FL #9 Bio Flashcards
(23 cards)
primary site for gluconeogenesis
liver
primary glycogen storage organ
liver
triglycerides are composed of
fatty acids
fatty acids are broken down by
& through what process
the mitochondria & peroxisomes
beta-oxidation
fatty acids are synthesized in
then go to
the cytoplasm
then go to smooth ER
2 methods of passing genetic material according to Mendel
mitosis & meiosis
cytoskeletal elements in mitosis & meiosis
spindle apparatus
recombinant frequency of non-independent genes =
always <50%
to quantify a recombinant frequency, researchers must perform a
test-cross with a homozygous recessive individual
western blot detects
specific AA sequences
primary germ layers
ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm
endoderm forms
major organs and digestive tract
mesoderm forms
muscle, bone, most systems
ectoderm forms
skin, hair, eyes, nervous systems
gastrulation =
formation of the germ layers
(maternal vs paternal) mitochondrial DNA contribution =
maternal ONLY
(maternal vs paternal) chromosomal DNA contribution =
maternal & paternal EQUALLY
(maternal vs paternal) overall DNA contribution =
maternal & paternal UNEQUALLY
2 characteristics of mature red blood cells specialized for Hb transport
lack of nucleus
lack of mitochondria
hematopoietic stem cells display…
& use
…an indefinite replicative capacity as a result of their continuing ability to produce
& use telomerase
telomerase =
enzyme that adds nucleotides to telomeres (allows for continued replication)
hematopoietic stem cells reside in
bone marrow
spleen carries out
red blood cell production/breakdown
