Ch.3 Cells Flashcards
process that separates the chromosomes in the nucleus of a germ cell, resulting in the production of 4 genetically different haploid nuclei
meiosis
meiosis goes through ______ twice
PMAT
in meiosis, the new nuclei have ___ chromosomes and are ___________ genetically
23; differently
3 processes that only occur in meiosis:
Synapsis, Crossing Over, Skipping replication
nuclear membrane and nucleolus disintegrate
prophase I (meiosis)
centrioles with spindle fibers move to poles
prophase I (meiosis)
chromatin turns into chromosome form (homologous chromosomes XX)
prophase I (meiosis)
synapsis occurs (XX) then crossing over happens
prophase I (meiosis)
Levels of organization in the human body:
Atoms,molecules,macromolecules,organelles,cell,tissue,organs,organ systems,organisms
Characteristics of life:
growth, reproduction, responsiveness, movement, metabolism, respiration, digestion, circulation, excretion
Five Environmental Requirements of an Organism
water, heat, pressure, oxygen, food
2 body cavities
dorsal & ventral
dorsal includes:
cranial and vertebral
organs in cranial:
cerebrum, cerebellum, pituitary gland, hypothalamus, medula oblongata
organs in vertebral:
spinal cord
ventral cavity includes:
thoracic, abominable, pelvic
organs in thoracic:
lungs, heart, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli, esophagus, thymus gland
organs in abdominal:

the 3 membranes
pericardial, pleural, peritoneal
types of membranes
Paerietal- outer membranes covering all organs in 360, attached to wall
Visceral- cover individual internal organs
