  • Front
  • Back
Mouth
Where the digestion of carbohydrates begin
Peristalsis
Propulsion of food through the gastrointestinal tract
Villi and micro villi
Cause surface area in the small intestine to increase
Artificially acquired active immunity
Immunity produced by a vaccine
Cytokines
Are released by damaged cells to draw out white blood cells
Fever
Enhances destruction of pathogens
Fertility rate
The average number of children a women will have durning childbearing years
Less developed countries
Fertility rates are highest
Crude birth rate and crude death rate
Defined by the number of births and deaths per 1,000 people per year
Taxonomy hierarchy in order
Domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species
Natural selection
Survival of the fittest
Genes
Stretches of DNA on a chromosome that make an organisms characteristics
Alleles
Name of all the different forms of genes produced by a mutation
Mutations
Changes in DNA that affect how the gene functions
Nucleic acids
Store and transmit hereditary info
Pentose
Type of sugar
Phosphate group
A molecule in the backbone of DNA And RNA that links adjoining bases together
Nitrogen base
Molecule found in DNA and RNA that encodes genetic info
5 types of nitrogen bases
Adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine, and uracil
Found in both DNA and RNA
Adenine, cytosine, guanine
Found only in DNA
Thymine
Found only in RNA
Uracil
RNA is the messenger between.
DNA and protein production
Prokaryotic
Type of cell that can function independently of other cells there DNA is located in the nucleoid
Cell wall
Separates the inside and the outside of a cell
Cytoplasm
Gel like fluid that houses organelles
Nucleoid
Condensed DNA of a cell
Plasmids
Circular portions of DNA not associated with nucleoid
Ribosomes
Manufactures proteins for cells from RNA
Flagella
Long and whip like and project outward from the cell
Mitochondria
Site of atp production in cells
Cytoplasm
Is present in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells
Eukaryotic
DNA is found in the nucleus
Central dogma of biology
States that DNA gives rise to RNA which gives rise to protein
Chromosomes
Large structures of DNA that create genes
Cellular differentiation occurs in
Embryo and adult
Embryo
Early stages of a plant or animal after fertilization
Mitosis
Process of cell duplication
Interphase of a cell consist of
S phase G1 and G2
How is DNA double helix released to allow replication
Enzymes initiate the unwinding of DNA and release two complimentary strands of that DNA so DNA polymerase enzymes can duplicate them
Gametes
Cells that form a new organism via sexual reproduction
Meiosis
Process by which gametes reduce there DNA
Diploid cells
Cells that contain toe sets of chromosomes
Haploid cells
Cells containing only one chromosome
Homologous
Cells found in diploid cells that are twins
Mitosis prophase
The spindle fibers form and the centrioles moves to opposite sides of the cell. Nuclear membrane disappears
Mitosis metaphase
The chromosome align midway along the spindle fibers
Mitosis anaphase
The chromosome begins to separate from their daughters. Cytokinesis begins
Mitosis telophase
Identical sets of chromosome are at opposite ends of the cell. Spindle fibers disappear, nuclear membranes reappear, and cytokinesis completes
Meiosis prophase1
Homologous chromosome condense and link in the process-forming tetrads. This allows crossing over or recombination to occur
Meiosis metaphase1
Homologous chromosomes move to the metaphase plate
Meiosis anaphase1
Homologous chromosomes separate, but the sister chromatids stay together
Meiosis telophase1
Cytokinesis has occurred and two haploid daughter cells are the result
Meiosis prophase 2
A brief stage in which spindle fibers begin to reappear and centrioles move to opposite poles
Meiosis metaphase 2
Sister chromatids align at a new metaphase plate
Meiosis anaphase 2
Sister chromatids separate
Meiosis telophase 2
Four haploid cells result after cytokinesis
During meiosis what happens to a diploid cell
Gives rise to 4 haploid cells
Photosynthesis
Process by which the energy from sunlight is trapped by chlorophyll and used for synthesis of glucose
Chloroplast
Organelle in plants that allows photosynthesis to occur
Proteins are responsible for
Expression of genetic traits
Genome
Complete set of DNA that make up a persons genes
DNA polymerase
Major enzyme responsible for DNA replication in cells
Phenotypes
Physical expression of genetic traits
Genotype
The organisms underlying genetic makeup and code
Punnett square
