Q

Why are cells so small?

A

Cells are so small because they need to be able to get the nutrients in and the waste out quickly.

A

All living organisms are composed of one or more cells.
A cell is the basic structural and functional unit of living organisms.

Q

What is sexual reproduction

A

Sexual reproduction occurs when the sperm from the male parent fertilizes an egg from the female parent, producing an offspring that is genetically different from both parents.

Q

What is mitosis interphase?

A

Interphase is the longest part of the cell cycle. This is when the cell grows and copies its DNA before moving into mitosis. During mitosis, chromosomes will align, separate, and move into new daughter cells.

Q

What is mitosis prophase?

A

Chromosomes condense and start to become visible. Spindle fibers begin to form. Centrioles migrate to opposite poles of the cell.

In the gonads

28
Q

How many chromosomes do human sex cells have?

A

23 chromosomes.

29
Q

Is the egg and sperm haploid or diploid?

A

Haploid.

30
Q

How many cell divisions does 1 parent cell go through?

A

2 cell divisions to make 4 daughter cells.

31
Q

What happens in meiosis 1?

A

In meiosis 1, the cell consists of 4 chromosomes which are then reporduced into 2 cells with 2 chromosomes in each

32
Q

What happens in interphase 1? - Meiosis

A

Metabolic activities and replicates chromosomes. - like mitosis

33
Q

What happens in prophase 1?- Meiosis

A
  • Synapsis ~ pairing of homologous pairs
34
Q

Karyotype

A
  • Photograph of chromosomes
  • look for chrom. abnormalities
35
Q

What are homologous pairs?

A

Chromosome pairs, that look same in size and have same genes and centriole location

36
Q

Why is meiosis prophase 1 significant?

A

When the homologous pairs come together, they crossover, swapping genes for more VARIATION .

37
Q

What happens in metaphase 1?- Meiosis

A

When the homologous pairs line up on the metaplate.

38
Q

What happens in anaphase 1?- Meiosis

A

Separates the Homologous chromosomes and are pulled to the poles.
Law of segregation.

39
Q

Why is it important for chromosome not to split up like mitosis ~ meiosis?

A

Reduce chromosome number in 1/2

40
Q

What happens in telophase 1?- Meiosis

A

New cells are formed with 2 chromosomes in each.

41
Q

What happens in Meiosis 2?

A

The parent cell is divided into 4 daughter cells with 1 chromasome in each

42
Q

What happens in interphase 2?- Meiosis

A

Trick question ~ it doesn’t happen :)

43
Q

What happens in prophase 2?- Meiosis

A

No paring of chromosomes, as no homologous pairs.

44
Q

What happens in metaphase 2?- Meiosis

A

Chromosomes line up in the middle at the meta plate

45
Q

What happens in anaphase 2?- Meiosis

A

Sister chromatids move to the opposite ends of the cells

46
Q

What happens in telophase 2?- Meiosis

A

4 new cells are formed with 1 daughter chromatid in each.

47
Q

What is gametogenesis?

A

Making of gametes (sex cells) sperm and egg

48
Q

What is spermatogenesis

A

The making of sperm that happens in egg

49
Q

What is oogenesis?

A

Making of the ovum or egg

50
Q

What is the ovum

A

Ovum is just another word for egg

51
Q

Meiosis 2 will only happen under WHAT condition

A

It only happens if the egg is fertilized.

52
Q

How many sperms are made daily?

A

200-300 million

53
Q

What happens if fertilization does not take place?

A

The egg will shed with menstral cycle

54
Q

What is a zygote?

A

A zyogte is a sperm + an egg..

55
Q

What is ovulation?

A

egg is released from ovary

56
Q

What triggers cell division?

A

Growth factors by binding to the plasm membrane and trggering signals

57
Q

What do checkpoints in interphase do?

A

Check for cell abnormalities and defects

58
Q

Where are the 3 checkpoints?

A

End of G2, end of M, and 3/4 down G1

59
Q

What is cancer

A

Cancer is a growth disorder of cells.

60
Q

How does cancer occur?

A

Cancer occurs because of tumors

61
Q

What are tumors?

A

A cluster of cells that grow constantly

62
Q

What is a monosomy?

A

One chromosome missing

63
Q

What is a trisomy?

A

1 extra chrom. that leads to down syndrome

64
Q

What is a polyploidy

A

Instead of 2n, you might have 3n or 4n

3n = steril
4n=plants

65
Q

Addition

A

The adding of extra genes

66
Q

Deletion

A

The removal of genes
