BIO YAWA Flashcards
replication of cell’s genetic material
asexual reproduction
genetic make up from 2 parents
sexual reproduction
rise to nuclei that are genetically different from each other
meiosis
division of eukaryotic cell’s genetic info
mitosis
programmed cell death
apoptosis
consist of all cell’s genetic material
genome
enzyme adds new neuclotide complementary to bases
DNA polymerase
covalent bonds between adjacent DNA segments
ligase
change/error in DNA sequence
mutation
replicates and distributes DNA into 2 daughter cells
Binary fission
divides cytoplasm into 2 daughter cells
cytokinesis
DNA and associated proteins
chromatin
continuous molecule of DNA wrapped around protein
chromosome
attached copies of replicated chromosome
chromatid
where sister chromatids attach to each other
centromere
interval between successive cell divisions
interphase
cell grow and reproduce more molecules
gap periods
phase where DNA replicates
synthesis period
chromosome condenses and spindle forms
prophase
replicated chromosomes align along cell equator
metaphase
sister chromatids separate
anaphase
chromosome arrives at each other’s end
telophase
form from excess cell divisions
tumors
number of cytokinesis in meiosis
2
version of gene
allele
chromosome number in human gamete AFTER meiosis
23
chromosome 1-22 in human
homologous autosomes
chromosome 23 in human
gametes (germ cells)
trisomy 21
down syndrome
male gamete
XY
exchange of alleles
crossing over
one or more complete sets of chromosomes
polyploidy
functions to specify the recipes for all proteins in a cell
DNA
unwinds and unzips DNA
helicase
asezual rep. in bacteria/archaea
binary fission
failure pf chromosomes to seperate in meiosis
nondisjunction
more chromosomes throughout meiosis
spindle
homologous pairs of chromosomes align
prophase 1
line up in double file line at cells equator
metaphase 1
splitting apart after double file line
anaphase 1
chromosomes arrive at pole
telophase 1
condensing of chromosomes
prophase 2
line up in a single file line at cells equator
metaphase 2
