Q

Cell cycle can be initiated by what events

A

Death of a nearby cell, presence of growth hormones, size of the cell, and crowding of the cells

Q

Does the cell have internal mechanisms to prevent a compromised cell from dividing?

A

Yes this halts the cell cycle progression until conditions are favorable to proceed

17
Q

Using intense radiation (UV rays) and locally zapping the cancer cells.

18
Q

Antibodies (Proteins)

A

immunotherapy

19
Q

How many autosomes are found in the human sperm cell?

A

22 chromosomes in a gamete (23 because they’re a haploid)

20
Q

If a Hawk has a body cell with 68 chromosomes, how many would the gametes have?

A

68 is the diploid # found in the somatic cells. During meiosis this # is halved and the resulting cells are gametes.
So 1/2 of 68 is 34.

21
Q

Which are identical? Sister chromatids or homologous chromosomes? Explain.

A

Sister chromatids are identical copies of the same chromosomes. Homologous have the same genetic information coded on them but the coding itself doesn’t have to be the same

22
Q

chromosomes of the same kind, but each is from a different parent. What type of chromosome?

A

Homologous chromosomes

23
Q

Taking a cell with two copies of chromosome (diploid) and makes a cell with a single copy of every chromosome (haploid)

24
Q

What happens in meiosis

A

one diploid cells produces 4 haploid cells

25
events leading to variation
Crossing over that occurs during Meiosis, Prophase Part 1
26
NONDISJUNCTION
Chromosomes pairs don't separate during meiosis
27
What happens after nondisjunction
One gamete receives 2 of the same type of chromosome and another gamete receives no copy of that chromosome.
28
Not involved in disjunction means
The chromosomes are distributed normally
29
If an abnormal gamete produced by nondisjunction unites with a normal gamete during fertilization
The result is a zygote with an abnormal amount of chromosomes
30
What do scientists use to prepare a karyotype
Lymphocytes a white blood cell
31
How is the blood cell treated?
It's treated with a chemical that stimulates mitosis
32
Trisomy 21
Most common chromosome number abnormality
33
When is down syndrome more common
When the mother is older or above 40
34
Loss of all or part of a chromosome
Deletion
35
Extra copies of parts of a chromosome
Duplication
36
Reverse the direction of parts of the chromosomes
Inversion
37
Part of one chromosome breaks off and attaches to a different chromosome
Translocation
