Q

electron transport chain process (CR)

A
  • electrons transported out of NADH to become NAD+
  • electrons go through series of pumps, progressively reducing in energy level
  • output from each pump through the inner mitochondrial membrane is H+ (proton)
  • O2 pulls electrons down the chain and is the terminal electron acceptor (end of the transfer chain byproduct is H20)
  • ATP synthase is where bulk of ATP is produced by spinning to convert pump output (H+) into energy

Q

translation process

A
  • ribosome travels down the mRNA chain until it reaches the start codon, then lays down the first amino acid
  • after Met, ribosome will read next codon (triplet base) and lay down corresponding amino acid

meiosis I basics

A

homologous pairs separate; one diploid cell becomes two genetically different haploid cells

78
Q

prophase I process

A
  • homologous chromosomes pair up (now a tetrad or bivalent, a group of four chromatids, or two pairs) and swap DNA so they are no longer identical
  • chromosome groups start to move toward center
  • nuclear envelope disintegrate
79

A

pairs of homologous chromosomes split up (chromatids remain attached) and migrate to poles

heterozygous

A

different allele occurring at a given locus

90
Q

locus

A

a specific location of a gene along the chromosome

91
Q

Mendel’s contributions

A
  • genes are material elements (chromosomes)
  • genes come in pairs (homologous chromosomes)
  • elements can retain character through generations (at times expressed or not)
  • gene pairs separate when forming gametes (meiosis)

  • short time between generations
  • simple, with two characteristics (either/or)
  • easy to care for
93
Q

characteristics of monohybrid cross

A
  • start with true bred parent (P) for specific trait, bred for several generations to weed out alternates
  • two P plants produce hybrid plants
  • F1 generation receives 50% chance of each trait, but dominant wins out, so all in F1 generation display dominant trait
  • F2 generation is 3:1 (¾ dominant, ¼ recessive)
