Term
What gives structure and its barrier?
Definition
the Membrane
Term
Very selective so they can keep conditions inside the cell stable

Bilayer
Term
Composed of a hydrophobic head and a hydrophillic tail
Definition
Phospholipids
Term
Type of protein that allows molecules and ions to go through
Definition
Communication/Channel
Term
Protein that interacts with specific molecules so they can cross plasma memberane. (cause of obesity)
Definition
Passive/Carrier
Term
Proteins that can recognize cell type and help guide cells together
Definition
Cell recognition
Term
Proteins have binding parts and have hormones that trigger changes
Definition
Receptor
Term
Proteins act in catalyzing certain reactions
Definition
Enzymatic
Term
Each cell membrane structure allows some substances but not others cross it in certain ways at certain times.
Definition
Selective permeability
Term
The net movement of like molecules or ions down a concentration gradient
Definition
Diffusion
Term
Number of molecules/ions in a given volume.
Definition
Concentration gradient
Term
Drives the movement of molecules & speeds up the reaction so the molecules will move down the concentration gradient
Definition
Thermal energy
Term
How steep the gradient is.
Definition
Gradient difference
Term
The higher the temperature, the faster the reaction
Definition
Temperature
Term
The smaller the faster
Definition
Molecular size
Term
Something passes through the membrane without an energy boost (higher to lower)
Definition
Passive transport
Term
-Lower to higher
-Requires energy
-Exocytosis & Endocytosis
Definition
Active Transport
Term
Movement out of the membrane
Definition
Exocytosis
Term
When a solid is taken in
Definition
Phagocytosis
Term
Pinocytosis
Definition
When a solute is taken in
Term
Passive movement of water molecules across a differentially permeable membrane
Definition
Osmosis
Term
Water will move from a ____ concentration to a ____ concentration
Definition
Higher to lower
Term
The same concentration on each side, water shows no movement
Definition
Isotonic
Term
Has a lower concentration of solutes than the fluid
Definition
Hypotonic
Term
Has a higher concentration of solute than the fluid
Definition
Hypertonic
Term
Water tends to diffuse from ____ to ____
Definition
Hypotonic to hypertonic
Term
In this type of solution, sometimes the cell will burst because it fills with water
Definition
Hypotonic
Term
In this type of solution, a cell may shrink up because all water goes inside the cell
Definition
Hypertonic
Term
Was a monk, raised on a farm, kept good records, studied plants
Definition
Gregor Mendel
Term
Mendel used what type of a plant as an experimental plant?
Definition
Pea plant
Term
Mendel performed what type of fertilization?
Definition
Cross-fertilization
Term
Why is the pea plant good? (4)
Definition

-Pea plant can fertilize itself

-True breeding

-Cross fertilizes easily

-Has good characteristics
Term
Units of information about specific traits. Located in the locus in the chromosome.
Definition
Genes
Term
Have a pair of genes for each trait (2N). Ex: skin cells
Definition
Diploid cells
Term
Different molecular forms of the same gene
Definition
Alleles
Term
Example of homozygous
Definition
TT, tt
Term
Example of heterozygous
Definition
Tt
Term
The particular alleles an individual carries
Definition
Genotype
Term
An individual's observeable traits
Definition
Phenotype
Term
P
Definition
parental generation
Term
F1
Definition
first generation offspring
Term
F2
Definition
second generation offspring
Term
This type of cross is concerned with only one characteristic
Definition
Monohybrid cross
Term
When one gene is going to have an effect on two or more traits
Definition
Pleiotrophy
Term
Who had the Marfan Syndrome?
Definition
Abraham Lincoln
Term
Steps of Karyotyping (7)
Definition

-Sample blood

-Put in centrifuge

-Colchine blocks cell division by not allowing spinolles to form

-Saline solution so cells will not pop

-stain cells

-Smash cells to put on a slide

-22 pairs of autosomes & 1 pair of sex chromosomes
Term
Purpose of karyotyping?
Definition
To see exact state of genetic compliment of an individual
Term
Unit of info of heritable traits
Definition
Gene
Term
Possess pairs of homologous chromosomes
Definition
Diploid
Term
Slightly different form of molecular forms of the same gene
Definition
Alleles
Term
Allows for recombination
Definition
Crossing over
Term
Some may go one way, some may go a different way
Definition
Independent assortment
Term
Males genetic combination
Definition
XY
Term
Woman's genetic combination
Definition
XX
Term
Specific chromosomes that are linked together & will always appear together
Definition
Linkage groups
Term
What you get when there is crossing over
Definition
Recombinations
Term
Why are human genetics difficult to study?
Definition
Because of different environments, conditions, ect.
Term
Chart of genetic combinations among individuals
Definition
Pedigree chart
Term
Many fingers
Definition
Polydactly
Term
Blood doesn't clot
Definition
Hemophillia
Term

Passed through autosomes and recessive genes. ex: albaism, sickle cell anemia.

Both mom and dad would have to have recessive gene
Definition
Autosomal recessive inheritance
Term
In autosomal recessive inheritance, _____ individual would be symptom free
Definition
Heterozygous
Term
Dominant gene would be expressed. Reduces change of offspring surviving. ex: Dwarfism
Definition
Autosomal dominant inheritance
Term
Mutated gene occurs only on x-chromosomes. Males are more often affected, because they have single 'x' not dominated by another gene
Definition
X-linked recessive inheritance
Term
After crossing over, part of the chromosome structure was replicated
Definition
Duplication
Term
A linear stretch of DNA within the chromosome becomes oriented in reverse direction
Definition
Inversion
Term
A broken part of a chromosome becomes attached to a nonhomologus chromosome
