22
Q

Benefits of E. Coli as model organism

A

copes well w/ various conditions, reproduces rapidly, small genomes.

23
Q

Benefits of Yeast as model organism

A

single celled, rapid reproduction, only 2.5 times as much DNA as E. Coli

24
Q

Benefits of Arabidopsis as model organism

A

small, grows indoors, quick reproduction, small genome

25
Benefit of Drosophila as model organism
genetic tools allow us to probe development. 
26
Benefits of C. Elegans as model organism
Model for apoptosis (programmed cell death). Unusual degree of regularity.
27
Genes that control the cell-division cycle
cdc genes
28
S. Pombe cells with temperature-sensitive ? genes cannot divide at high temperatures
cdc2
29
We have over ? different types of cells in our bodies assembled into a variety of tissues
200
30
Three types of epithelial cells
absorptive, ciliated, secretory
31
The brain and spinal cord are composed of a network of ?
neurons
32
synapse
where a neuron forms a junction with another neuron (or muscle cell)
33
Erythrocytes
red blood cells. have no nucleus or internal membranes. filled with hemoglobin.
34
leucocytes
white blood cells. protect against infections.
35
Two types of leucocytes
lymphocytes, macrophages
36
moves joints by strong and rapid contraction
skeletal muscle
37
thin elongated cells present in digestive tract, bladder, arteries and veins
smooth muscle
38
intermediate muscle between skeletal and smooth
cardiac (responsible for heartbeat)
39
cells entire library of genetic information
genome
40
Organelles that have their own DNA and reproduce by dividing in two (2)
mitochondria and chloroplasts
41
site of intracellular digestion
lysosomes
42
generates and degrades hydrogen peroxide
peroxisomes
43
diverse group of unicellular eukaryotic organisms that prey upon other cells
protozoa
44
benefits of zebrafish as model organism
transparent for first two weeks of life
45
model vertebrate
zebrafish
46
Organism that Provided definitive proof that genes are carried on chromosomes.
Drosophila
47
Organism used in Used in discovery of how cells replicate.
E. Coli
48
Benefits of mice as model organism
deliberately engineered mutations, almost every gene has counterpart in humans
