Cards

Term
ALL cells (except sex cells) have the exact same chromosomes-- different cell types have different structures and functions is because
Definition
the expression of what is coded in the DNA is unique to that cell type
Term
prokaryotes divide by
Definition
binary fission
Term
binary fission is a type of ____ reproduction
Definition
asexual
Term
4 stages of cell cycle
Definition
G1 S G2 M
Term
interphase is composed of
Definition
G1 S G2
Term
what happens in G1?
Definition
growth and get new organelles
Term
restriction point
Definition
cell is committed to continue through the rest of the cell cycle and divide
Term
some cells never divide--enter __ phase
Definition
G0
Term
what happens in S?
Definition
snythesis-- each chromosome is replicated into two identical sister chromatids
Term
holds sister chromatids together
Definition
centromere
Term
ends of chromosomes
Definition
telomeres
Term
after DNA replication the cell has ___ number of chromosomes
Definition
2N
Term
what happens in G2?
Definition
more growth and formation of organelles
Term
can you see the membrane of the nucleus in interphase?
Definition
yes
Term
can you see the membrane of the nucleus in mitosis?
Definition
no--it dissolves in prophase so that the spindle fibers can enter the nucleus
Term
can you see individual chromosomes in interphase?
Definition
no they are uncoiled
Term
chromosomes coil condense and become visible in
Definition
the beginning of mitosis
Term
centrioles replicate
Definition
before the first stage of mitosis
Term
what happens in prophase
Definition
chromosomes condense, spindles form, centrioles move to opposite poles
Term
what happens in metaphase
Definition
chromosomes align on metaphase plate
Term
what happens in anaphase
Definition
sister chromatids separate at centromeres
Term
kinetochore fibers-
Definition
shorten during anaphase to pull sister chromatids during opposite poles; appear during prophase
Term
what happens during telophase
Definition
new nuclear membrane forms, spindle disappears, chromosomes uncoil, cytokinesis
Term
cleavage furrow
Definition
in animal cells
Term
cells that never divide
Definition
muscle and nerve
Term
types of asexual reproduction
Definition
1. binary fission 2. budding 3. regeneration 4. parthenogenesis
Term
parthenogenesis
Definition
development of an unfertilized egg into an adult organism --all cells are haploid
Term
occurs in hydra and yeast
Definition
budding
Term
replication of nucleus followed by unequal cytokinesis
Definition
budding
Term
produces two intermediate daughter cells
Definition
meiosis 1
Term
produces four genetically distinct haploid gametes
Definition
meiosis II
Term
involves separation of sister chromatids similar to mitosis
Definition
meiosis II
Term
the further apart two genes are the ___ likely they are to become unlinked during crossing over
Definition
MORE
Term
homologous chromosomes are inherited
Definition
one from each parent
Term
homologous chromosomes
Definition
code for the same traits
Term
synapsis
Definition
homologous chromosomes come together and intertwine
Term
synapsis occurs in
Definition
prophase I
Term
sister chromatids are no longer identical after____ has occured
Definition
recombination
Term
crossing over occurs in
Definition
prophase I
Term
you get tetrads in
Definition
prophase I
Term
homologous pairs sepearte in
Definition
anaphase I
Term
disjunction occurs in
Definition
anaphase I
Term
meiosis II differs from mitosis in that meiosis II is
Definition
not preceded by chromosomal replication
Term
in meiosis homologous chromosomes pair up at the metaphase plate forming
Definition
tetrads
Term
in mitosis homologous chromosomes..
Definition
dont pair up
Term
pathway of sperm
Definition
SEVEN UP: seminiferous tubules, epididymis, vas deferens, ejaculatory duct, nothing, urethra, penis
Term
sperm proudction
Definition
spermatogenesis
Term
mature sperm
Definition
spermatozoa
Term
production of female gametes
Definition
oogenesis
Term
after meiosis I in females you get
Definition
two daughter cells of unequal size-- a secondary oocyte and a polar body
Term
hormones that stimulate follice development in women
Definition
FSH and LH
Term
single zygote splits into two embryos
Definition
monozygotic twins
Term
siamese twins
Definition
incomplete division (monozygotic)
Term
are monozygotic twins genetically identical?
Definition
yes--same blood type sex etc
Term
two ova are released in one ovarian cycle and fertilized by two different sperm
Definition
dizygotic twins
Term
do fraternal twins share more characteristics than other sibings?
Definition
nope
Term
cell spends 90% of life in
Definition
interphase
Term
Prophase
Definition
nuclear membrane disappears, chromosomes condense, spindle forms
Term
Metaphase
Definition
chromosomes line up on metaphase plate
Term
Anaphase
Definition
sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles
Term
Telophase
Definition
cytokinesis, nuclear membrane reforms
Term
after cytokinesis there are
Definition
two identical cells
Term
mitosis is continuous, meiosis is
Definition
discontinuous
Term
flow of spermatogenesis:
Definition
spermatogonium--primary spermatocyte--(meiosis I)secondary spermatocytes--(meiosis II)--sperm cells
Term
flow of oogenesis:
Definition
oogonium--primary oocyte-(meiosis I)--secondary oocyte + polar body--(meiosis II)-ovum + second polar body
Term
flow of oogenesis:
Definition
oogonium--primary oocyte-(meiosis I)--secondary oocyte + polar body--(meiosis II)-ovum + second polar body
Term
is spermatogenesis continuous?
Definition
YES
Term
is oogenesis continuous?
Definition
NO
Term
where is oogenesis stuck?
Definition
prophase I each month until ovulation, finish meiosis II once its fertilized (stuck in telophase I)
Term
sperm develop in
Definition
seminiferous tubules
Term
eggs develop in
Definition
ovarian follicles
Term
FSH stimulates gamete production in
