H- Division And Differentiation In Human Cells Flashcards
Germline stem cells divide 2 times during meiosis explain the 2 stages
1) separation of homologous chromosomes
2) separation of chromotides
Name a ethical consideration that might have influenced the decision to use embryonic stem cells
Embryos are destroyed to get stem cells
Destruction of embryos
Germline when they divide from mitosis they come out as
Diplod
Germline when they divide from mitosis they come out as
Diplod
Germline when they divide from meiosis they come out as
Haploid
The role of stem cells?
Develop into any other type of cell
Describe what differentiation is
Genes are switched on cells become specialised
Why do red blood cells contain haemoglobin after differentiation but white blood cells don’t
The gene for haemoglobin is switched on in the red blood cell but not switched on in the white blood cells
Compounds of dna also rna?
Phosphate group
Deoxyribose suger
Base
Phosphate group
Ribose suger
Base
Antiparallel?
Strands run in opposite directions
Where are hydrogen bonds located?
Between bases
Requirements for dna replication
Atp
Enzyme
Primer
DNA template
Free DNA nucleotides
Process of polymerase chain reaction
PCR
DNA heat at 92⁰c and 98⁰c spectate the strands
Cooled between 50⁰c and 65⁰c allows primers to bind to target DNA
Heated 70⁰c and 80⁰c for heat tolerant DNA polymerase to replicate region of DNA
Practical uses for PRC
Helps to solve crimes and diagnosis genetic disorders
