Reproduction & chromosome transmission 4 Flashcards
Reproduction
Biological Process where new cells or organisms are produced
Chromosomes
Are structures within living cells that contain the genetic material (Genes are located within chromosomes)
Somatic Cells
Are any body cell that isn’t a gamete
________________ chromosomes are inherited in sets
Eukaryotic
Diploid
Contains two chromosomes in each set
The pair of chromosomes in a set are called __________
Homologs
In a pair of chromosomes (2 chromosomes) one chromosomes comes from the ______ & the other from the _______ to makes it a pair which is why they are homologous pair because they are identical in size, shape, & banding pattern & contain the same genes
Dad, Mom
The only difference between a homologous pair is that it may contain __________ of a genes since one comes from dad & other comes from mom
Allele
Allele
Different verison of a gene
______________ are not homologous pairs
Sex chromosome (X & Y)
Locus
Physical location of a gene
Eukaroytic cells reproduce through the _______________
Cell Cycle
When eukaryotic cells reproduce they produce _______________ cells that contain the same number & type of chromosomes as the mother cell
2 Daugther
What are the phases of the cell cyle?
- Gap phase (G1 & G2) (G Phase )
- Synthesis (S phase)
- Mitosis (M phase)
What are the phases in interphase?
G1, S, & G2 Phase
G0 Phase
Non-dividing phase
What is the order of the phases in the cell cyle?
G1 —-> S —–> G2 ——> M Phase
In the G1 Phase what happens?
A cell is prepared to divide & reach a restriction point before S phase
After a cell past the restriction point what happens in the S phase?
The chromosomes are replicated & after its replicated the two copies are called chromatids where they are joined together at the centromere to make a sister chromatid (pair of chromatids)
Unless it says ______ of chromosmes then a chromosomes is just one singular chromosome (not two)
Pair
Unless it says ____________ a chromatid is just one singular chromatid (chromosome) not 2 just one
Suster Chromatids
After the S phase what happens?
A cell has twice as many singular chromatids (Chromosomes) than it did in the G1 phase
During the G2 Phase what happens?
A cell accumulates the materials needed for nuclear cell division
What is the formula for a diploid cell ?
2n (n = # of chromosomes)
