1-2 Flashcards
What does ADN stand for?
Acide désoxyribonucléique
What’s the shape of chromosomes?
x shape
How many different chomosomes are there?
46 total, 23 pairs
How many chromatides are there?
92
Chromasome pairs are classified by what other than genetic material?
taille
Why are most chromatide pairs “the same?”
Because all chromatides (other than sexual ones) have the same genetic material (one from mother, one from father) and are even roughly the same size.
What’s the difference between genetic chromosomes and most others?
Others have the exact same genetic material (ADN), while the two genetic chromatides have different genetic material.
Where are the two chromatides connected together to form a chomosome?
The centromère
Why are chromosomes in paires?
One is from the mom and one is from the dad, and they kinda merged together to be the same but also seperate.
Caryotype
A list of the appearance of all the chromosomes of a species, including their sizes, numbers, and shapes.
Obviously differs from species to species.
What is the # of chromosomes in a species based off of?
Nothing at all.
Breifly describe the chemical structure of a nucléotide.
Sugar on the outside, connected to phosphate, which is connected to the base azoté.
What is a nucléotide?
Half of a ‘rung’ of the ladder of ADN
A,T,C,G are all examples of a base _____
base azoté
When are chromosomes present in a cell?
When it is preparing to duplicate.
