Q

What solvent is used in paper chromatography, and how does it work?

A

Non-polor solvent
Involves two phases (one mobile phase and one stationary phase).

Add substance to stationary phase and then allow mobile phase to run through it. Things attracted to stationary phase will stay and things attracted to the mobile phase will move with it.

Q

Do plants carry out photosynthesis only during the day? Explain your answer. Do plants carry out cellular respiration only at night? Explain your answer

A

true, during day because thats when light is available to be converted to energy. 2 - False, need energy all the time

Q

Identify and be familiar with the cleavage furrow and the cell plate. Explain why cleavage furrowing is a suitable mechanism for cytokinesis for animal cells but not plant cells Explain why.

A

telophase, plants have cell walls and cellulose is too tough and centrioles and cleavage furrow in animals only; plants have cell plate when going through cytokinesis

Q

Define diploid, haploid, homologous chromosomes.

A

diploid - 2n, homologous pairs. haploid - n, no pair,same length, shape and genes, one from each parent

18
Q

What is synapsis? What is crossing over? What does it result in?

A

synapsis - homologous pairs coming together. crossing over - swap equal amount of genetic material (chromatids). results in genetic recombination

19
Q

Define allele, genotype, phenotype, heterozygous and homozygous.

A

gene that governs characteristic, The entire genetic makeup of an organism, An organisms appearance or another detectable characteristic, an organism that has two different alleles for a trait, An individual that has identical alleles for a trait on both homologous chromosomes.

20
Q

Be able to do both a monhybrid & dihybrid cross. What is the expected phenotypic ratio of a both crosses?

A

3:1, 9:3:3:1

21
Q

Where are autosomal characteristics carried? Where are sex-linked traits carried?

A

chromosomes 1-22, position 23

22
Q

How are X-linked traits inherited differently in males and females? Be able to do the crosses.

A

They differ in size and appearance,Females can be carriers, males cannot.

23
Q

Be able to recognize incomplete dominance and codominance.

A

where there is only one color, one allele does not completely dominate another allele, and therefore results in a new phenotype

24
Q

How can you tell the sex of an individual in a normal karyotype? What are the chromosome abnormalities that are associated with Turner syndrome?

A

23rd position, larger is X, smaller is y

X{X}

25

What chromosome abnormality is associated with Down syndrome? Be able to recognize these karyotypes.

A

trisomy/nondisfunctional 21 95% of the time

Q

Know what a pedigree is and be able to determine patterns of inheritance.

A

a family tree of genetics

27
Q

Define replication, transcription, translation, and gel electrophoresis.

A

DNA makes an identical copy of itself,DNA makes complementary copy of itself into mRNA,
Codones on mRNA are translated into polypeptides, Separates molecules based on size and charge

28
Q

What are the 3 parts that make up a nucleotide of DNA?

A

dioxyribose & phosphate (sides), nitrogenous bases (rungs)

29
Q

In DNA, which parts make up the ladder sides and which part make up the ladder rungs?

A

Q

What is a codon? What is its function? What organelle is associated with translation?

32
Q

What is gel electrophoresis used for? Upon what basis does it separate molecules? In gel electrophoresis, what makes molecules migrate?

A

used to separate DNA fragments (or other macromolecules, such as RNA and proteins) based on their size and charge.t separates molecules on the basis of charge, size, and shape.
