Q

Cyclins

A

Bind to cyclin-dependant kinases outside of the cell which tells the cell to duplicate (destroyed in an orderly fashion)

Q

Prophase

A

The chromosomes start condensing and the asters come out of the centrioles, nucleus dissolves and the centrioles move to the poles

Q

Metaphase

A

Chromosomes line up at the cell’s equator and the spindle fibers attach at the kinetochore region

Q

Telophase

A

The nuclear membranes reform and a cleavage furrow/cell plate forms, the nucleus reappears and the spindle fibers recede

Q

Density Dependant Inhibiton

A

The cell senses the amount of nutrients and waste in its environment to determine if it has the space to divide

Q

Cancer

A

No density-dependent inhibition so the cells don’t respond to “off” signals and replicate uncontrollably, they grow new veins to them in order to supply them with more nutrients

21
Q

Apoptosis

A

Cell suicide

22
Q

Benign Tumor

A

Does not spread but can create obstructions

23
Q

Malignant Tumor

A

They spread through the bloodstream and set up new tumors throughout the body

24
Q

Asexual Reproduction

A

Cells do miotic cell division to create offspring that are genetically identical

25
Q

Binary Fission

A

Asexual reproduction where the daughter cell is originally smaller but then grows to the original size

26
Q

Budding

A

The organism creates a mini version of itself on its side as a “bud” which will grow and can eventually detach (yeast, hydra, worms, sponges)

27
Q

Spore Formation/Sporulation

A

Spores are formed mitotically in large numbers (have hard shells) and are spread around and eventually grow into a multicellular organism (mold, moss, mushrooms)

28
Q

Regeneration

A

DOES NOT MAKE MORE OF ITS OWN KIND it is simply to replace body parts

29
Q

Bulbs

A

Natural vegetative reproduction, and underground stem with thick fleshy leaves

30
Q

Corms

A

Natural vegetative reproduction, similar to bulbs but with no fleshy leaves

31
Q

Tubers

A

Natural vegetative reproduction, large underground stem that has eyes that sprout new plants (potatoes)

32
Q

Runner

A

Natural vegetative reproduction, a horizontal growing stem above ground that develops into a new plant when covered by soil (strawberries)

33
Q

Rhizome

A

Natural vegetative reproduction, horizontal underground thick stem, has nodes that develop into stems and roots

34
Q

Cuttings

A

Artificial vegetative propagation, take a cutting and put it into hormone powder to grow a new plant

35
Q

Layering

A

Artificial vegetative propagation, bending a stem over and covering it with soil so that part grows a new plant

36
Q

Grafting

A

Artificial vegetative propagation, fusing two different plants together

37
Q

Advantages of Artificial Vegetative Propagation

A
  1. faster than growing from a seed
  2. seedless plants can be kept alive
  3. connect disease prone and disease resistant plant
38
Q

Somatic Cell

A

A cell that makes up part of your body (ex. skin cell)

39
Q

Parents Give the Children…

A

22 autosomes and one sex chromosome

40
Q

Homologous Chromosome

A

Chromosomes that gave the same type of genetic info (one from dad one from mom) (ex. brown eye color, blue eye color)

41
Q

Karyotype

A

A picture of chromosomes

42
Q

Diploid Cell

A

There is a mom and dad version of each chromosome 2n (most cells)

43
Q

Haploid Cell

A

Has mom OR dad version of each chromosome n (gametes only)

44
Q

Gametes

A

Sex cells (sperm/egg)

45
Q

Meiosis

A

process to make gametes

46
Q

Oogonium

A

Cell in ovaries that turn into eggs

47
Q

Spermatogonium

A

Cell in testies that turn into sperm

48
Q

Prophase 1

A

Same as normal prophase but there is also crossing over of the homologous pairs

49
Q

Anaphase 1

A

Homologous pairs separate

50
Q

Telophase 1

A

2 daughter cells formed (haploid)
