How does genetic information get passed down from generation to generation
|
Mitosis meiosis through dna reproductive cells conjugation bridges and adaptations
|
|
What is the value of variety
|
Harder to spread diseases everyone is unique in their own way and a genetic disorder doesn't have to affect everyone
|
|
dna is what
|
Deoxy ribonucleic acid can be seen in different forms
|
|
Chromatin
|
String like form of dna
|
|
Chromatid
|
Half of a chromosome and contains all dna necessary for that chromosome
|
|
Chromosome
|
X shape nr2 identical chromatid joined together by a centromere
|
|
Gene
|
A specific part or sequence of dna that codes for a particular trait example hair colour eye colour blood type e.t.c
|
|
loci
|
Location of a gene
|
|
Asexual reproduction
|
Copies and clowns and producing offspring genetically identical to parent and mostunicellular organisms reproduce asexually
|
|
Budding
|
new organism from a growth on the body of an organism
|
|
Fragmentation
|
Are part of an organism brakes off and continues growing independently
|
|
Mitosis
|
Eukaryotic cells divide equally into two new nuclear
|
|
Cytokinesis
|
The rest of the cell divides its natural organs amongst the two new cells
|
|
Interphase
|
When a cell grows repairs itself and prepares to divide and once the cell cell gets a signal to divide the dna make a copy of itself inside the nucleus
|
|
Prophase
|
Chromatin shortens and thickens into chromosomes. Centrioles migrate to opposite poles and spindle fibres attached to the centromere chromosomes . And the nuclear membrane dissolves
|
|
Metaphase
|
Spindle fibres move and align chromosomes a long the equator of the cell
|
|
Anaphase
|
Centromere divide and sister chromatids move to opposite poles of the cell
|
|
Telophase
|
Chromatic kids have reached the opposite poles. Chromatids unravel into chromatin and spindle fibres dissolve
|
|
Cloning
|
The process affirming identical offspring from a single cell or tissue
|
|
Biotechnology
|
Use and modification of organisms for applications in engineering industry and medicine
|
|
Gametes
|
a sex cell inhumans is a sperm and egg half the genetic material than a somatic cell
|
|
Somatic
|
Any other cell in your body except sex cells
|
|
Zygote
|
Fertilised gamete when a sperm meets egg
|
|
Haploid
|
Half the genetic material 23 chromosomes in humans
|
|
Diploid
|
Full set of dna 46 chromosomes
|
|
Meiosis
|
The process of producing gametes 2 cycles to complete meiosis1 and meiosis 2
|
|
homologous chromosomes
|
Same location matching pairs of chromosomes similar in size and carrying the same genes
|
|
meiosis1
|
End result will be two cells with half the number of chromosomes and a separation of homologous chromosomes
|
|
Prophase 1
|
Chromatin shortens and thickens forming chromosomes. homologous chromosomes form a tetrad, nuclear membrane dissolves, and spindle fibres start to form
|
|
Metaphase 1
|
Spindle fibres attach to chromosomes temple tetrad to the equator as pairs
|
|
Anaphase 1
|
homologous chromosomes separate to different poles by spindle fibres. They are not, ted's there still chromosomes
|
|
Telophase between meiosis 1 and meiosis 2
|
Spindle fibres disintegrate a nuclear membrane reforms. Chromosomes and rolanda, 10 and cytokinesis occurs in a cell pinches and cytoplasmic organelles are divided
|
|
Prophase 2
|
Chromatin shortens and lengthens nuclear membrane dissolves and Centrioles migrate to poles and spindle fibres begin to form
|
|
metaphase 2
|
Chromosomes are pulled to equator by spindle fibres attached to centromere
|
|
Anaphase 2
|
Centromeres split pulling sister chromatids to opposite poles
|
|
Telophase 2
|
Nuclear membrane reforms around each step of chromatin spindle fibres disintegrate and chromatid unravel into chromatin
|
|
Tresomy
|
a chromosomeal abnormality with 3 homologous chromosomes instead of the typical pair
|
|
Monomy
|
a chromosomal abnormality with a single chromosome instead of a typical pair
|
|
non disjunction
|
The failure of homologous chromosomes to separate and proceed to up support during cell division and the result is that one cell has too many chromosomes in one cell has to few n both results pose problems for the offspring
|
|
Atypical meiosis
|
A cell division does not always a car properly sometimes the chromosomes do not divide evenly into the forming cells nso marcel the damage is minimal but the cell is replaced by other property sales in a sec southend the damage is profound because each cell in the new organism will have the incorrect number of chromosomes
|
|
Karyotype
|
Chromosomes of an individual that have been sorted and arranged according to size and type
|
|
autosome
|
Non sex chromosomes
|
|
Gametogenesis
|
The formation of sex cells
|
|
Difference between sperm and ovum
|
sperm, male gametes produced in the testis have negligible amount of cytoplasm and nucleus is compact built for speed. Ovum, female gamete produced in the ovary have bulky cytoplasm and a centrally located nucleus produced singly
|
