Q

Prophase

A
  • a chromatin strand that becomes more tightly coiled
  • the strands join together and are called chromosomes (46)
  • a chromosomes is made up of 2 identical sister chromatids and are joined by a centromere
  • centrioles move to opposite ends of the cell to give direction
  • spindle fibres guide chromosomes and stretch across the cell from centriole to centriole
  • nuclear membrane and nucleus disappears

Q

Metaphase

A
  • chromosomes line up in the middle
  • spindle fibres attach to chromosomes at the centromere
  • tugging of spindle fibres pulls chromosomes into a line

Q

Anaphase

A
  • two exact copies of sister chromatids within each chromosome are pulled apart by the spindle fibres
  • the centromere are pulled apart making the sister chromatids separate to opposite poles of the cell

Q

Telophase

A
  • chromatids reach the poles
  • chromosomes stretch out again (chromatin)
  • spindle fibers and centriole disappear
  • nuclear membrane reforms around the chromatin
  • nucleus forms inside each nucleus - - opposite of prophase

Q

vestigal structures

A
  • structures that are reduced or non-functional version of a structure that was functional in the organism’s ancestors
  • Ex. dogs have a vestigial toe

Q

Mechanical Digestion

A

physical breakdown of food, which usually happens in the mouth with teeth and tongue and in the stomach

16
Q

Chemical Digestion

A

Particles are broken down into smaller subunits via enzymes and chemical reactions, which happens in the mouth, stomach and small intestine

17
Q

Viruses

A

Non-living
Lytic (host symptoms are immediate)
Lysogenic (host symptoms are dormant for a long time)
Can’t be given antibiotics because viruses are non-living

18
Q

incomplete dominance

A

intermediate allele is expressed in the heterozygous situation

19
Q

complete

A

one allele dominates over the other in heterozygous situations

20
Q

codominance

A

both allels will be expressed in a heterozygous situation

21
Q

Radial symmetry

A

usually found in round (cylindrical) Organisms

22
Q

Prophase 1

A
  • chromosomes tight and come together in homologous pairs (synapsis)
    -as each pair had 4 chromatids they form a tetrad
  • crossing over occurs between homologous pairs exchanging genetic material
  • nuclear membran disintegrates
23
Q

Bilateral symmetry

A

symmetrical when you cut things down the middle

24
Q

Crossing over

A

The exchange of chromosomal segments between a pair of homologous chromosomes happens during prophase 1 in meiosis 1.

25
Q

Fitness (evolution)

A

producing many generation of viable fertile offspring

26
Q

Monocot

A

Seed has only 1 cotyledon

27
Q

Dicot

A

seed has 2 cotyledons

28
Q

During inhalation

A
  • diaphragm muscles contract, pulling downward
  • external intercostal muscles contract pulling ribs upward and outward
29
Q

during exhalation

A
  • passive process
  • diaphragm muscles & external innercostal muscles relaxes rib cage moves inward and downward
