Iron storage
Hemosiderin
Aging pigments
Lipofuscin
Cell junction commonly found in the skin and in intercalated discs of the heart
Gap Junction
Thread like substances also found in intercalated disc of the heart
Desmosome
Cell junction that forms when cells are squished up to each other
Tight junction
A small circular piece of DNA that is different from the chromosomal DNA. Mainly found in bacteria
Plasmids
DNA molecule that grants bacterial resistivity to one antibiotic or more
R plasmid
Episomes that can be inserted into chromosomal DNA
F plasmid
Type of inheritance that does not skip generations. Just one copy of the mutant allele is needed to be expressed.
Ex. Huntington’s disease, Achondroplasia
Autosomal Dominant
Type of inheritance that skips generations. Manifested only when two copies of the aberrant allele is present. If only one
copy—>CARRIER
ex. Cystic fibrosis, Tay-Sachs Syndrome
Autosomal Recessive
Types of inheritance that is manifested with only one copy of the mutant allele.
FATHER TO DAUGHTER.
Ex. Retinitis pigmentosa, chondrodysplasia punctata
X-Linked Dominant
Not manifested when there is a normal copy of the gene.
MOTHER TO SON (Usually).
Ex. Hemophilia, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, re-green color blind
X-Linked Recessive
Genes that are located on the same chromosome. Passed down together and their phenotypes are often found together.
Ex. Red hair and freckles
Linked Genes
Inactive X chromosome present in the nucleus of female somatic cells. Males do not have this
Barr Bodies
No true nucleus
Bacteria
No true nucleus. Can thrive in extreme environments
Archaea
Organisms with true nucleus
Eukarya
Does not photosynthesize. Are decomposers, eukaryotic plant like
Fungi
Unicellular prokaryotic bacteria and extremophiles
Monera
Seed germination onwards
Vegetative
Flowering, pollen, and fertilization
Reproductive
Fruit and seed formation
Ripening
Particular organs such as leaves or flowers
Senescence
