M1: Physical Basis of Heredity Flashcards
Houses the DNA
Nucleus
Site for rRNA SYNTHESIS
Nucleolus
Site of translation
Ribosome
Unique ribosome to eukaryotes
Monosome 80s
- Large Subunit 60s
- Small Subunit 40s
Site of ATP Synthesis
Mitochondria
Site of Photosynthesis
Chloroplast
Associated with spindle fiber formation
Centrioles
Houses DNA for prokaryotes
Nucleoid
Unique ribosome to prokaryotes
Monosome 70s
- Large Subunit 50s
- Small Subunit 30s
Coiled chromatin fibers
Chromosome
Extended form of chromosome
Chromatin fibers
Chromosome with centromere at the middle
Metacentric
Chromosome with centromere at the middle of the middle and the end
Submetacentric
Chromosome with centromere near the end
Acrocentric
Chromosome with centromere at the end
Teleocentric
Chromatids that display the same trait
Sister Chromatids
2 copies of gene
Diploid
1 copy of gene
Haploid
Leads to the production of two cells with same number of chromosomes as the parent cell
Mitosis
Expresses mitosis and are non-sex cells
Somatic Cells
Roles of Mitosis
- Growth and Development
- Regeneration and Repair
- Basis of asexual reproduction
