Q

Gametes

A

Specialized cells with only half the number of chromosomes from the parent cell

23
Q

G-C

A

Guanine and Cytosine

24
Gene linkage
Two genes on the came chromosomes
25
Haploid
When only one member of each cell is present
26
Genes
Instructions carried by DNA
27
DNA replication
Unzipping the molecule in half and then copying both sides to make 2 equal double Helixs
28
Karyotype
Highly magnified photo of chromosomes arranged in pairs
29
Malignant
Cancerous
30
Metastasis
Break away and start new cancers at distant locations
31
Mitosis
Cell division that occurs in somatic cells and makes exact genetic copies of the parent cell
32
Biopsy
Removed of cells tissue or fluid that will be analyzed and determined if cancerous
33
Monosomy
The absence of a chromosome of a homologous pair
34
Oncogenes
Cancerous cells
35
Proto oncogenes
Genes that encode the proteins regulating the cell cycle
36
Nucleotides
Basic building blocks of NUCLEIC acids
37
S
DNA is copied
38
Sex cells
X and Y chromosomes
39
Multiple hit model
Process of cancer development
40
Telomerase
Enzyme that prevents the degradation of chromosomes
41
Telophase
Nuclear envelopes reform and chromatin to chromosomes
42
Trisomy
The presence of an extra chromosome
43
Tumor
Odd cell growth
44
Tumor suppressor
Genes that produce proteins that stop cell division of conditions are not favorable
45
Factors that increase cancer risk
``` Tobacco use Bad diet Lack of exercise Obesity Access alcohol consumption Increasing age ```
46
Mitosis
Asexual division that produces daughter nuclei that is an exact copy of the parent nuclei
47
Prophase
Chromosomes to chromatin Micro tubules form and grow Nuclear membrane disappears Centrioles move to poles
48
Metaphase
Chromatin lines up in the middle
49
Anaphase
Centromere splits and pull chromatin to poles
50
Telophase
Nuclear membrane reforms | Chromatin to chromosomes
