Term
  1. karyokinesis
  2. Cytokinesis
Definition
  1. Nuclear division
  2. Cytoplasmic division
Term
Two types of nuclear division
Definition
  1. Mitosis 
  2. Meiosis 
Term
What stain did we use for the human cheek cell
Definition
Methylene blue stain
Term
Before replication and after, a chromosome is referred to as?
Definition
  1. Monad
  2. Dyad
Term
oncogenes
Definition
cancer causing genes
Term
Wright's Stain
Definition
standard laboratory blood stain
Term
leukemia
Definition

be able to identify:

chronic, acute, or normal lymphocytic leukemia

Term
what is wrong with cancer cells?
Definition

continuously undergo cell division

-no control

Term
Meiosis
Definition

occurs in sex cells

  • changes diploid cells to haploid cells
  • produces gametes-sperm cells or egg cells
  • 2 gametes fuse to produce a diploid zygote that then goes through many mitotic cell division to produce a diploid multicellular animal= baby!
Term
Cont' Meiosis
Definition
end of meiosis produce 4 daughter cells from the original single cell. not identical to the parent
Term
Meiosis I
Definition

23 homologous pairs of chromosomes

  • consist of two sister chromatids
  • prophase I, metaphase I, anaphase I, telophase I
  • Interkinesis: gap between meiosis I and meiosis II
  • anaphase: homologue pairs separate and move toward opposite poles; sister chromtids remain attached to each other
Term
karyotyping
Definition
  • photograph of the chromosomes
  • detect chromosomal disabilities
  • used the drug: colchicine

destroys the spindle fibers and so the cell stays in metaphase of mitosis

Term
Meiosis II
Definition
  • 23 chromosomes comes apart at its centromere, separating the sister chromatids of each chromosome.
  • same process as mitosis

 

Term
normal karyotype
Definition

will have 22 pairs of autosomes and two sex chromosomes

  • three things identify homologous chromosome pairs
  1. similar length
  2. similar centromere position
  3. similar banding pattern after staining
Term
chromosomes abnormality
Definition
  • down syndrome: trisomy 21
  • edwards syndrome: trisomy 18
  • patau syndrome: trisomy 13
  • klinefelter syndrome: extra X chromosome in a male (XXY)
  • turner syndrome: monosomy X (female)
  • triplo-X syndrome: trisomy X (female)
  • jacob syndrome: extra Y chromosome in a male (XYY)
