs ? |
Because they are going to join up with other sex cells from the other parent to make offspring (baby) cells. -Then it will add its half to the other parent's half to make one complete cell |
The spindles are pulling the chromosomes towards opposite poles of the cell where they will become part of 2 new nuclei for 2 new daughter cells- in Mitosis and Meiosis - it will happen 2 times in Meiosis. It is called just plane anaphase in Mitosis. |
YOu can tell this is _________ , of MEIOSIS because there are 2 cells now not just one like there is in Mitosis, whose spindles are pulling the chromosomes towards opposite poles , getting ready for the second split in Telephase, so that there will be 4 daughter cells |
THESE ARE 2 PICTURES of 1 cell picture 1- BEGINNING OF _______ picture 2 - THE END OF ________ YOU CAN TELL BECAUSE: picture 1-YOU CAN'T SEE ANY CHROMOSOMES picture 2- now THE CHROMATIN HAVE Condensed/Fattened up INTO CHROMOSOMES; and Nuclear Wall is breaking up, losing its shape. What you cant see in the photo = are the CENTROMERES going to opposite poles of the cell while spindle fibers make a bridge between them. |
In this phase of Mitosis & Meiosis, the chromosomes(in red) have all split and have been pulled by the spindle fibers to opposite poles of the cell. 2 new nuclei have formed and the cell is ready for the last phase - when it will elongate before Cytosis |
In this phase of Mitosis and Meiosis, the chromosomes are all lined up at the equator of the cell. The spindle fibers are there too, attached to the chromosomes. they look like faint squiggly lines ready for the next phase when they will pulled apart chromosomes to either pole of the cell |
WHat is a Helix |
what is An object in the shape of a corkscrew, a spiral staircase or a spiral called |
Adenine & thymine AT pair up Guanine & Cytosine G,C pair up |
