Phenotype
Trait expressed
Different forms of a gene
Alleles
Law of Segregation
Traits are expressed froma apir of genes in the individual
Law of Dominance
One gene usually expresses itself over th eother.
Law of Independent Assortment
-dihybrid cross experiments
-most genes independent of one another, but some aren't!
-since homologous chromosomes separate and independely sort in gamete formation, alleles are also separated and indepdently sorted--> not always true
Incompletele Dominance
ex. White Flower + Red Flower= Pink Flower, neither white nor red is dominant over the other
Multiple alleles
Human blood- ex. IaIa and Iaio
Exception to Independent Assortment
-metaphase of meiosis I, hen homologous chromosomes line up along the center of the dividing cell
Sex-linked traits
More males develop the trait because they only have one X (hemophilia and colorblindness)
Ecosystem
group of populations found wihtin a given locality, plus the inanimate environment around those populations
Population
Total number of a single species of organism found in a given ecosystem

veins
deoxygenated
Nitrogen fixing
process of combining N with H or O, by nitrogen-fixing bacteria or lightning. --> form NH4+ ions
nitrification
breaks down ammonia into nitrites
Evolution of Plants
Scientists conclude that in the evolution of life (including plants) the first cells were prokaryotic, and that eukaryotic cells developed as cells with varying functions were incorporated into more complex cells (the Endosymbiont Theory). In addition the early Earth atmosphere was void of oxygen, so early cells were anaerobic, with aerobic cells evolving later. Cyanobacteria are autotrophic (photosynthetic) prokaryotes that are considered ancestors of multicellular plants.

LIPIDS
ORGANIC COMPOUDS COMPOSED OF C, H, AND O
LIPIDS ARE ...
HYDROPHOBIC
ex. phospholipids, moisture wbarriers,
acid
donates protons (H+)
Law of Thermodynamics
1. Matter can neither be created nor destroyed.
2. All reactions spread energy, which tends to diminish availability- increasing disorder (entropy)

Bacteria
Eukaryotes
Plant, fungi, animal cells, protozoa
Centrioles
tubes constructed of a gemoetrical arrangement of microtubules in a pinwheel shape

-polysaccharide composeof many joined flucose units
-short-term storage molecule for energy
-found in muscle and liver tissue
cellulose

starch
polysaccharides
Instinct
highly stereotyped innate behavior
Immunity to defend the body from infection
tonsil, lymph nodes, spleen, thymus
Endothermic
energy storing
Exothermic
Energy releasing
Amino acids are connected into chains by a water-releasing
dehydration reaction that forms peptide bonds
enzymes
special proteins that act as catalysts for reactions
erythrocyte
red blood cells
Production of Fat
glycerol+3 fatty acids=fat (triglyceride) + water
ribosomes
site of protein synthesis within the cell
microtubules, microfilaments, centrioles
cytoskeleton of a cell
ER
delivery of lipids and proteins to certains areas within the cytoplasm (sort of cellular highway)
Golgi Apparatus
storing, packaging,and shipping of proteins
Lysosomes
membrane-bound organelles containing digestive enzymes, digest unused material within the cell
Mitochondria
Centers of cellular respiration (the process of breaking up covalent bonds within sugar molecules and release of ATP)
mucleus
surrounded by two lipid bilayers
choloroplast
site of photosynthesis
Body of the choloroplast
Stroma
Stroma in stacked, disk-like plates
grana
central vacoule
tonoplast is the name of the membrane
Pigments
are found within the grana
Translation
Translation begins as a ribosome attaches to the mRNA strand at a particular codon known as the start codon.
Passive Trasnport
substances freely pass across the membrane without the cell expending any energy
Facilitated Diffusion
Does not required added energy, but it cannot occur without th ehelp of specialized proteins
Active transport
requiring energy output from the cell
Diffusion
PASSIVE TRANSPORT- process whereby molecules and ions flow through the cell memebrance from an area of higher concentration to one of a lower
Osmosis
PASSIVE TRANSPORT- high to low
isomotic/isotonic
water concentration is equal inside and outside
First phase of meiosis
The first phase of meiosis is known as reduction, which reduces the ploidy from 2N to N (diploid to haploid)
lymphocyte
type of white blood cell in the vertebrate immune system, B cells and T cells
Air Passageway
Before reaching the glottis (the opening that allows gases to pass into the bronchi), air passes through the pharynx and into the trachea. The larynx is the upper portion of the trachea; the glottis is the lower portion of the trachea.
Chorion
innermost surface of the shell, outermost membrane surrounding embryo
Within Chorion..
Amnion, a fluid-filled sac enclosing the embryo
Allantois
third week develops, becomes part of the umbilical cord, blood vessels to function to exchange gases and nutrients between the embryo and the mother
Yok Sac Membrane
Also forms from the developing digestive tract and also becomes part of the umbilical cord, stores nutrients for the embryo
