Q

How is Genetic Variation Produced?

A

Independent Assortment of Bivalent in Metaphase I so homologous chromosnes have Different Alleles which produces a Larger n. of Allele Combinations

Mutations change the nucleotide sequence

**Crossing over ** of Chiasma at Prophase I so Chromatids have *new combonation * of alleles –> amount of variation depends on distance between crossover points

Random Fertilisation thus gametes are not genetically identical so it produces larger n. of allele combinations

Q

What is special in anaphase I

A

Whole chromosone with different allele combinations are pulled appart to opposite poles of cell thus each cell contains genetically different chromosones

Q

Why must genetic material of a cell replicate

Q

What occurs in Prophase

A

Chromosones condense
Spindle fibres form

16
Q

What is totipotency

A

Stems cells that can differentiate into any cell found in embryo

17
Q

What is pluripotency

A

Comes from emberyos and can turn into almost any type of cell but not cells that make up the placenta

18
Q

What is Multipotentcy

A

Cells w/ limited potential to develop into many types—> ADULT STEM CELL

19
Q

What are adaptations of erythocrytes

A

Bioconcave shape which increases SA over which O2 can be absorbed

No nucleus thus can store more space

Large SA:V Ratio

Flexible –> Squeeze through capillaries

20
Q

What are adaptations of neurophils

A

**Flexible shape **to squeeze through cell junctions

21
Q

What are adaptations of sperm cells

A

Nucleus w/ half n. of chromosones
Acrosome in head containing digestive enzymes which break down outer layer of egg cell
Tail rotates –> propelling sperm cell foeard and allowing it to move towards egg cell

22
Q

What are adaptations of Root Hair cells

A

Increases SA thus uptake by osmosis is greater

23
Q

What are adaptations of cilliated epithillium

A

Contain cillia which *beat in rhythm to move mucus

24
Q

What are adaptations of guard cells

A

THICKER inner cell wall
THINNER outer cell wall
which allows cell to bend whilst turgid

25
Q

State the phases in cell cycle and what they are (G1 G2 S M)

A

S –> Cell replication
M –> Mitosis
G1 _> Cell checks chemicals nned for replication present
G2–> Checks whether all dna replicated

26
Q

What is a stem cell

A

Undifferentiated type of cell which differentiates into all other cell types

27
Q

What occurs during interphase

A

Genetic material copied
Organelles Replicated
DNA checked for errors
Protein synthesis

28
Q

What is the similarities and difference between Prophase I in Mitosis and Meiosis

A

Sim –> Chromosones condense and consists of 2 sister chromatids
Nuclear envolope breaks down & Spindle fibres form
————————————————–
Differences (IN MEIOSIS)
Homologous chromosones form and form a bivalent
Crossing over occurs in chiamsa in prohase I
In prophase II –> Cells are genetically different
