Q

Centromere

A

the point on a diploid set of chromosomes where spindle fibers attach to pull the sister chromatids apart. (Located at the center)

35
Q

Cell plate

A

What forms between two sides of a plant cell during mitosis before the cell wall develops.

36
Q

Crossing over

A

When chromosomes trade sections of DNA before meiosis, happens in prophase I

Q

When dose independent assortment take place?

A

Metaphase I

38
Q

Random assortment of chromosomes

A

The chromosomes split in a random way

Gene mutation

A

Different DNA leads to different traits

40
Q

Nondisjunction

A

Error in chromosomes splitting during meiosis leading to too few or too many chromosomes.

52
Q

Histome Proteins

A

The proteins that DNA wraps around to form its shape and structure

53
Q

Chromatin

A

Unwound DNA

54
Q

2 Main parts of the cell cycle

A

Interphase (G1,S,G2), Cell division (Mitosis)

55
Q

How is Prophase I in meiosis different from prophase in Mitosis?

A

In Prophase I the homologues chromosomes line up in a tetrad

56
Q

What genetic disorder dose someone have if they are missing or have a partial X chromosome?

A

Turner syndrome, they are developmentally female

57
Q

What genetic disorder dose someone have if they have 2 X chromosomes and a Y chromosome?

A

Klinefelter Syndrome

58
Q

Haploid and diploid cells are represented by what numbers?

A

Haploid- n
Diploid- 2n
(n is the amount of genetic material in a haploid cell so a diploid cell is twice that)
