Cell Cycle Flashcards
Exam 1
Checkpoint that monitors if the cell is ready for replication
G1 Checkpoint
Checkpoint that monitors for replication to be completed
G2 Checkpoint
Null Hypothesis
The difference of having progeny with ________ compared to ________ is due to chance
encodes a transcription factor that activates gene expression to determine maleness
SRY (sex determining region Y)
ratio of sex chromosomes to autosomal sets
genic balance
drosophila X:A = 1
female
drosophila X:A = 0.5
male
X:A < 0.5
metamale
drosophila X:A between 0.5-1
intersex
X:A > 1
metafemale
male is:
hemizygous (only one copy of gene)
Each individual has two alleles for a particular characteristic. These two alleles segregate when gametes are formed
Principle of Segregation
Alleles at different loci separate independently of one another
Principle of Independent Assortment
Reproduction in prokaryotes
Asexual, single circular chromosome, binary fission
asexual reproduction in Eukaryotes
parthegenesis
reproductive cell with only one copy or a haploid number (1N) of chromosomes
gamete
cell produced by the fusion of a maternal and paternal gamete, resulting in a diploid (2N) number of chromosomes
zygote
