25
cell cycle is controlled and _____
well-replicated
26
cell growth and normal functions
Gap 1
27
copies DNA
Gap 2
28
includes division of the cell nucleus and division of cell cytoplasm
mitosis
29
refers to the division of cell nucleus
mitosis
30
refers to the division of cell cytoplasm
cytokinesis
31
chromosomes condense and spindle fibers form
prophase
32
- chromosomes line up across the middle of the cell - spindle fibers connect the centromere of each sister chromatid to the poles of the cell
mitosis
33
- separated sister chromatids move to opposite poles of the cell and become individual chromosomes
anaphase
34
cell division that produced two identical daughter cells
mitosis
35
haploid daughter cells
meiosis
36
diploid daughter cells
mitosis
37
meiosis occurs in the _____ since this cell division is for the creation of gametes or sex cells
gonads
38
where spermatogenesis occurs
testis
39
reductional division
meiosis 1
40
interphase 1 is similar to _____, and nucleus and nucleolus are visible
interphase in mitosis
41
longest in metaphase I: - pairing of homologous chromosomes - synapsis - crossing over
prophase 1
42
site of crossing over
chiasmata
43
shortest phase in metaphase I: leads to variation
metaphase 1
44
similar to mitosis
meiosis II
45
characteristics of the genetic material (S-R-T-M)
- stable - replicable - translatable - mutable
46
expression of genetic code
- DNA replication - transcription - messenger RNA - ribosome - translation - protein
47
inheritance pattern in animals
- medelian genetics - non-mendelian genetics
48
- segregation - complete dominance - independent assortment
mendelian genetics
49
- incomplete dominance - co-dominance
non-mendelian genetics
50
heritable units that are passed on from parents to offspring
genes
51
alternative forms of the same gene found in chromosomes
alleles
52
dominant =
fully expressed
53
no noticeable effect in the presence of the dominant allele
recessive
54
3 genotype
- homozygous dominant - heterozygous dominant - homozygous recessive
55
site where an allele is found
locus
56
father of genetics
gregor mendell
57
parental generation in a breeding experiment
parental (P1) generation
58
first generation of offspring
F1 generation
59
second generation of offspring
F2 generation
60
visual representation of Mendelian inheritance
punnet square
61
how to make a punnet square
- make a grid - fill in the grid - fill in the offspring
62
how many box are needed if either parent is homozygous [shortcut]
1
63
mendel's principles
- principle of dominance - principle of segregation - independent assortment
64
states that one allele was dominant over the other
principle of dominance
65
states that pairs of hereditary factors become separated when gametes are formed
principle of segregation
66
states that members of one gene pair segregate independently from the other gene pairs during gamete formation
independent assortment
67
states that "both alleles exert an effect and jointly produce an intermediate phenotype"
incomplete dominance
68
"when both alleles show dominance, alleles of a gene pair in a herterozygote are expressed to an equal degree within an organism
co-dominance
69
more than 2 alleles
multiple alleles
