18
Q

What happens in cytokinesis in plant cells ?

1

A

End plate ( cellulose forms)

19
Q

What’s meiosis ?

A

Reduction nuclear division which results in the formation of Gametes ( haploids)

20
Q

What is the importance of meiosis ?

A
  • genetic variation rises
  • this increases he chance for survival

Q

Where does meiosis occur ?

A

Gonads ( ovaries and testes)

22
Q

How does meiosis produce genetic variation ?
When ?
5

A

1- Crossing over P1

23
Q

Outline meiosis briefly ?

4

A

PMAT 1
Interphase
PMAT2
Cytokinesis

24

25
Q

When is the chromosome number halved in meiosis ?

A

Telophase 1

26
Q

What’s a stem cell ?

2

A

Undifferentiated cells which can undergo mitosis to produce specialised cells

27
Q

How does differentiation occur ?

4

A

1-some genes are switched off
2-others are expressed more
3-proportion if organelles changes
4-shape change and content change occurs

28

33
Q

Root hair cell adaptations ?

4

A
  • large SA
  • large vacuole
  • thin permeable walls
  • extra mitochondria = active transport
34
Q

Guard cells work ?

4

A

k+ active transported in
Lowers water potential

39
Q

How is cartilage formed ?

A

-chondroblasts secrete extracellular matrix

40
Q

How does Xylem form from meristematic tissue ?

3

A

  • end cell wall breaks down =continuous Column
41
Q

Uses for stem cells ?

4

A
  • bone marrow transplant
  • Drug Research
  • development in biology research
  • repair of damaged cells / replacement of lost tissue :

42
Q

How does yeast replicate ?

2

A
