Q

What solvent is used in paper chromatography, and how does it work?

A

Non-polor solvent
Involves two phases (one mobile phase and one stationary phase).

Add substance to stationary phase and then allow mobile phase to run through it. Things attracted to stationary phase will stay and things attracted to the mobile phase will move with it.

Q

Why is it beneficial to have several different plant pigments involved in photosynthesis.what color of light is best for photosynthesis?

A

more wavelengths can be absorbed, white because all colors present

Q

Do plants carry out photosynthesis only during the day? Explain your answer. Do plants carry out cellular respiration only at night? Explain your answer

A

true, during day because thats when light is available to be converted to energy. 2 - False, need energy all the time

Q

Identify and be familiar with the cleavage furrow and the cell plate. Explain why cleavage furrowing is a suitable mechanism for cytokinesis for animal cells but not plant cells Explain why.

A

telophase, plants have cell walls and cellulose is too tough and centrioles and cleavage furrow in animals only; plants have cell plate when going through cytokinesis

17
Q

Define diploid, haploid, homologous chromosomes.

A

diploid - 2n, homologous pairs. haploid - n, no pair,same length, shape and genes, one from each parent

18
Q

What is synapsis? What is crossing over? What does it result in?

A

synapsis - homologous pairs coming together. crossing over - swap equal amount of genetic material (chromatids). results in genetic recombination

19
Q

Define allele, genotype, phenotype, heterozygous and homozygous.

A

gene that governs characteristic, The entire genetic makeup of an organism, An organisms appearance or another detectable characteristic, an organism that has two different alleles for a trait, An individual that has identical alleles for a trait on both homologous chromosomes.

20
Q

Be able to do both a monhybrid & dihybrid cross. What is the expected phenotypic ratio of a both crosses?

A

3:1, 9:3:3:1

21
Q

Where are autosomal characteristics carried? Where are sex-linked traits carried?

A

chromosomes 1-22, position 23

22
Q

How are X-linked traits inherited differently in males and females? Be able to do the crosses.

A

They differ in size and appearance,Females can be carriers, males cannot.

23
Q

Be able to recognize incomplete dominance and codominance.

A

where there is only one color, one allele does not completely dominate another allele, and therefore results in a new phenotype

24
Q

How can you tell the sex of an individual in a normal karyotype? What are the chromosome abnormalities that are associated with Turner syndrome?

A

23rd position, larger is X, smaller is y

X{X}

25
Q

What chromosome abnormality is associated with Down syndrome? Be able to recognize these karyotypes.

A

trisomy/nondisfunctional 21 95% of the time

47, XY, +21 or 47, XX, +21

26
Q

Know what a pedigree is and be able to determine patterns of inheritance.

A

a family tree of genetics

27
Q

Define replication, transcription, translation, and gel electrophoresis.

A

DNA makes an identical copy of itself,DNA makes complementary copy of itself into mRNA,
Codones on mRNA are translated into polypeptides, Separates molecules based on size and charge

28
Q

What are the 3 parts that make up a nucleotide of DNA?

A

dioxyribose & phosphate (sides), nitrogenous bases (rungs)

29
Q

In DNA, which parts make up the ladder sides and which part make up the ladder rungs?

A

Sides=sugar and phosphate, Rungs=bases

30
Q

Given a sequence of DNA bases on one strand, be able to predict the base sequence on the new strand.

A

G goes to C

T goes to A

31
Q

What is a codon? What is its function? What organelle is associated with translation?

A

a specific group of 3 sequential bases of mRNA,Each codon codes for a specific amino acid, ribosomes

32
Q

What is gel electrophoresis used for? Upon what basis does it separate molecules? In gel electrophoresis, what makes molecules migrate?

A

used to separate DNA fragments (or other macromolecules, such as RNA and proteins) based on their size and charge.t separates molecules on the basis of charge, size, and shape.

33
Q

What is DNA fingerprinting and be able to use it to answer application questions.

A

a technique used by scientists to distinguish b/t individuals of the same species using only samples of their DNA.

34
Q

Who is the father of evolution and what did he write?

A

Charles Darwin

Organisms have one common ancestor and have evolved throughout time.

35
Q

Define natural selection and adaptive radiation. What evidence supports evolutionary theory?

A

Some organisms have an advantage over others,A process in which organisms diversify rapidly into a multitude of new forms, particularly when a change in the environment makes new resources available.
the fossil record
amino acid comparisons
homologous structures

36
Q

Define homologous and analogous structures. What are some examples of vestigial structures?

A

a trait found in two species that inherited if from the same common ancestor,a trait with a similar function found in two unrelated species. human tail bone, monkey tail, appendix, wisdom teeth

37
Q

Glycolysis

A 
Stage 1 of cellular respiration
Location: cytoplasm
What happens: glucose is broken down into 2 molecules of pyruvate (2 3-carbon compounds)
Reactant: 1Glucose
Products: 2Pyruvates
Produces: 2 ATP, 2 NADH (net)
38
Q

Citric Acid Cycle

A

Stage 2 of cellular respiration
Location: matrix of mitochondria
What happens: completes breakdown of carbon dioxide, makes small amounts of ATP, provides electrons

39
Q

Oxidative Phosphorylation

A

Stage 3 of cellular respiration
Location: inner membrane and inner membrane space of mitochondria
What happens: electron transport chain, chemiosmosis; energy from electrons–> produces 32 ATP

40
Q

Why is the detergent added to the cells during DNA extraction?

A

To break down the phospholipid layer

41
Q

What are some scientific uses of extracting DNA from cells?

A

Cut, paste, mutate and transfer the DNA molecule with relative ease
