What is the life cycle of the cell?

A cell spends most of it's life in Interphase; this is when it is growing and developing. The other part of the cycle is spent in the mitotic phase; this is where it divides and new cells are formed.

What is binary fission?

A form of asexual reproduction in which the parent divides into two approximately equal parts

What is transduction?

A form of gene exchange by infection with a bacteriophage

What are autosomes?

Any chromosome that is not a sex chromosome

What are microfilaments?

Associated with cell membrane, they are dynamic structures. double helix of actin

At the end of meiosis I, the ploidy is _____.

Cut in half.

What is the material of a chromatin?

DNA and proteins.

What happens in prophase I?

Each replicated chromosome pairs with its corresponding homologous chromosome forming a tetrad. During tetrad formation, alleles can be exchanged between chromatids, a process called crossing-over.

What happens in anaphase I?

Homologous chromosomes separate

What is the G0 phase?

If the cell does not receive the go ahead for G1, it goes to G0 where it does not replicate. It is not dead though, just not dividing.

What happens in Meiosis I?

In meiosis I homologous chromosomes pair up, and each pair separates, producing two haploid cells with their sister chromatids still joined.

What is the difference between meiosis and mitosis?

Mitosis produces 2 daughter cells which are genetically identical to the parent cell. Each daughter cell is diploid (contains the normal number of chromosomes). This is the result of DNA replication and 1 cell division. ... Meiosis is used to produce gametes (sperm and egg cells), the cells of sexual reproduction.

What is the primary source of genetic variation?

Mutation

What is the haploid number?

N (23)

What is oogenesis?

Process by which ova are produced by the female.

A chromosome has _______ and ______.

Proteins and DNA

What are growth factors?

Proteins released by other cells that stimulate cells to divide.

When does DNA replication occur?

S phase of interphase

Every single pair of homologous chromosomes aligns _________.

independently

What is nondisjunction and when does it occur?

it's failure of my homologous chromosomes to separate during anaphase one of meiosis, it can result in gametes with odd numbers of chromosome orders, also non disjunction can affect any number of your chromosomes.

What is a euchromatin?

less condensed, transcriptionally active, sterically accessible form of DNA --EUchromatin is TRUly transcribed.--

What kind of DNA do eukaryotes have?

Does nondisjunction in meiosis I or meiosis II have more total abnormal gametes?

Can a heterochromatin be be transcribed?

no

Do centromeres split in Meiosis I?

no

Do neurons divide?

no

Does crossing over occur in prokaryotes?

no

What happens in telophase of mitosis?

nucleoplasm pinches off, chromosomes migrate to opposite sides of the cell, a nuclear envelope forms around each chromosome, nucleolous shows up, completely pinch off and you have two separate nucleus

What is a ploidy?

number of sets of chromosomes in a cell

How many nuclear divisions in mitosis?

one set of chromosomes

Does crossing over occur in mitosis or meiosis?

only in meiosis

What are homologous chromosomes?

paired chromosomes with genes for the same traits arranged in the same order

What is transformation?

process in which one strain of bacteria is changed by a gene or genes from another strain of bacteria

What is spermatogenesis?

production of sperm

What is apoptosis?

programmed cell death

What is a kinetochore?

protein structure on chromatids where the spindle fibers attach during cell division to pull sister chromatids apart

What are some ways organisms reproduce asexually?

regeneration, budding, cutting/cloning

What happens in Anaphase II?

sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles

What divides in mitosis?

somatic cells

What happens in meiosis II

splitting of sister chromosomes

1n

What is the ploidy of primary oocyte?

2n

What is the diploid number?

What is Trisomy 21 (Down Syndrome)?

3 chromosomes on #21 most common cause of mental impairment, increases in likelihood w/ maternal age

What happens in metaphase I?

tetrads line up at metaphase plate

What does the reproductive behavior of cells (whether to divide or not) result from?

the interactions among many different molecules

What happens during genetic variation?

the loci changes and codes for different DNA sequences

What is a chromatin?

the material of which the chromosomes of organisms other than bacteria (i.e., eukaryotes) are composed. It consists of protein, RNA, and DNA.

What is anchorage dependence?

the need for cells to be in contact with a solid surface to divide

What is a karyotype?

the number and visual appearance of the chromosomes in the cell nuclei of an organism or species.

What is a locus?

the precise location of a gene on a chromosome

Why do haploid organisms have mutations?

to get new alleles

What is conjugation?

transfer of DNA between bacteria using a pilus

How many nuclear divisions occur in meiosis?

What is a sister chromatid?

two identical chromatids.

What is the structure of a chromosome?

What does sexual reproduction produce?

unique combination of genes
