week 5 - lab quiz 2 Flashcards
Define coarse adjustment
moves stage up and down to get a rough focus
Define fine adjustment
moves stage up and down to get a fine focus
Define ocular/eyepiece
part to look into microscope, contains lenses to increase magnification
Define objectives
contains lenses of different magnification on a revolving nose piece
Define stage
supports specimen, has opening which allows light to come through from light source underneath, mechanical stage knobs control positioning of slide
Define iris diaphragm
opening underneath stage whose size can be regulated in order to regulate amount of light passing through specimen
Define condenser
focuses light on specimen, adjusts contrast
How is total magnification found
product of magnification of eyepiece times magnification of objective
Which two parts of microscope magnify
the eyepiece and objective
Define parfocal
all objectives are adjusted to the same plane of focus
what is the growth of a multicellular organism due to
division and multiplication of its somatic celles by mitosis
name the 2 types of reproduction
asexual and sexual
Describe asexual reproduction
a single parent splits or buds by mitosis to produce two or more individuals
What is the result of asexual reproduction
Daughter cells which are genetically identical to each other and the parent, same number of chromosomes
What type of individual does asexual reproduction produce
adapted individual to produce more adapted individuals
Describe sexual reproduction
2 parents, gametes unite during fertilization to form zygote, chromosome number is reduced by half, 1n+1n=2n
What is the result of sexual reproduction
not identical to each other or parents
What type of individual does sexual reproduction produce
evolved individuals in response to demands of their environment
For sexual reproduction what doe chromosomes usually exist as
homologous pairs, 2 kinds of each chromosome
define homologous pair
similar in length, shape, size and carries genes that control the same characters
what is a diploid cell
2n
what is a haploid cell
n
what does mitosis produce
2 daughter nuclei which are exact replicas of parent
what is mitosis responsible for
Asexual reproduction like fission, budding, regeneration, how a multicellular organism grows and how mature organisms replace damaged or old somatic cells
which phase are cells in most of the time
interphase
define interphase
period between one nuclear division and the next
what happens during g1
growth of cytoplasmic material, like organelles
