also called piles, are swollen veins in your anus and lower rectum, similar to varicose veins.

A

Hemorrhoids

35
Q

the series of growth and development steps a cell undergoes between its “birth”—formation by the division of a mother cell—and reproduction—division to make two new daughter cells.

A

Cell Cycle

36
Q

Cell Cycle has 2 stages

A

Interphase & Cell Division

36
Q

The cell grows more, makes proteins and organelles, and begins to reorganize its contents in preparation for mitosis. G2 phase ends when mitosis begins.

A

Gap 2 (G2 Phase)

36
Q

The cell grows physically larger, copies organelles, and makes the molecular building blocks it will need in later steps.

A

G1 Phase ( Gap 1)

37
Q

the cell divides its copied DNA and cytoplasm to make two new cells.

A

Mitosis

37
Q

Another name for cell division

A

Mitosis

37
Q

The cell synthesizes a complete copy of the DNA in its nucleus. It also duplicates a microtubule organizing structure called the centrosome. The centrosomes help separate DNA during the M phase.

A

S Phase (Synthesis)

38
Q

M phase involves two distinct division-related processes

A

karyokinesis and cytokinesis.

39
Q

Mitosis takes place in four stages:

A

prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase

40
Q

sometimes also called prometaphase), the mitotic spindle begins to capture and organize the chromosomes.

A

Prophase (late)

41
Q

the cell starts to break down some structures and build others up, setting the stage for division of the chromosomes.

A

Prophase(early)

42
Q

The spindle has captured all the chromosomes and lined them up at the middle of the cell, ready to divide.

A

Metaphase

43
Q

The sister chromatids separate from each other and are pulled towards opposite ends of the cell.

A

Anaphase

44
Q

The cell is nearly done dividing, and it starts to re-establish its normal structures as cytokinesis (division of the cell contents) takes place.

A

Telophase

45
Q

he division of the cytoplasm to form two new cells, overlaps with the final stages of mitosis.

A

Cytokinesis

46
Q

Reduction Division

A

Meiosis

47
Q

Occurs in the testes in males

A

spermatogenesis

48
Q

Preceded by interphase which includes chromosome replication

A

Meiosis

49
Q

Occurs in the ovaries in females

A

oogenesis

50
Q

Produces gametes (eggs and sperm)

A

Meiosis

51
Q

the process of the formation of haploid sperms from a diploid stem cell known as spermatogonium.

A

Spermatogenesis

52
Q

Longest and most complex phase (90%).
Chromosomes condense. *

A

Prophase I

53
Q

Shortest Phase

A

Metaphase I

54
Q

Each pole now has a haploid (1n) set of chromosomes.

A

Telophase I

55
Q

Homologous chromosomes separate and move towards the poles.

A

Anaphase I

56
Q

Meiosis II :

A

Reduction Division

57
Q

No interphase II
No DNA replication
similar to mitosis

A

Meiosis II

58
Q

Same as Prophase in mitosis
- Nucleus & nucleolus disappear
- Chromosomes condense
- Spindle forms

A

Prophase II

59
Q

Same as metaphase in mitosis
- Chromosomes (not homologs) line up at equator

A

Metaphase II

60
Q

Same as anaphase in mitosis
- Sister Chromatids separate

A

Anaphase II

61
Q

Same as Telophase in mitosis.

A

Telophase II

62
Q

Involves one cell division

67
Q

Mendel conducted 2 main experiments to determine the laws of inheritance. These experiments were:

A

Monohybrid Cross Experiment
Dihybrid Cross Experiment

68
Q

a set of primary tenets relating to the transmission of hereditary characteristics from parent organisms to their children; it underlies much of genetics.

A

Mendelian Genetics

68
Q

cross involving a single trait (Ex: Flower Color)

A

Monohybrid cross

69
Q

cross involving two traits

A

Dihybrid Cross

69
Q

Paternal

A

Dad

70

Q

is a graphic tool used to determine the probability of the combinations of genotypes that the offspring can have with the use of the genotypes of their parents.

A

Punnet Square

71
Q

A

Punnet Square

71
Q

Branch of Biology concerned with the study of genes, variation, and heredity in organisms.

A

Genetics

72
Q

Capital Capital (ex: BB)

A

Homozygous Dominant

73
Q

Capital lowercase (Bb)

A

Heterozygous

74
Q

lowercase, lowercase (bb)

A

Recessive

75
Q

determined by genes; any characteristic that can be passed from parent to offspring.

A

Trait

76
Q

also called inheritance or biological inheritance, is the passing on of traits from parents to their offspring

A

Heredity

77
Q

The inherited characteristic depends on the gene pair. Parental genes are randomly separated from the sex cells so there will be one gene of the pair from each parent.

A

Law of Segregation

78
Q

This law is based on dihybrid crosses. The alleles for different traits are sorted and segregated during the formation of gametes.

A

Law of Independent Assortment

79
Q

An offspring that was developed from the crossbreeding of two parents, with each having true, different traits, will express the dominant trait.

A

Mendel’s Law of Dominance

80
Q

Why was Pea Plant selected for Mendel’s experiments?

A
  • The pea plant can be easily grown and maintained.
  • They are naturally self-pollinating but can also be cross-pollinated.
  • It is an annual plant, therefore, many generations can be studied within a short period of time.
  • It has several contrasting characters.
