Term
Term associated with having one different nucleotide in DNA sequence
Definition
single nucleotide polymorphism

What occurs in a restriction enzyme cut site they create
Definition
Restricion fragment length polymorphism
Term
Two factors that affect migration of DNA through agrose gel?
Definition
Size of DNA, buffer, voltage, agrose concentration
Term
Restriction enzyme

What restriction enzyme did we use?
Definition
ecoR1
Term
DNA Ladder
Definition
allow people to determine the approximate size of DNA fragments
Term
DNA migration
Definition
moves to positive side of gel, small fragments move faster
Term
Law of segregation
Definition
alleles randomly separate and unite during fertilization
Term
Sex-linked traits
Definition
color blindness
Term
Gene
Definition
Instruction for building protein, determine specific traits
Term
gamete
Definition
one gene of each pair (Gh)
Term
Segregation
Definition
Pairs of alleles separated during gamete formation
Term
Diploid cell
Definition
homologeous pairs of chomosomes, one from each parent (46 chromosomes)
Term
Somatic
Definition
All living cells minus sex chromosomes
Term
Gene
Definition
Segment of DNA in a chromosome (Codes for protein)
Term
Centrosome
Definition
centrioles plus proteins
Term
Spermatogenesis
Definition
1 cell to 4 sperms
Term
Crossing over
Definition
Occurs in prophase 1 of meiosis, homologous chromosome cross dna alleles with eachother between X and Y. Sorts genes into gametes
Term
Sex-limited
Definition
M/F inherit same gene, only the genes appropriate for the persons gender are turned on. Ex: guys beard and girls breasts
Term
Interphase
Definition
G1: Cell growth
S: synthesis/DNA replication
G2: Organelles divide, preparation for mitosis
Term
Mitosis
Definition
Chromosomes sort into two sets and the cytoplasm divides, one copy of each chromosome into two cells
Term
Prophase
Definition
chromatin condense into chromosome, centrosome's move towards poles, nuclear membrane fragments and nucleolus disappears
Term
Translation to metaphase
Definition
nuclear envelope is gone, spindle microtubules attach to chromosomes at centrioles
Term
Metaphase
Definition
Duplicated chromosomes align midway between poles of the cell (equator)
Term
Anaphase
Definition
Sister chromatid splits, pulled towards pole region, spindles elongate (Opposite poles)
Term
Telephase "Reverse prophase"
Definition
Chromosome's are threadlike, nuclear envelope forms around each cluster, chromosomes de-condense into chromatin
Term
Cytokinesis
Definition
Division of cytoplasm, begins towards end anaphase; Cleavage furrow (plasma membrane is pulled around cell and pinched to make two cells)
Term
Parent cell contains 28 chromosomes and undergoes mitosis and cytokinesis the one daughter cell will contain how many chromosomes?
Definition
28
Term
28 parent cells unergo mitosis and cytokinesis then ____ daughter cells will be produced
Definition
56
Term
Meiosis
Definition
two consecutive division of the chromosomes.2N to n for reproduction
Term
Intephase (meiosis)
Definition
Germ cell copies DNA
Term
Meiosis I
Definition
Separation of homolegous chromosomes
Term
Meiosis II
Definition
Separation of sister chromatid NO REPLICATION OR INTERPHASE
Term
Crossing over
Definition
Homologous chromosomes pair up and break at the same place, exchange of segments of DNA
Term
Prophase 1
Definition
homologous chromosome condense, pair up, and swap segments, nuclear envelope breaks
Term
Metaphase 1
Definition
Homologous pairs align midway between spindle fibers
Term
Anaphase 1
Definition
Homologous chromosomes separate and begin heading towards the spindle poles
Term
Telaphase 1
Definition
two clusters of chromosomes reach the spindle poles, new nuclear envelope forms so two haploid
Term
Prophase II
Definition
chromosomes condense, nuclear envelope gone
Term
Metaphase II
Definition
Still duplicated chromosomes are aligned midway between spindles
Term
Anaphase II
Definition
Sister chromatids separate, unduplicated chromosomes head to spindle poles. DISJUNCTION
Term
Telaphase II
Definition
Cluster of chromosomes reach each spindle pole, nucleaer envelope encloses to form 4 haploid cells
Term
If a parent cell contains 28 chromosomes and undergo meiosis I and II then one daughter cell will contain....?
Definition
14
Term
If 28 parent cells undergo meiosis I and II then _____ daughter cells will be produced
Definition
112 ( 1 in 4 out)
Term
Two types of gamatogenesis
Definition
Spermatogenesis and Oogenesis
Term
Fusion of egg and sperm?
Definition
conception
