Bio Lab Exam Flashcards
Alternative Hypothesis example
Suzy hypothesizes that plants watered with club soda with grow faster than plants watered with regular water
I’m going to win more than $1000
Null hypothesis example
There is no statistical significant relationship between the type of water I feed the flowers and growth of the flowers
I am going to win up to $1000
Variable
Any factor that might affect outcome of the experiment
Independent variable
The experimenter manipulates this
Age
Dependant variable
Experiments observes effects of the independent variable on the dependant variable
Height
Control
Specimen under normal conditions
Trees getting H2O opposed to soda water
Repeatable
Can allow for procedure to be done again and attain similar results
5 stage of mitosis
Interphase Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telephase
Interphase
Cells increase in mass
Cell organelles are duplicated (mitochondria, ribosomes, ER)
DNA duplicated: consists of two sister chromarids and considered one DNA
Mitosis prophase
Chromosomes condense and become visible
Spindle apparatus begins to form
Mitosis metaphase
Chromosomes align themselves in a line called a metaphase plate
Mitosis anaphase
Sister chromatids spit and travel towards separate ends
Each chromatid is seen as a full chromosome
Mitosis telephase
Chromosomes arrive at different ends
New nuclear membranes are formed round chromosomes
Cytokinesis or cell division begins
8 phases of meiosis
Prophase 1 Metaphase 1 Anaphase 1 Telophase 1 Prophase 2 Metaphase 2 Anaphase 2 Telophase 2
Prophase 1
Chromosomes condense and become visible
Nuclear membrane and nucleolus disappear
Homologous chromosomes align; called synapsis
Cross over and exchange of material between homologous pairs
Metaphase 1
Chromosomes and their homologues align themselves in a line
Called metaphase plate
Anaphase 1
Homologous pairs seperate and travel to their ends
Telophase 1
Chromosomes arrive at ends
Spindle apparatus dissembles
New nuclear membrane may form
Cytokinesis or cell division may begin
Prophase 2
Nuclear membrane and nucleolus may disappear
Spindle appararus begins to form
Metaphase 2
Chromosomes align themselves at Center on metaphase plate
Anaphase 2
Sister chromatids spilt and travel to opposite ends
CELLS BECOME HAPLOID
Telophase 2
Chrimosomes arrive at ends now
Spindle apppartus begins to dissemble
New nuclear membraned are formed and chromosomes uncoil
CELLS HAPLOID
Binary fission
Process when bacteria or prokaryotic replicates their DNA
Recessive trait
Can be carried in a persons genes without appearing in that person
A blonde hair person having a black hair gene but not having black hair
Dominant trait
Inherited characteristic that appears in an offspring if it is contributed from a parent through a dominant Allele
Dominant vs recessive genes
A dominant allele is always seen
A recessive gene is not always scene but still in its genetics
Pedigree
A diagram that shows the occurrence and appearance of particular genes from generation to generation
Dominant gene in pedigree
Shows in every generation
