Term
asexual reproduction (3 points)
Definition
1 organism
occurs through mitosis
offspring are genetically identical to parent
Term
sexual reproduction
Definition
male gamete+ female gamete = zygote
Term
gametogenesis (reason for)
Definition
maintains the number of chromosomes between generations
Term
haploid (3 points)
Definition
n
one set of chromosomes an organism has
in humans 23
Term
diploid (3 points)
Definition
2n
two sets of chromosomes an organism has
in humans 46
Term
mitosis (3 points)
Definition
sequence of growth and division of a cell
2 main components: interphase and cell division
divides chromosomes between 2 daughter cells
Term
interphase (definition and parts)
Definition
interval between nuclear division
G1, S and G2
Term
G1 (2 points)
Definition
first growth period
increase in amount of cytoplasm and organelles
Term
S
Definition
DNA is duplicated
Term
G2
Definition
second growth period
Term
prophase
Definition
chromosomes condense
Term
metaphase
Definition
spindle fibres connect and line up
Term
anaphase
Definition
start to pull apart
Term
telophase
Definition
cell wall forms/ cell begins to split
Term
cytokinesis
Definition
cleavage furrow/cell plate finished/ formed
Term
p arm
Definition
short segement of sister chromatid
Term
q arm
Definition
long segment of sister chromatid
Term
meiosis (4 points)
Definition
generates genetic diverstiy
reduces chromosome number
generates gametes
2 major stages of PMAT
Term
homologous
Definition
same
Term
meiosis I prophase I (3 points)
Definition
chromatin condenses
DNA replicates seperates into homologous pairs
move closer together (synapsis)
Term
synapsis
Definition
move closer together
Term
crossing over (3 points)
Definition
between non sister chromatids
DNA breaks off, rejoins other end of other DNA molecule
instead of 2 sets of genes, we get 4
Term
tetrad
Definition
4 sister chromatids, homologous pairs
Term
genes _________ are more likely to cross over
Definition
further apart
Term
chromatids may cross over ___________
Definition
more than once
Term
meiosis I metaphase I
Definition
homologous pairs line up because of spindle
Term
meiosis I ananphase I (segregation)
Definition
tetrads seperate with centromeres intact
Term
meiosis I telophase I (2 points)
Definition
cytoplasm seperates
now have 2 haploid cells
Term
interkinesis
Definition
no replication of DNA
Term
meiosis II prophase II
Definition
spindle fibers form
Term
meiosis II metaphase II
Definition
chromosomes line up along equatorial plate
Term
meiosis II anaphase II
Definition
centromeres split and chromatids split up
Term
meiosis II telophase II (2 points)
Definition
cytokinesis seperates cells
now have 4 haploid cells
Term
chromatin
Definition
uncondensed DNA
Term
chromatid
Definition
either of the 2 strands of DNA joined together by centromere
Term
chromosome
Definition
formed from condensed DNA
Term
homologous pair
Definition
2 chromosomes, 4 sister chromatid
Term
non disjunction (3 points)
Definition
imperfect cell division in gametes
homologous or sister chromatids fail to separate
mostly fatal, sometimes developmental difficulties
Term
karyotype (2 points)
Definition
picture of chromosomes
sorts from largest to smallest
Term
2 ways to get karyotypes
Definition
amniocentesis (liquid surrounding fetus)
chorionic villus sampling (placenta tissue)
Term
parts of a nucleotide (3 points)
Definition
5 carbon sugar
phosphate group
nitrogenous base
Term
nucleotide
Definition
smallest piece of a strand of DNA
Term
DNA
Definition
deoxyribonucleic acid
Term
4 proteins
Definition
adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine
Term
purines (2 points)
Definition
adenine and guanine
5 and 6 sided carbon rings joined together
Term
pyrimidines (2 points)
Definition
thymine and cytosine
single 6 sided carbon rings
Term
the base pairs (2)
Definition
guanine and cytosine
adenine and thymine
Term
DNA backbones discovered by ____________ in ____
Definition
Watson and Crick in 1950
Term
mutations
Definition
changes in the genetic material
Term
point mutations (2 types)
Definition
substitutions and insertions/deletions
Term
base pair substitutions
Definition
replace with one nucleotide with another
Term
silent substitutions
Definition
same proteins so no effect
Term
missense mutations (2 points)
Definition
different protein is formed
may be transmitted if in gametes
Term
base pair insertions/deletions (3 points)
Definition
additions or losses of nucleotide(s)
alters reading frame (frame shift)
usually produces non functional genetic material
Term
group of 3 nucleotides=_______=________
Definition
1 codon = 1 amino acid
Term
translocation (3 points)
Definition
re-arrangement of parts between non homologous chromosomes
balance of chromosomes still normal
alter phenotype (what is seen)
Term
duplication
Definition
repetition of chromosomal fragment
Term
deletion (2 points)
Definition
portion of chromosome lost
mostly lethal due to missing genes
Term
causes of mutations
Definition
spontaneous (just happens)
mutagenic agents (UV, radiation, X rays. chemicals)
