Reproductive cells in animals and plants.
Gametes
One parent gives rise to offspring while passing copies of all its genes making clone.
Asexual Reproduction
Two parents give rise to offspring resulting in mix of genetic makeup. Variation is the result
Sexual Reproduction
Cell not involved in gamete formation. Contains 46 chromosomes.
Human Somatic Cell
Chromosomes with same size and gene location
homologous chromosomes
Any cell with two sets of chromosomes.(2n)
Diploid cell
Gametes with a single set of chromosomes.
Haploid cell
The Union of two gametes, culminating in the fusion of their nuclei.
Fertilization
The fertilized egg
Zygote
Reduction of the number of sets of chromosomes in a gamete.
Meiosis
Type of reproduction that has both diploid and haploid multicellular stages
"some plant and algae"
Alternation of Generation
Multicellular diploid stage in alternation of generation.
Sporophyte
Meiosis of the diploid sporophyte produces haploid cells called
Spores
Spore in alternation of generations divide mitotically to produce multicellular stage called
Gametophyte
One division forming two diploid daughter cells.
Mitosis
Two divisions forming four haploid introduces variation.
Meiosis
Joining of chromosomes in meiosis

X shaped connections of chromosomes "proteins called Cohesins"
synapsis

Mass extinction between Mesozioc and Cenozoic era.
Cretaceous Extinction
Mass extinction between Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras
Permian extinction
When reproductive stages accelerate compared to other organs a species may retain their juvenile features.
Paedomorphisis
Genes that determine where something will be placed on the organism
Homeotic gene
Bacteria cell walls are made of
peptidoglycan
Simpler cell walls with more peptidoglycan
Gram Positive
bacteria with complex cell walls and less peptidoglycan
Gram Negative
Genes that determine where something will be placed on the organism
Homeotic gene
Bacteria cell walls are made of
peptidoglycan
Simpler cell walls with more peptidoglycan

bacteria with complex cell walls and less peptidoglycan
Gram Negative
Hair like appendage that is used for cell adhesion
Fimbriae
Movement towards or away from an environment stimuli
Taxis
Small rings of separately replicating DNA found in some prokaryotes
Plasmids
Prokaryotes can reproduce quickly in favored environments because they reproduce by
Binary Fission
When nutrients are lacking some bacteria produce a copy of its RNA and remove all water from the copy in an attempt to survive. This is called a
Endospore
Prokaryotic cells are altered by the uptake of of foreign DNA
Transformation
Prokaryotic cells are altered by bacteriophages.
Transduction
Photosynthetic organisms that use light to drive organic compound ATP synthesis
Photoautotrophs
Organisms that oxidize inorganic compounds inorder to drive organic compound ATP synthesis
Chemoautotrophs
Harness energy from lights but must use organic compounds for ATP synthesis
Photoheterotroph
Must consume organic molecules in order to produce ATP.
Chemoheterotrophs
Organisms that use oxygen for cellular respiration
Obligate aerobes
Organisms poisoned by oxygen, usually use fermentation to produce ATP.
Anaerobic obligate
Use oxygen if available, but also use fermentation.
facilitated anaerobes
Some cyanobacteria convery atmospheric Nitrogen into ammonia. This process is called
Nitrogen Fixation
Groups of cells that have metabolic cooperation.
Biofilm
Parasite bacteria that can only live in animal cells. No peptidoglycan and causes STDs
