Diffrences Between Termz Flashcards
Asexual vs Sexual Reproduction
Asexual is when the cell uses its self while sexual takes 2 cells
Chromosomes vs chromatin
Chromosomes are DNA structures chromatids are identical halves of a duplicated Chromosome
Haploid vs diploid
Haploid has 23 chromosomes and a diploid has 46
G1 vs G2
G1 focuses on cell growth and preparation g2 checks that DNA replication is completed
Centromere vs kinetochore
The centromere joins chromatids and the kintochore binds spindle fibers
Homologous chromosomes vs sister chromatids
Homologous are similar but not identical, sister chromatids are identical copies of a single chromosome
Internal vs external regulators
Internal responses to cells conditions from inside and external responds to outside signals
Cyclins vs Cdks
Cyclins activate Cdks
Cdks drive the cell cycle
Benign vs malignant
Benign: non cancerous
Malignant: canerous
Radiation vs chemotherapy
Radiation: targets a specific area
Chemo: affects the whole body
Somatic vs sex cells
Somatic: body cells, diploid
Sex: gametes haploid
Synapis vs crossing over
Synpapsis: homologous chromosomes pairs up
Crossing over: exchange genetic material
Spermatogenesis vs oogenesis
Spermatogenesis: four sprem
Oogenesis: one egg
Autosomes vs sex chromosomes
Autosome: non sex chromosomes
Sex: determine sex
Monosomy vs trisomy
Monosomy: missing one chromosome
Trisomy: extra chromosome
Turner vs klinefelter syndrome
Turner: XO affects females
Klinefelter: XXY affects males
Catalyst vs enzyme
Catalyst: speeds up reactions
Enzyme: a biological catalyst
Activation energy
Minimum energy needed for a chemical reaction to start
Fatty acid vs amino acid
Fatty acids store energy while amino acids build proteins
Peptide vs polypeptide
Peptide is a short chain, a polypeptide is longer
Glycogen vs glycerol
Glycogen is a carb used for energy storage, glycerol is a component of lipids
DNA vs RNA
DNA: double strand stores genetic information
RNA: single strand helps in protein synthesis
mRNA tRNA
mRNA carries genetic information while tRNA helps assemble amino acids into proteinz
Purine vs pyrimidine
Purines have two rings, pyrimidines have one
DNA polymerase I vs DNA polymerase III
Polymerase I removes primers DNA polymerase III synthesizes DNA
Leading vs lagging strands
The leading strand is continuous the lagging is in fragments
Initiator vs terminTor
Initiator starts transcription, while the terminator signals it’s end
Intron vs exon
Introns are non coding regions, exons are coding regions
Coding vs anticodon
Codon is on mRNA an anticodon is tRNA
