25
Q

what is monosomy ?

A

the absence of one member of a pair of chromosomes

ex: if you child was born with only one X chromosome rather than 2 (XX or XY) your baby would have “monosomy X”

26
Q

what is trisomy?

A

the presence of an extra chromosome in some or all of the body’s cells

27
Q

what’s an allele?

A

the alternative form or versions of a gene

28
Q

What is the relationship between genes, proteins, and chromosomes?

A

all subcellular particles

29
Q

phenotype

A

the set of observable characteristics or traits of an organism

30
Q

genotype

A

the set of genes that it carries

31
Q

what is an inheritance pattern?

A

describe how genetic variants are distributed in families

32
Q

discrete vs continuous inheritance

A

Continuous may be something like height, which may vary in a population “continuously”, with no specific limitations.
“Discrete” could be choices or outcomes of a small limit of options - there are not gradations or “continuity” between the choices.

33
Q

incomplete/codominant/dominant inheritance

A

Incomplete- a dominant allele does not completely mask the effects of a recessive allele

codominant-two different versions of a gene are expressed, and each version makes a slightly different protein

dominant-a way a genetic trait or condition can be passed down from parent to child

34
Q

autosomal/sex-linked inheritance

A

Sex-linked inheritance is due to the transmission of sex genes in X and Y chromosomes.

autosomal inheritance is due to the transmission of genes in autosomes or non-sex determining chromosomes.

35
Q

when you breathe in what muscles contract? what happens to the lung volume?

A

diaphragm and external intercostals contract, expanding the chest.

the diaphragm flattens and lung volume increases

36
Q

when you breathe out what muscles contract? what happens to the lung volume?

A

abdominal and internal intercostals contract causing the lung volume to reduce

37
Q

4 stages of respiration

A
  1. ventilation
  2. external respiration
  3. internal respiration
  4. cellular respiration
38
Q

Describe three features of alveoli that maximize their function?

A

1.have a spherical shape to maximize surface area
2. they have tiny blood cells called capillaries
3. they have moist walls that help gas dissolve that help them pass through during gas exchange

39
Q

What are the two main requirements for gas exchange to occur in the respiratory system of an organism?

A
  1. respiratory surface area must be large enough to meet gas exchange requirements
  2. moist environment because oxygen and carbon dioxide are dissolved in water
40
Q

Why does the trachea have cartilage rings? Do they go all the way around? Why/why not?

A

to keep airways open
no, they don’t go all the way around they are “C” shaped because the trachea is too narrow
15 cm log and 2-3 cm in diameter

41
Q

What is the role of mucus in the respiratory system?

A

moistens, lubricates, and protects many of the passages of the digestive and respiratory tracts in the body

42
Q

What structure is shared between the respiratory and digestive system in the throat?

A

pharynx

43
Q

Is glucose the same thing as energy? Is it directly usable by cells? Explain.

A

glucose is our bodys main energy source
no cells cant directly use glucose because the cell might lose energy produced by the oxidizing glucose if all of the energy wasn’t needed immediately.

44
Q

function of the villi in the small intestine

A

absorb nutrients from the liquid mixture called chyme produced in the stomach from the food we eat

45
Q

function of the microvilli in the small intestine

A

absorb food passing through the small intestine and transfer the nutrients into the blood stream.

46
Q

What are two features of villi that make them well-suited to their function?

A

the folded villi greatly increase the surface area of the intestine
2. made of a single layer of thin cells (one cell thick) so there is a short diffusion path

47
Q

prokaryotic cells

A

-unicellular micro-organisms
-lack distinct nucleus
-lack membrane-bound organelles
-always bacteria
-simple and small
-reproduction is asexual

48
Q

eukaryotic cells

A

-multicellular organelles
-have nucleus
-have membrane-bound organelles
-larger & more complex
-plants/animals/fungi/protists
-never bacteria
-reproduction can be asexual or sexual

49
Q

Plant Vs. Animal Cells

A

Plant cells have a cell wall, animals don’t.

Plants have chloroplast, animals don’t.

Plants have one or more large vacuole, animals have multiple smaller ones.

55
Q

Animalia

A

eukaryotic
no cell wall
no chloroplast
mode of nutrition: heterotrophic
motile
multicellular

56
Q

autotrophic mode of nutrition

A

take in substances from outside and convert them into stored forms of energy

57
Q

heterotrophic mode of nutrition

A

where the organism is unable to prepare its food and hence, depends upon plants or other organisms for nutrition

58
Q

stages of the cell cycle

A

G1
S
G2
M

59
Q

G1

A

the cell grows physically and increases the volume of both protein and organelles

60
Q

S phase

A

the cell synthesizes a complete copy of the DNA in its nucleus

61
Q

G2

A

The Cell “double checks” the duplicated chromosomes for error, making any needed repair.

62
