Q

Meiosis II

A

sister chromatids separate

17
Q

Prophase II

A

spindle forms; chromosomes move toward middle

18
Q

Metaphase II

A

Chromosomes align at metaphase plate; kinetochores pointing toward opposite poles

19
Q

Anaphase II

A

Centromeres of sister chromatids separate; individual daughter chromosomes move toward opposite poles

20
Q

Telophase II & cytokinesis

A

Cells separate; 4 daughter cells with a haploid # of single chromosomes

21
Q

nondisjunction

A

In meiosis I: homologous chromosomes fail to separate

In meiosis II: Sister chromatids fail to separate

22
Q

allele

A

different form of a gene

23
Q

Law of Equal Segregation

A

a sperm or egg carries only one allele for a single gene b/c alleles segregate away from each other during meiosis

24
Q

recessive disorders

A

skip generations

25
Q

dominant disorders

A

present in every generation

26
Q

In translation heads and tails…

A

protect RNA from enzymatic degradation

27
Q

Light reactions

A

In thylakoid; water splits; oxygen released as gas, hydrogens will form sugar

28
Q

light independent (calvin cycle)

A

in stroma; produces sugar NADPH & ATP are input

29
Q

carbon fixation

A

carbon atoms entering calvin cycle

30
Q

chemiosmosis

A

production of ATP in photosynthesis

31
Q

Photophosphorylation

A

chemiosmotic production of ATP
