Q

Mitosis vs meiosis ( 12 points)

A

PURPOSE
Mitosis- creates 2 identical daughter cells to increase number of cells in the body, and for growth and repair.
Meiosis-To produce gametes with half the genetics of a parent cell, genetic diversity.

REPRODUCTION TYPE
Mitosis-Asexual
Meiosis-Sexual reproduction

DAUGHTER CELLS PRODUCED
Mitosis-2 daughter cells(diploid)
Meiosis-4 daughter cells(haploid)

DIVISION NUMBERS
Mitosis-1 cell division
Meiosis-2 cell divisions

IDENTICAL OR NOT COMPARED TO EACHOTHER
Mitosis- Identiacal
Meiosis- Different

CONTAINS HOMOLOGOUS CHROMSOMES
Mitosis-doesn’t contain homologous chromosomes
Meiosis-does contain homologous chromosomes

CHROMATIN CONDENSES
Mitosis-yes chromatin condenses
Meiosis-yes chromatin condenses

CELL TYPES PRODUCED
Mitosis-2 identical body cells
Meiosis- 4 gamete sex cells

DAUGHTER VS PARENT CELLS
Mitosis-identical daughter cell to parent cell
Meiosis-different daughter cell to parent cell

HAPLOID OR DIPLOID
Mitosis-diploid
Meiosis-haploid

CROSSING OVER
Mitosis-crossing over doesn’t occur
Meiosis-crossing over does occur

INTERPHASE
Mitosis-occurs before mitosis
Meiosis-occurs before meiosis

33
Q

Benefits of GMOs

A

-Produce more food
-Cost less
-Have no known risks from eating
-Easier to grow food because you can modify them around problems.

34
Q

Concerns of GMOs (6 points)

A

-Modified and not natural
-How far is this gonna go until they aren’t even crops anymore
-This may cause a health problem (unknown)
-Allergies
-Gene transfer
-Outcrossing

35
Q

DNA vs RNA (6 points)

A

FUNCTION
-DNA recreates and stores genetic information. It is a blueprint for all genetic information contained within an organism. RNA converts the genetic information contained within DNA to build proteins, and then moves it to ribosomal protein factories.

STRUCTURE
-DNA is a double helix made by 2 strand , RNA is 1 strand

SUGAR
-DNA has deoxyribose, RNA has ribose sugars.

BASES & BASE PAIRS
-DNA is Adenine-Thymine Guanine-Cytosine (A,T,G,C)
-RNA Adenine-Uracil Cytosine-Guanine (A,U,C,G)

BOTH
-Made with nucleotides
-Both have 4 nitrogen bases
-

36
Q

Crossing over (when does it occur)

A

When 2 homologous chromosomes pair together and they cross each other. Some of their segments break off and reattach to the other chromosome. This is how sibling look different because crossing over can many many different gene combinations. This happened in prophase 1.

52
Q

(Meiosis)
Metaphase 1

A

pairs of homologous chromosomes line up at the center of the cell

53
Q

(Meiosis)
Anaphase 1

A

Homologous chromosomes are pulled to opposite sides of the cell.

54
Q

(Meiosis)
Telophase 1

A

Spindle fibers dissolve and new nuclei from around the cell.

55
Q

56
Q

(Meiosis)
Metaphase 2

A

When individual chromosomes line up at the center of the cell

57
Q

(Meiosis)
Anaphase 2

A

Chromosomes are split at the centromere and the individual chromatids are pulled to opposite sides of the cell

58
Q

(Meiosis)
Telophase 2

A

Spindle fibers dissolve and new nuclei from around the chromosomes.

59
Q

Interphase
(Mitosis & Meiosis)

A

A stage in the cell cycle when the cell copies it’s DNA, the cell grows, and the cell prepares to divide.

60
Q

Cytokinesis

A

The last stage in the cell cycle when the cytoplasm of the cell divides
