Biology 1 Flashcards
Tetrads line up SINGLE-FILE at metaphase plate
Metaphase of Mitosis
Key word: “Single File”
What are the 3 main functions of PEROXISOMES?
- Self-replicate
- Detoxify chemicals
- Participate in lipid METABOLISM
- along with mitochondria
- Mitosis
- Telophase
Telophase
- is indicated by:
- the nuclear membranes beginning to reform and
- the chromosomes unwinding
- Formation of the NUCLEOLUS
Many diagrams will also show the beginning of cytokinesis

What are Heterotrophs?
- UNABLE to fix CO2 (like autotrophs can)
Therefore, heterotrophs must INGEST organic molecules (such as carbohydrates) as their carbon source
DNA replication
- Describe DNA ligase
Creates the LAST necessary PHOSPHODIESTER bond to the downstream neighbor

thus creating a COMPLETED strand! Yayyy!!!
What is the Endosymbiotic Theory?
- suggests mitochondria evolved from aerobic PROkaryotes
- …that were engulfed by an ancient EUKaryotic cell (common ancestor)
Causes of DNA Damage
- Mismatched Base pairs result from (2)?
HINT: One of the 2 causes results from a specific thing happening to a specific NT…
- Give an example of this happening (with actual BP’s, not a real-life example)
Results from:
- Errors during replication, or
- Methylation of guanine
ex: one form of methylated guanine pairs with thymine INSTEAD of cytosine…whoopsy daisy
DNA replication: sliding clamp
protein that keeps DNA poly tightly bound to strand
How does reproduction work in Prokaryotes (Bacteria)?
- How does the distribution of DNA work?
Bacteria reproduce via binary fission
NO mitosis OR meiosis!
Distribution of extrachromosomal DNA (aka plasmids) is RANDOM
- Daughter cells may or may not receive a copy
What is PINOCYTOSIS?

invagination of:
- extracellular fluid
- very small particles
occurs in ALL cells
How does mRNA interact with DNA?
is the complementary RNA strand
…COPIED FROM the DNA template strand
Define: Actin
a protein monomer that polymerizes to form MICROFILAMENTS
How many layers must you go through to get from outside of the cell to the nucleus?
6 total
- 2 for cell membrane
- 2 for outer nuclear membrane
- 2 for inner nuclear membrane
Fungi have cell ___ made of ___
cell walls made of chitin
What are Integral proteins?
- What is its opposite?
Proteins that have one or more segments embedded within each phospholipid bilayer
- opposite=surface/peripheral proteins
Chromosomes generally _____in size, with ______ being by far the largest
generally DECREASE in size, with chromosome One being by far the largest
The Cytoskeleton consists of?
- Microtubules
- Intermediate Filaments (IMF’s)
- Microfilaments
If 90 out of every 1,000 individuals in a population have a RECESSIVE phenotype (tt)
- what % of pop is TT, Tt, and tt?
(Solve using HW equations)
- 90/1000=.09 √.09=.3
- therefore q=.3
- since p+q=1
- p = .72
- pg=2(.3)(.7)=.42
- p2=(.7)2=.49
- therefore, 49% of pop have genotype TT
- 42% are Tt
- 9% are tt
70% of alleles are p and 30% of alleles are q
In gene regulation, regulatory molecules are often what 3 things?
Regulatory molecules are often:
- Hormones
- Upstream products of rxn or cascade that is catalyzed by gene product
- Byproducts that build up when the [] of the gene product is low
How many protofilaments surrounding a hollow core make up a microtubule?
13

What are Adherens junctions?
STRONG, MECHANICAL
attachments b/t cells

- Meiosis I
- Interphase I
Post-translational modification:
- usually occurs at?
- what are some common modifications?
- Occurs at:
- ER and the Golgi
Includes ADDITION of:
- polysaccharides
- lipids, or
- phosphates
Compare anaphase for meiosis I & mitosis
MITOSIS:
- SINGLE CHROMATIDS are pulled to opposite ends of cell
MEIOSIS I:
- TETRADS are pulled to opposite ends of cell
