Mitosis |
Interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase Telophase |
|
Interphase |
Doing normal cell activity |
|
Prophase |
Nucleus and nucleolus break apart, chromatin material starts to condense to form chromosomes |
|
G1 phase |
Growth. Synthesis and other cell activities |
|
S- Synthesis |
DNA replication |
|
G2 phase |
More proteins produced as cell gets ready to divide |
|
Metaphase |
Double chromosomes, Line up at the equator of the cell each on their own spindle. |
|
Anaphase |
Double chromosomes are pulled apart. Go to opposite ends. |
|
Telophase |
Chromosomes reach the poles. 2 daughter nuclei form. Nucleus and nucleolus reform. Nuclei are identical. |
|
Cytokinesis |
Cytoplasm splits. 2 identical cells form |
|
Meiosis |
Forming of gametes (egg and sperm) |
|
Meiosis 1 stages |
Meiosis1, interphase, prophase 1, metaphase 1, anaphase 1, telophase 1, |
|
Prophase 1 |
Nuclear envelope disappears. Spindles form, chromatin material condensed |
|
Metaphase 1 |
Homologous chromosomes line up on the same spindle. 4 chromatids on each spindle. |
|
Anaphase 1 |
Homologous chromosomes are pulled to opposite ends |
|
Telophase 1 |
One of each pair of homologous chromosomes reach the poles. 2n->n . Ends with 2 haploid cells that are different |
|
Meiosis 2 |
Interkinesis between meiosis 1 and 2 |
|
Prophase 2 |
Nuclear envelope and nucleolus disappear. Spindles form. Chromatic form chromosomes. |
|
Metaphase 2 |
Double chromosomes line up on their own spindles. |
|
Anaphase 2 |
Sister chromatids separate. Chromosome move to opposite poles. |
|
Telophase 2 |
Daughter nuclei form 4 haploid nuclei. Cytokinesis. 4 haploid cells form- different. |
|
Centrioles |
Help make spindle fibers in cell division |
|
Spindles |
Protein structures |
|
Centromeres |
region of a chromosome to which the microtubules of the spindle attach |
|
Sister chromatids |
In a double chromosome, one side is called a chromatid, the other is the sister chromatid. |
|
Chromatin |
Material like DNA and RNA |
|
Crossing over |
The exchange if genes between homologous chromosomes |
|
Tetrad formation |
Two homologous chromosomes lining up next to each other during prophase 1 |
|
Synapsis |
The fusion of chromosome pairs at the beginning of meiosis |
|
Diploid |
2 complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent |
|
Haploid |
Single set of unpaired chromosomes |
|
Spermatogenesis |
Forming of sperm. 4 spermatids form and then mature and form 4 sperm cells |
|
Oogenesis |
Forming of eggs. Only 1 egg produced and 3 polar bodies |
|
Mitosis in plants and animals |
In plants- cell plates form Animals- cleavage furrows form |
|
How many chromosomes are found in somatic cells of humans? |
46 chromosomes organized into 23 pairs |
|
Mendels principles |
Principle of dominance Principle of segregation Principle of independent assortment |
|
Principle of dominance |
Characters are inherited in pairs and are controlled by factors- genes |
|
Principle of segregation |
The Gene's will separate before the gametes are produced |
|
The principle of independent assortment |
The characters on different chromosomes will randomly go into gametes |
|
Alleles |
Gene's that govern variations of the same feature located at the same location on homologous chromosomes |
|
Loci |
Location |
|
Homozygous |
The gene pair is the same- RR or rr |
|
Heterozygous |
The gene pair is different- Rr |
|
Genotype |
Pair of alleles an individual has |
|
Phenotype |
The outward appearance |
|
Linked genes |
Traits carried on genes |
|
Polygenetic inheritance |
Characteristics determined by an interaction of Gene's on several chromosomes or at several places on 1 chromosome. |
|
Pleiotrophy |
1 gene pair affects many traits. |
|
Recessive genotype |
individual must have two recessive alleles for the gene that determines this trait of interest. |
|
Barr bodies |
densely staining structure in the cell nuclei of female mammals, consisting of a condensed, inactive X chromosome. |
|
Sex influenced trait |
Traits that are inherited through autosomes, but expression of alleles at these loci can be altered or influenced by the sex of the animal. |
|
Picture of the chromosome |
Karyotype |
|
Used to track family characteristics |
Pedigree |
|
having a chromosome number that is more than double the basic or haploid number |
Polyploidy |
|
Chromosomes do not separate properly during anaphase 1 or anaphase 2 |
Nondisjunction |
|
Type of disorders caused by nondisjunction |
Down syndrome Edward's syndrome Patau syndrome |
|
Female XO Monosomy, with only 1 X chromosome. May have learning disabilities, sterile, do not develop secondary traits, no Barr bodies, 45 chromosomes |
Turners syndrome |
|

Translocation |
|
Can be controlled by diet. Person lacks an enzyme that converts the amino acid phenylalanine to another amino acid. It is an inborn error of metabolism |
PKU- mental retardation |
|
Result of abnormal lipid metabolism in the brain. A lysosomal enzyme is missing, which results in improper liquid metabolism in cells, particularly in the nervous system |
Tay-Sach |
|
Results from defective ion transport, due to an abnormal chloride transport protein. Mucus builds up in the respiratory system, pancreas, and reproductive organs |
