CRAM WHATEVER Flashcards
Meiosis I
Prophase: Nuclear Envelope dissolves, chromatin condenses to form chromosomes, homologous pairs match up, crossing over occurs, Metaphase I: Independant assortment, homologus pairs align side by side, Anaphase: Homologus chromosomes pulled to opposite ends of cell, Telophase: Nuclei reform on opposite sides of the cell
Meiosis II
Prophase II: Centrioles are replicated moved to opposite poles nuclear envelope dissolves, Metaphase II: Chromosomes lined up along metaphase plate, Anaphase II: Sister Chromatids are seperated and moved to opposite poles, Telophase: nuclei reform on opposite sides of cell
How does Down Syndrome occur
errors in meiosis, non-disjunction event is the cause, it is failure of chromosomes or Sister chromatids to seperate during meiosis.
Mendel’s theory of heredity
Each physical trait is coded by heritable unit called a gene, each gene is inherited as two versions called alleles one from mom and one from dad
Genotype
The genotype is an organism’s genetic information, genotype dictates phenotype
Phenotype
Phenotype is the set of observable physical traits, genotype determines phenotype
Metabolism
The chemical processes inside a cell or organism that are necessary for the maintenence of life. Substances are broken down and/or synthesized
Catabolic Vs Anabolic pathways
Catabolic breaks apart, anabolic builds larger molecules from smaller ones.
Endergonic vs Exergonic
Endergonic requires energy to perform, exergonic release energy
Kinetic vs Potential
Kinetic energy is energy of motion , potential energy is built up that once released will have powerful impact/movement
Describe the ATP molecule
Adenosine Triphosphate, adenosine + ribose and three phosphates bonded. One bond is high energy bond, ATP is used by breaking off the phosphate with the high energy bond
ATP functions/what it’s used for
Cell Movement, Active Transport, Muscle Movement, Enzyme Activation/Catalyzing Chemical Reactions, Food Digestion,
Chemical Formula Cellular Respiration
C6H12o6 + 6o2 ->ATP–> 6Co2 + 6H2O + ATP. Glucose oxidized, O2 is reduced.
Photosynthesis
6Co2 + H2O + ATP –> C6H12o6 + 6o2
Glycolosis produces
2 NADH, 4 ATP, two 3 Carbon Pyruvates, Co2
