Review Flashcards
Prophase
- 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
Metaphase
- chromosomes line up in the middle
- spindle fibres attach to chromosomes at the centromere
- tugging of spindle fibres pulls chromosomes into a line
Anaphase
- 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
Telophase
- 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
eukaryotes
- cells that has a true nucleus
prokaryotes
- Lacks a true nucleus
- genetic material is free floating in the cell
- genetic material is either a loop or small piece caked a plasmid
vestigal structures
- 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

Mechanical Digestion
physical breakdown of food, which usually happens in the mouth with teeth and tongue and in the stomach
Chemical Digestion
Particles are broken down into smaller subunits via enzymes and chemical reactions, which happens in the mouth, stomach and small intestine
Viruses
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
incomplete dominance
intermediate allele is expressed in the heterozygous situation
complete
one allele dominates over the other in heterozygous situations
codominance
both allels will be expressed in a heterozygous situation
Radial symmetry
usually found in round (cylindrical) Organisms
Prophase 1
- 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
Bilateral symmetry
symmetrical when you cut things down the middle
Crossing over
The exchange of chromosomal segments between a pair of homologous chromosomes happens during prophase 1 in meiosis 1.
Fitness (evolution)
producing many generation of viable fertile offspring
Monocot
Seed has only 1 cotyledon
Dicot
seed has 2 cotyledons
During inhalation
- diaphragm muscles contract, pulling downward
- external intercostal muscles contract pulling ribs upward and outward
during exhalation
- passive process
- diaphragm muscles & external innercostal muscles relaxes rib cage moves inward and downward
