Q

After meiosis 1, why is meiosis 2 needed?

A

We just separated homologous chromosome pairs, but now we need to separate each arm of the chromosome, so that it has half the amount of genetic info.

33
Synapsed
Paired together
34
What is the difference between plant and animal cells
Animal cell: has centrioles and asters, CM pinches in during telophase Plant cell: no centrioles or asters, cell plate forms between two new nuclear areas during telophase

40
Self pollination
take pollen from male flower and dust it on to the female part of a flower of the same plant
41
Cross pollination
take the pollen from the male flower of one plant and dust in on to a female part of a flower on a different plant
42
Parental generation
P1
43
Monohybrid cross
a cross between one pair of contrasting alleles (pundit square has 4 offspring)
44
Dihybrid cross
a cross between 2 pairs of contrasting alleles (pundit square has 16 offspring)
45
Contrasting alleles
two different possibilities
46
Genotype
the actual genes after two alleles are crossed
47
Phenotype
how something looks after two alleles are crossed
48
Haploid
Cells with a single set of chromosomes
49
Diploid
a cell with two sets of homologous chromosomes
50
How do meiosis and mitosis differ in regards to types of reproduction
Mitosis can be a form of asexual reproduction, whereas meiosis is an early step in sexual reproduction
51
How do meiosis and mitosis differ in regards to the actual processes
They also differ in the way chromosomes move and the number of cell divisions
52
How do meiosis and mitosis differ in regards to the chromosomes in the daughter cell
In mitosis each daughter cell receives a complete diploid set of chromosomes. In meiosis, homologous chromosomes are separated, and each daughter cell receives only a haploid set of chromosomes.
53
How do meiosis and mitosis differ in regards to the number of daughter cells, and their genetic similarity.
Mitosis results in the production of two genetically identical diploid cells, whearas meiosis produces four genetically different haploid cells.
54
Synapsis
the pairing of two chromosomes that occurs during meiosis
55
Incomplete dominance
when a dominant allele doesn't completely mask the effects of a recessive allele, so the organism shows a blending of both alleles
55
multiple alleles
more than 2 alleles in the population for that trait
56
Codominance
two alleles are expressed equally and produce traits of both
57
Polygenic traits
more than one gene contributes to the phenotype
58
Chromatin
genetic material of a cell that does not divide
59
Centromere
the region on a chromosome to where sister chromatids attach
60
Sister chromatid
one arm of a replicated chromosome
61
Kinetochore region
an area on a centromere to which a kinetochore fiber will attach
62
Principle of independent assortment
genes for different traits can segregate independently during the formation of gametes
63
What structures are found in the nucleus?
Chromosomes
64
What are located on chromosomes
Genes
65
What are chromosomes composed of
DNA wound around proteins
66
How do genes and chromosomes control the activity of the cell.
By producing proteins that regulate cellular functions or become part of the cell structure.
67
Why are DNA strands said to be complimentary?
Because each strand can be used to make the other strand.
68
Base pairing
The way each strand of the DNA double helix has all the information needed to reconstruct the other half.
69
How does DNA separate to prepare for DNA replication?
DNA molecule unwinds and separates into 2 strands. DNA helicase unwinds the DNA. DNA polymerase unzips the DNA.
70
How does DNA replicate?
Templates are made. DNA polymerase molecules move along the Templates, attaching complimentary base pairs and forming the sugar phosphate backbone.
71
What is each new DNA molecule composed of.
One new strand and one old strand.
72
How does DNA polymerase catch errors in DNA replication?
It proofreads the new strands as they are being created to catch errors.
73
What are genes
Coded DNA instructions that control the productions of protein within the cell.

Separates the 2 strands of DNA and then uses one of the separated strands as a template to make RNA.
79
What does transcription require?
The enzyme RNA polymerase.
80
Translation
How RNA makes protein.
81
What are the 2 steps of translation
initiation and elongation.

86
Deletion
A type of mutation where a base is removed
87
What might chromosomal mutations involve
changes in the number of chromsomes Changes in the structure of chromosomes Changes in the location of genes on chromosomes Changes in the number of copies of some genes
88
Duplication
A segment of the chromosome is repeated
89
Inversion
when a part of the chromosome becomes oriented in the reverse of its usual direction
90
Translocation
When part of one chromosome breaks off and attaches to another chromosome.
91
Endocytosis
taking material into the cell by having it be packaged into a vesicle
92
Exocytosis
Moving material out of the cell by having it be packaged into a vesicle
93
What makes extra cells produced not cancerous
If extra cells produced behave like the other cells in their area, they aren't cancerous
94
What makes extra cells produced cancerous
If they do not behave like the other cells in their area
95

A matches with U
108
