Resolution |
Ability to see something inversely related to the wavelength of light/electrons is used |
|
Cell cycle |
1. Interphase G1, S, G2 2. Mitotic phase |
|
Circled DNA vs. Linear |
Bacterial= circular Eukaryotic= linear |
|
Nuclear envelope |
Double membrane structure Perforated by nuclear pore complexes -regulate trafficking and signaling |
|
Endomembrane system includes |
Nuclear envelope, ER, Golgi, Lysomomes, plasma membrane |
|
Functions of endomembrane system |
1. Protein synthesis and transport 2. Lipid metabolism and transport 3. Detoxification of poisons and drugs |
|
Smooth ER |
Does not contain ribosomes Functions: lipid synthesis, drug detoxification, calcium storage |
|
Rough ER |
Has ribosomes Functions: -Proteins 1. Synthesis 2. Folding 3. Glycosylation -Vesicular transport |
|
Golgi |
Comprised of cisternae Two faces: cis (recieving) trans (shipping) VESICLES |
|
Function of Golgi |
Protein: modification, storage, sorting Carbohydrate Synthesis |
|
What is a Lysomome |
Membranous sac of hydrolytic enzymes produced by the ER and modified by Golgi |
|
Lysomome function |
Break down damaged organelles If not.... TaySachs disease |
|
Types of vacuoles |
Food, contractile, central |
|
Mitochondria characteristics |
Double membrane Inner membrane= cristae Intermembrane space then Mitochondrial Matrix= inside inner membrane |

1. Cell shape 2. Organelle support 3. Cell motility 4. Vesicular transport |
|
Microtubules |
Made up of tublin dimers (Largest and longest) Organize movement |
|
Microfilments |
Made of actin (smallest and shortest) Movement of contraction |
|
Intermediate filaments |
Various things like keratin -resistance |
|
Chloroplasts |
Double membrane Key features: thylakoids, granum Intermembrane= smooth |
|
Law of segregation |
50% chance of getting either allele |

Law of Independent Assortment |
2 chromosomes> 4 distinct gametes 25% chance |
|
Law of Independent Assortment |
Dihybrid cross (RRYY) x (rryy) |
