Cell division , Genetics,Reproduction study guide Flashcards
(65 cards)
a fertilized egg, the result of a sperm and egg cell nucleus combining
Zygote
the many celled ball that results after and ovum is fertilized
blastula
Steps in Mitosis
Porphase,Metaphase,Anaphase,and Telophase
of cell divisions
Mitosis= 1 Meiosis = 2
of daughter cells
Mitosis = 2 Meiosis = 4
Chromosome#
Mitosis = 2n Meiosis = 1n
sperm cell and egg cell nucleus fuse forming a zygote
Fertilization
the zygote begins to divide forming a many celled ball called a blastula. each cell in the blastula is identical at this point ,and is called a blastomere
Cleavage
Each blastomre transforms into one of three germ layers, ectoderm, mesoderm, or endoderm
Gastriculation
the neural fold forms closes and becomes the neutral tube a precursor of the brainnnnnnnn and spinal cord. if the tube does not close completely, a condition callled spinal bifida results.
Neurlation
formation and function of the organs
Organogenesis
all organs become larger
growth
the reproductive organs produce functional gametes - egg and sperm
Gametogenesis
a segment on a chromosome which codes for 1 trait
gene
the passing of genetic information form parent to offspring
Heredity
requires only 1 allele for the trait to be expressed i.e. Rr > red flower
Dominant Trait
Requires 2 alleles for the trait to be expressed i.e. rr white flower color
Recessive Trait
the actual alleles present in an individual
Genotype
what you see in the individual i.e. Brown hair, red flower color.
phenotype
a version of a gene. I.e. R or r
Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes and therefore 2 alleles for each trait
Allele
Genrally 3 phenotypes are seen for the trait I.e Red, pink, and white
Incomplete Dominance
the allele or trait is carried on the X chromosome and is seem more frequently in males than females
sex linked
chromosomes exchange portions of themselves and increase genetic variability
Crossing Over
Inactivated X chromosomes found only in females
Barr bodies
