Cards

Term
punnet squares
Definition
cross aa and Aa
Term
chi-square test
Definition

1. find deviation (observed-expected)

2. deviation2: (o-e)2

3. d2/e

4. Chi-square= ∑ d2/e

if in nonsignificant portion, then the results are deemed valid

Term
monohybrid
Definition
single trait cross
Term
dihybrid
Definition
two trait cross
Term
monohybrid and dihybrid crosses
Definition
monohybrid cross resulted in 1/4 offsping with recessive trait and 3/4 offspring with dominant trait; start with homozygous parents
Term
hardy-weinberg equations
Definition

p+q=1; where p=frequency of dominant allele and q=frequency of recessive allele

 

p2+2pq+q2=1; where p2=frequency of homozygous dominant trait, 2pq=frequency of heterozygous trait, and q2=frequency of homozygous recessive trait

Term
five assumptions for hardy-weinberg equillibrium
Definition

1.larg populations

2. random mating

3. no gene flow

4. no mutation

5. no natural selection

Term
how natural selection affects gene pool
Definition
because some traits were "selected for" in the environment, the organisms with those traits survived and produced offspring. any change in the frequency of alleles is a change in the gene pool
Term
gel electrophoresis
Definition

-detect differences in proteins based on their size and charge

-gel is linked to two buffer tanks by contaact wicks and connected to electric current, which creatss a charged field through wich the proteins migrate

Term

interpret gels

monomorphic

Definition
enzymes migrate same distance from origin
Term

interpret gels

polymorphic

Definition
number of bands varies and two or more bands within an activity zone
Term

interpret gels

monomeric

Definition
when there is a maximum of two bands in the same line of a zone of activity
Term

interpret gels

dimeric

Definition

when there is more than two bands in the same lind of a zone of activity

-cannot determine if monomeric

Term

gel phenotype/genotype

f/f

Definition
farthest away, single
Term

gel phenotype/genotype

f/s

Definition
farthest away, double or triple
Term

gel phenotype/genotype

s/s

Definition
bottom line of f/s, single
Term

gel pheotype/genotype

vs/vs

Definition
single one below s/s
Term

gel phenotype/genotype

s/vs

Definition
one s/s and and one vs/vs combined
Term
enzymes
Definition

amylase

catechol oxidase

-potato extract contained enzyme

Term

substrates

 

Definition

catechol

starch

Term
competitive inhibitor
Definition
binds to part of active site so substrate can't bind; can be reversed aat high concentration of substrate
Term
noncompetitive inhibitor
Definition
binds two different parts of enzyme and changes enzymes active site; adding more substrate will not reverse it
Term
optimal conditions for amylase
Definition

high percentage/concentration of amylase

pH of about 6

temp of 37*C-->body temp

Term
structures found in cell during mitosis
Definition

1. nuclear envolope-surrounds nucleus

2. chromatin-mass of uncoiled DNA and proteins

3. centrosome-granular region that contains a pair of centrioles outside the nucleus, orginizing center for microtubules

4. sister chromatid-each strand of a duplicated chromosome

5. spindle-fibrous, rounded structure satering toward each end; made of microtubules

6. kinetochore-links sister chromatids in the middle

Term
nuclear envelope
Definition
surrounds nucleus
Term
chromatin
Definition
mass of uncoiled DNA and proteins
Term
centrosome
Definition
granular region that contains a pair of centrioles outside the nucleous, orginizing center for microtubules
Term
sister chromatid
Definition
each strand of a duplicated chromosome
Term
spindle
Definition
fibrous rounded stracture tapering toward each end; made of microtubules
Term
kinetochore
Definition
links sister chromatids in the middle
Term
cleavage furrow
Definition
pinches into two in animal cells
Term
cell plate
Definition
extends across cell and divides in two in plant cells
Term

differences between plant and animal cells

 

Definition

plant-have cell wall, chloroplasts, cell plate, no centrioles

animal cells-cleavage furrow, centrioles, cell membrane

Term
plant cell
Definition

cell wall

chloroplasts

cell plate

no centrioles

Term
animal cells
Definition

cell membrane

cleavage furrow

centrioles

Term

end results of mitosis

 

Definition

growth/repair of cells

1 diploid cell -> 2 diploid cells

Term
end results of meiosis
Definition

produces gametes

1 diploid cell -> 4 haploid cells

Term
centrioles
Definition
small dots seen at the poles around which the microtubules of the spindle ans asters appear to radiate
Term
asters
Definition
an array of microtubules surrounding each centriole pair at the poles of the spindle
Term
enzyme def
Definition
biological catalysts compunds that speed up a chemical reaction without being used up or altered in the reaction
Term
substrate
Definition
material with which the catalyst reacts, modified during the reaction to form a new product
Term
activators
Definition
chemicals that must bind for the enzyme to be active
Term
cofactors
Definition
nonprotein substances that usually bind to the active site on the enzyme and are essential for the enzyme to work
Term
inhibitors
Definition
chemicals that shut off enzyme activity
