|
Protein Structure
|
1. Primary: chain of amino acids
2. Secondary: alpha helix. Charges from amino acids form H-bonds 3. Tertiary: helix folds more to create 3-D shape. DETERMINES FXN! 4. Quaternary: found in some proteins, 3* bonded to another |

|
Meiosis
|
Division of the nucleus (diploid chromosomes divided into hapliod)
|
|
Haploid
|
1/2 of chromosomes (n=23 in humans)
|
|
Diploid
|
1 set of homologous pair of chromosomes (2n=46 in humans)
|
|

|
Fusion of two haploid (gamete) cells to form a zygote
|
|
Phases of Meiosis
|
1. Prophase I
2. Metaphase ! 3. Anaphase I 4. Telophase I 5. repeat |
|
Prophase I
|
Chromatin condenses into chromosomes
Nuclear envelope and nucleoli disappear Chromosomes pair w/ homologous pair and undergo crossing over |
|
When does crossing over occur?
|
Prophase I
|
|
Metaphase I
|
Spindle fibers from
Chromosomes line up in pairs (independent assortment) |
|
When does independent assortment occur?
|
Metaphase I
|
|
Anaphase I
|
Spindle fibers pull chromosome pairs apart
|
|
Telophase I
|
Spindles disappear
Chromosomes unwind Envelope appears |
|
Synapsis
|
Pairing of homologous pairs
|
|
Allele
|
alternate forms of a gene for one trait
|
|
locus
|
gene's location on chromosome
|
|
Law of Unit Characters
|
Inherited traits are controlled by genes that occur in pairs (no blending theory)
|
|
Law of Dominance
|
One trait may be dominate and mask the other
|
|
Law of Segregation
|
Genes separate during sexual resulting in 1 gene from each parent. Zygote will have 1 from each.
|
|
Law of Independent Assortment
|
Genes are inherited independently of one another
|
|
What is the purpose of respiration?
|
To break down sugars into chemical energy in ATP
|
|
The equation for aerobic respiration
|
C6H12O6 +6O2 +36 ADP + 36Pi = 6CO2 +6 H2O +36 ATP + heat
|
|
Equation for Anaerobic Respiration
|
C6H12O6 + 2ADP + 2Pi = 2C2H5OH +2CO2 +2ATP + heat
|
|
What are the steps of Cellular Respiration?
|
1. Glycolysis. Glucose into pyruvate in cytoplasm. ATP is released
2. Krebs Cycle. Pyruvate enters mitochondria matrix and continues to break down. ATP is released. 3. Electron Transport Chain. Electrons enter mitochondria cristae. Attaches to O, which attracts to H, making H2O. ATP is released |
|
What is the equation for Photosynthesis?
|
6 CO2 + 12 H2O = C6H12O6 + 6 O2 + 6 H20
