A
  1. Light dependent 2. Light independent
21
Q

A substance that absorbs light is called ________

A

Pigment

22
Q

What 4 pigments did we see using paper chromatography? Know the color of each and which moved the farthest

A
  1. Chlorophyll B - green yellow
  2. Chlorophyll A - green blue
  3. Xanthophylls- yellow
  4. Carotenoids - orange
23
Q

When we put the spinach in phenol red, after we turned it orange-yellow by blowing air into it, why did it return to its original red color?

A

The leaf was using CO2 to do photosynthesis/ leaves do not use greenlight

24

G1,S,G2, Mitosis (Prophase, Prometaphase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase) Cytokenisis

25
Q

G1

A

Growth and preparation for DNA synthesis

26
Q

S

A

A copy of the genome is synthesiszed

27
Q

G2

A

Prepares the cell for mitosis

28
Q

Prophase

A

Condensed chromosomes, spindle apparatus assembles, 2 centrioles move to oppositepoles, nuclear membrane breaks down

29
Q

Prometaphase

A

Microtubules attach to kinetochores, chromosomes begin to move to the center of the cell

30
Q

Metaphase

A

Chromosomes align along metaphase plate

31
Q

Anaphase

A

Centriomeres split, cohesin is removed, sister chromatids pulled to opposite poles

32
Q

Telophase

A

Spindle apparatus disassembles, nuclear envelope forms, chromosomes uncoil and nucleolus reappears in each new cell

33
Q

Cytokenisis

A

Divides the cell into 2 cells

34
Q

What are the 2 rounds of Meiosis and the stages in each?

A

Meiosis I & Meiosis II / each one has prophase, prometaphase, metapahse, anaphase, telophase

35
Q

A gene has alternate states called________, contributed to an organism by its parents

A

allleles

36
Q

Know the difference between dominant (P) and recessive (p)

A

dominant (P)- alleles that mask the expression but are expressed themselves
recessive (p)- alleles whose expression is masked

37
Q

Know the difference between genotype (Pp) and phenotype (purple flowers)

A

phenotypes- physical appearance

genotype- includes all the alleles present in the cell

38

45
Q

Know how Gel Electrophoresis works

A

process that separates DNA or protein fragments according to their size, causing them to migrate within a gel in response to an electric field
