1
Q

How did Mendel carry out crosses between different variety of peas

A

he grew pea plants until he got true breeding then cross breed parental to get F1 and cross between F1 to get F2 by use of self-fertilization and cross-fertilization.

28
Metaphase
1. all 46 chromosome line up at plate/equator 2. 2 microtubules attached to centromere
29
anaphase
sister chromatid gets pulled apart
30

31
cytokinesis
cytoplasm pinch off to form two diploid
32
what are the three check point
1. G1 make sure cell ready to undergo mitosis 2. G2 chromosome synthesize correctly 3. metaphase make sure each centromere has two microtubule attached to them
33
how does cancer form
cell goes uncheck and divide continuously without stopping immune does not catch it get it by anything that damage our cells UV light, injury, infection, smoking, burns
34
two type of cancer cell
benign and malignant
35
cell immortality
cancer cell refused to stop dividing
36
purpose of meiosis
sexual reproduction
37
normal cells/tissue cells
somatic
38
sex cells
gamete
39
binary fission
bacterial cell (prokaryotic) division asexual reproduction; copy themselves exactly
40
human life cycle
make gamete from meiosis; sperm and egg come together to make a zygote then zygote undergoes billion of mitosis until sexual maturity then meiosis begin again
41
why does sexual reproduction evolve
good source of variation in population, more variation means likely to adapt due to environment change
42
karyotype
picture of chromosomes matched up in order from largest to smallest and numbered from 1-23 done during mitosis when DNA is condensed and look like an X
43
autosome
normal chromosome somatic 44 reg +2 sex gamete 22 reg +1 sex
44
haploid
1 copy of each (1N or 23 chrom)
45
diploid
2 copies (2N or 46 chrom)
46
difference between mitosis and meiosis
meiosis you go through 2 rounds of cell division
47
prophase 1
crossing over and synapses
48
metaphase 1
2 rows of homologous chrom. form 2 lines of 23 at equator instead of 1 line of 46
49
anaphase 1
homologous chrom separate
50
telophase 1
same as mitosis, 1 nuclear envelope formed around the homologous chromosome
51
PMAT 2
same as mitosis except 2 cells going through the division
52
synapses
pairing of chromosome; mom chrom match up with dad chrom
53
crossing over
exchange info
54
chiasmata
site of crossing over
55
germ cells
made after meiosis NOT considered sperm and egg has to develop into a gamete germ cell and gamete are not the same
56
explain inheritance of allele at the ABO locus and how it determines ABO blood type
each parent donates one of their two ABO alleles to child. ABO determine by the presence or absence of antigens.
57
how did mendel's observations and principles differ from the concept of blending inheritance?
phenotype reappear in later generation meaning it's still there and only masked making it a recessive trait
58
mendel's principal of assortment explain result of dihybrid cross assuming no linkage
one of mom with each one of dad and one of dad with each one of mom. all possible outcome in the gamete
59
biological process underline the pattern explained by principle of segregation and independent assortment
independent assortment -mom on top or dad on top principal of segregation separate mom from dad
60
phenytype and genotype of dihybrid cross
9-3-3-1 dominant/dominant dominant/recessive recessive/dominant recessive/recessive
61
autosome
normal chromosome 44 autosome +2 sex chromosome
62
how would the result of a dihybrid cross differ if two autosomal gene exhibit complete linkage
equal proportion for all four
63
how testcross reveal the effect of linkage
more look like mom and dad and gene likely on same chromosome
64
how can you determine if the experimental data from dihybrid cross is consistant with the principal of independent assortment
punnett square
65
how do you calculate chi-square test statistic
find the difference between the observed and the expected value
66
how do you determine the degree of freedom in a genetic cross
the number of phenotype (n) - 1
67
in chi square analysis, what is meant by p=0.9?
the probability that 90% chance of being completely random and not due to anything in experiment
68
explain XX-XY determination
XX is female and XY is male
69
how is dosage compensation achieved in species with XX-XY determination
female has 2-X chromosome which mean she has twice as many protein as male. to compensate x is inactivated
70
what are sex link characteristics
features controlled by genes on x chromosome
71
how does random x inactivation explain the inheritance of a patchy distribution of coat color on tortoiseshell cats
coat color is x linked
72
what are the standard symbol used in pedigree
square is male; circle is female
73
autosomal recessive
traits skips a generation
74
autosomal dominant
every generation has the trait
75
x linked recessive
female carrier passed to male
76
x-linked dominant
both male and female can have traits of affected mom
77
y linked traits
only son received from dad
78
stage of DNA replication
1. helicase open helix, 2. DNA separate 3. primer of template strand 4. assembly of new DNA segment
79
what are the key enzyme and protein required for each stage of DNA replication of E. coli
DNA helicase, RNA primase, DNA polymerase, DNA ligase
80
what are common characteristics of E. coli DNA polymerases?
copy damage DNA
81
in E. Coli which DNA polymerase removes and replace primer
polymerase I
82
Why is primer requires to initiate DNA replication
polymerase can only attached new DNA to existing nucleotide
83
compare and contrast leading strand and lagging stand
leading -continuous work 3-5 lagging - discontinuous work 5-3
84
main stage of transcription
initiation, elongation, and termination
85
what is the orientation and sequence of transcribed RNA molecule relative to DNA template strand? DNA coding strand
template strand 5' to 3' coding strand is 3' to 5'
86
how does gene organization differ in prokaryotes versus eukaryote
prokaryote occur in cytoplasm eukaryote in nucleus
87
the type of post-transcriptional modification occur in the processing of pre-mRNA in eukaryotes? what are the functions of thes post-transcriptional modification
5' capping - protect from being broken poly A tail- increase mRNA stability splicing - remove unnecessary segment
88
what events are required to initiate translation
when small ribosome subunit binds with mRNA and start codon is recognize
89
what event are required in the elongation stage of translation
movement of 3 nucleotides along ribosome-coupled mRNA, and amino acid bound to tRNA is added on by peptide bond
90
how is the appropriation amino acid delivered to the site of translation
tRNA bring amino acid and join it the complimentary codon
91
what is meant by codon and anti-codon
codon 3 nucleotides on mRNA anti-codon 3 nucleotides on tRNA
92
what are stop codon and how do they function
sequence of 3 nucleotides in DNA or RNA that stop protein synthesis
93
what are the necessary equipment needed for agarose gel electrophoresis
DNA Restriction Enzyme Gel buffer power supply
94
role of buffer and the agarose gel in electrophoresis
buffer conduct electric field, gel separate DNA fragment
95
how does DNA fragment of different size separate by electrical current
smaller travel faster and longer distance, while larger travel slower and shorter distance
96
how is size of DNA fragment estimated in a agarose gel electrophoresis
marker DNA
