|
|
homologous chromosome

|
|
Mitosis
|
duplicated chromosomes are separated from one another and nuclear membrane reforms
|
|
Cyrokinesis
|
cytoplasmic contents will be divided in half by formation of a new cell membrane
|
|
Mitosis
|
nuclear division, division of contents in nucleus.
|
|
Cyrokinesis
|
then cytoplasm is divided into two cells, each containing a full complement of organelles and DNA
|
|
karyotypes
|
is just a picture where homologous chromosomes can be lined up and analyzed.
|
|
diploid
|
(2n) has 2 sets of chromosomes, one from the father, one from the mother
|
|
Haploid number
|
Half the number of chromosomes than a diploid. humans sex cells are haploid cells
|
|
somatic cell
|
every somatic cell is diploid except sex cells
|
|
gametes
|
specialized reproductive cells that are haploid. each carries only one of each parents two homologous chromosomes.
|
|
diploid zygote
|
carries 2 copies of every gene and every chromosome
|
|
meiosis
|
a unique kind of cell division. involves one extra nuclear division = chromosome number reduced by half in gametes relative to somatic cells (46 to 23)
|
|
meiosis 1
|
end up with two daughter cells being pulled apart. germ cell is diploid and chromosomes start to pair up.
|
|
synapsis
|
occurs when the replicated homologous pair (only during meiosis)
|
|
meiosis 2
|
pulls the single duplicated chromosome into separate chromatids and we end with 4 haploid gametes. pulling apart sister chromatids, no longer homologous.
|
|
germ cells
|
gamete producing cells
|
|
cell cycle checkpoints
|
ensure that each stage of the cell cycle is completed accurately
|
|
apoptosis
|
is cell suicide, also is an integral part of normal development
|
|
cancer
|
a disease of unregulated cell division. cells divide inappropriately and accumulate, in quite a few cases form a tumor. cancer cells evade cell cycle checkpoints.
|
|
metastisis
|
the spread of cancer cells from one location in the body to another
|
|
angiogenesis
|
migration of cancer cells
|
|
chemotherapy
|
uses drugs to interfere with cells division to treat cancer. all cells are affected but more cancer cells die because they replicate much faster.
|
|
radiation therapy
|
high energy light therapy to kill dividing cells, severely damaging molecules and DNA to trigger apoptosis
|
|
P generation
|
the first generation or parents in a genetic cross
|
|
F1 generation
|
then offspring of the parents, the first of offspring in a genetic cross
|
|
F2
|
children of F1 and grandchildren of g
|
|
monohybrid cross
|
genetic cross in which the inheritance of one trait is observed. A monohybrid cross of two heterozygous individuals yields a 3:1 phenotypic ratio among offspring
|
|
Dihybrid cross
|
a genetics cross in which the inheritance of 3 traits is observed. more info
|
|
punnet square
|
shorthand method for predicting the outcomes of crosses
|
|
test cross
|
to determine the unknown genotype of an individual, we mate the unknown dominant to a homozygous recessive and examine the offspring in a test cross
|
|
carriers
|
individuals who are heterozygous for a gene of interest- can pass on the recessive allele without a genotype (no effect)
|
|
dominant alleles
|
disease have a higher probability of appearing in offspring (only need one copy) than disease due to recessive alleles
