166
rough ER
has ribosomes attached to it. all secreted proteins pass through this. new proteins enter the interior (called lumen) to be chemically modified and tagged for delivery. proteins are transported to other locations in the cell.
167
intermediate filaments
part of cytoskeleton. very stable, tough, don't fall apart. anchor cell structure in place.
168
two copies of the homozygous allele (either dominant or recessive), it can only pass on 1 trait
true-breeding individual
169
composed of flattened sacs (cisternae) and membrane enclosed vesicles. vesicles with protein are budded off the ER and are fused here. proteins are modified further (like adding carbs/sugars to them). like the post office. proteins are received, modified, sent off. three regions. cis, trans and medial
golgi apparatus
170
phenotypes that appear much more often in males because women are XX and one X can "mask" the other X, while XY is hemizygous
X-linked recessive inheritance
172
replication fork
site where part of DNA unwinds to expose the bases. replication proceeds in 2 directions
173
secondary lysosome
when phagosome fuses with primary lysosome. hydrolysis occurs here which provides monomers for other cellular processes (recycled) and the undigested particles are released outside of the cell.
174
nuclear envelope
surrounds nucleus
175
primary lysosome
originates in Golgi and is a vesicle that buds off the Golgi. it contains digestive enzymes. where macromolecules are hydrolyzed into monomers
176
a parameter that describes the effects of the environment on the genotype. the degree to which genotype is expressed in an individual
Expressivity
177
nucleic acids
polymers of nucleotides that store, transmt and express hereditary/genetic info. two types: DNA and RNA
178
endomembrane system
includes nuclear envelope, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi and lysosomes. has vesicles that shuttle substances (likeproteins) between all of these organelles
179
monohybrids
crossing parental varieties with one trait that is different crossing two homozygous parents on one trait to get a heterozygous F1. this is a 2x2 Punnett square
180
surrounds nucleus
nuclear envelope
181
thylakoids
stacks in chloroplast, part of photosynthesis takes place here to make ATP
182
person has to have two bad copies (homozygous recessive) of the gene to have this. people usually have two unaffected parents. mating between relatives increases chances of producing a child with homozygous recessive disorder compared to mating with the general public because genes run through families. e.g. Sickle cell disease
autosomal recessive disorder / recessive inheritance
183
Transmembrane protein
An integral membrane protein that extends all the way through the phospholipid bilayer. it has hydrophilic side chains and allows subtances to move across the membrane
184
usually in plant cells. takes up majority of space in cell and fills up with water. stores wastes and toxic material which can deter animals from eating the plants (contributing to its defense/survival). pressure of water inside it helps support cell's structure. contributes to reproduction (petal pigments are contained here which attracts animals for pollination). contributes in catabolism (hydrolyzing seed proteins into monomers)
vacuoles
185
plasmodesmata
holes in cell wall for cells to communicate
186
an heterozygote with an intermediate (blended) phenotype, the offspring has a blended phenotype of its parents
incomplete dominane
187
hemizygous
males (XY) are this, only one copy of the X chromosome
188
stacks of thylakoid
granum
189
present in cell nucleus and in chromosomes, double in the cell cycle, twice as abundant in diploid, and the same pattern of transmission as the genetic information
DNA must be ___ to be genetic material
190
new strand of DNA. moves away from the fork. synthesis of this occurs in small, discontinuous stretches (called Okazaki fragments) until it runs into the previous fragment. needs primer for each fragment. has gaps that are "sewed up" by DNA ligase
lagging strand
191
DNA
polymer of nucleotides. stores and transmits genetic info. double stranded. strands run in opposite directions (antiparallel) and form a ladder that twists into a double helix. lacks OH group so it is more stable. one nucleotide is pentose sugar(deoxyribose), nitogenous base (A, T, G, C) and phosphate. phosphate and sugar are stable
192
cell membrane
all cells are surrounded by this. it's a phospholipid bilayer with proteins. it is a selectively permeable barrier (permits some substances to enter/leave cell while preventing others), communicates and binds with adjacent cells. hydrophobic interior formed by tails of phospholipids
193
peptide bonds
covalent bond links together amino acids to form protein. condensation reactions links amino group of the new amino acid chain with the carboxyl group of the amino acid at the end of the chain
194
the extracellular structure in plants. made of cellulose. supports cell (limits volume by staying rigid), barrier to infection and continues forming in growth and development
cell wall
