The whole purpose of mitotic cell division was to...
make more cells
the cells that are made through the process of mitosis are not exacly the same as eachother - True or False
False
What phase of Mitosis comes after Metaphase?
Anaphase
The center piece between two cromatids...
-Called the Centromere
-Holds chromatids together
This occurs when you cut your finger and it heals.
Mitosis
Crossing over occurs during
Prophase I of Meiosis
Meiosis I, Prophase I
involves
Crossing over
Meiosis I, Anaphase I
involves
separation of homologous pairs
Meisis II, Anaphase II
involves
separation of chromatids
What is the point of crossing over?
to create diversity, new combinations of genes
By the end of Meiosis I...
Crossing over has occurred and separation of the homologous pairs has occurred
If a parent cell has 56 chormosomes, following mitosis each daughter cell will have _ chromosomes
56
-Mitosis makes identical cells
If a parent cell has 46 chromosomes and undergoes meiosis, wach daughter cell will have _ chromosomes
23
-Meiosis yields unique and different cells
Pleiotropy
when one gne has more than one effect
What types of bans are found between complementary bas pairs?
Hydrogen
How does DNA differ from RNA
-DNA is double stranded
-DNA has thyamine, RNA has uracil
-There is only one type of DNA
with 3 types of RNA
What are the three types of RNA
rRNA: ribosomal RNA, part of riosomes
mRNA: messenger RNA, transmits messages
tRNA: transfer RNA, carrier
Once you have made mRNA is it ready to be sent to the cytoplasm to make proteins?
NO - it has to go through the maturation process first
What is an intron
piece of DNA that doesn't code
What is an Exon
A gene that does code for protein product
The final step in gene expression is....
Tanslation
Where does a germ-line mutation take place?
in the gametes
-inherited
-ex. Tay Sachs
Somatic Mutations
occur after you're born
-not inherited
-caused by carcinogen
-in non-gametic cells
Point Mutations
Insert or delete one nucleotide
Frame Shift
Inser or delete a chain of nucleotides
Adenine attaches to...
Thyamine
Guanine attaches to...
Cytosine
The amount of _ relative to _ varies from species to species.
A to G
What are the phases of cell reproduction
Interphase
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
What happens during the prophase
chromosomes are condensed into sister chromatids
What happens during the metaphase?
The chromatids line up at the equator
what happens during the anaphase?
sister chromatids separate, spindle fibers shorten
What happens during the telephase?
chromatids condense to chromatin, nuclear envelope reforms and surrounds the chromatids, spindle fibers break down
Who was the father of genetics?
Gregor Mendel
P1 generation are the....
Parents
What are the two laws developed by Mendel?
Laws of segregation & Law of independent assortment
Unattached or attached earlobes - which is dominant
Unattached
3 parts to law of segregation
-different traits result from two genetic elements (alleles)
-the elements separate during egg/sperm formation
-earch sperm/egg gets only one element
A pair of sister chromatids are held together at the...
Centromere
If you wanted to block the action of the spindle apparatus, you would need something that interfered with the activity of which of the following items...
Microtubules
Cytokinesis in plant cells differs from the process in animal cells because in plant cells...
the golgi apparatus produces vesicles containing cellulose, that migrate along microtubules and fuse to become a cell plate.
When during mitosis do the chromosomes condense?
Prophase
M
Cell Division
G2
Synthesis of protein
G1
Organelles increase in number
Daughter cells produced by mitosis...
are genetically identical to the parent cell
G0
Metabolically active, but resting
S
duplication of DNA
