Term
pangenesis implies what?     
Definition
that the whole organization.  in the sense of every atom or unit, reproduces itself.
Term
darwin believed what to be the units of reproduction?     
Definition
gemmules  
Term
gemmules are found where?
Definition
in every part of the organism.
Term
gemmules are specific localized what?  
Definition
types, (liver gemmules, ear gemmules)
Term
Frances Galton  
Definition

Darwin's Cousin, IQ , in stats

he was also a proponent in eugenics. 

Tested Darwin's ideas. 

Term
problems with Pangenesis?
Definition

gemmules were never actually observed

 

inheritence of acquired characteristics was not observed

 

blending wasn't compatible with patterns of inheritence

 

cytologicalobservations led to the idea that chromosomes were the unit of heredity. 

 

weismann barrier, idea that there was a strict segregation of soatic and germ lines, was accepted. 

Term

Theodore schwann (1810-1882)

        
 

Definition

helped in the development of the cell theory

discoverer of pepsin, organic nature of wheat, and metabolism

 

Term

Ruloph Virchow  (1821-1902)

     

Definition

all life from life, all cells from cells

father of pathology 

Term
aristotle      
Definition
epigensis : gradual formation
Term
Karl Ernst von Baer (1792-!876)      
Definition
found mammalian ovum
Term
1873 Schnieder first saw what?  
Definition
THE seperation of cells
Term
walther flemming (1882)  
Definition

father of cytogenetics  (study of the structure of chromosome)

Term
August weissman
Definition

 gonads only to reproduce an other somatic  cell

 

heredity material is nuclear and found on chromosomes

 

development is a result of epigenesis 

Term
Edward Van Beneden, Teodor Boveri, Oskar hertwig discovered  
Definition
number of chromosomes are reduced by one half
Term
karyotype  
Definition

stain on chromosomes

    humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes

    n=23 (haploid chromosome number) 

Term
Mitosis  
Definition

process that precicely segregates duplicated genetic material.

(two identical cells with complete diploid genome) 

Term
karokinesis  
Definition
partitioning of genetic material
Term
cytokinesis has four phases?
Definition

prophase  

metaphase

anaphase

telephase 

Term
prophase
Definition

organization of cytoplasmic components  

duplication/migration of centrosomes

formation of spindle fibers

    Nuclear Events: break down of nuclear envelope

                              condensation of chromosomes

 

Term
metaphase
Definition

alignment of chromosomes at the midline

    chromosomes migrate to the middle of the cell along the lines of spidle fibers during prometaphase. at metaphase they are all lined up in random order by the centromere at metaphase plate. 

Term
anaphase  
Definition

seperation of chromosomes

    centromeres split, seperating sister chromids, each sister chromid is drawn apart by moelcular motors on spindles, drawing them apart in opposie sides of cells. 

Term
telophase  
Definition

restoration of normal cell morphology

    disassembly of spindle fibers

    reformation of nuclear envelope

    unfolding and dispersal of chromatin

    cytokinesis (usually) 

Term
Meiosis  
Definition
procduces cells that have precicely half the gentic complement
Term
1st devision of meiosis?
Definition
reduction devision
Term
2nd devision of meiosis?
Definition
equational division
Term
eukaryotic cells
Definition

sometimes consist of two chromatids

sometimes consist of a single chromatid

normally possess a single centromere

clearly visible as defined bodies in the light microscope

 

Term
the cell cycle
Definition

consists of mitosis and interphase

a cell can remain in G1 for weeks or much longer

proteins are formed throughout all subphase and interphase

histones are synthesized primarily during S phase 

Term
in meiosis
Definition
homologous chromosomes seperate from one another in anaphse 1
Term
DNA replicates in what phase?
Definition
s-phase
Term
the synapse of homologous chromosomes happen where?
Definition
prophase
Term
if there is a loss of chromosome usually what happened?
Definition
nondisjunction in meiosis 1
Term
gregory mendels method
Definition

pick a simple model system

select a small number of easily measured features

use established true breeding strains

 

Term
three scientists who recreated mendels plant hybridization experiements, and recovered mendels paper were?
Definition
correns, de vries and tschermak
Term
mendels first law
Definition
segregatoin, 2 traits there only one shown
Term
mendels 2nd law
Definition
independant assortment
Term
mendel made recipricocal crosses to do what?
Definition
to rule out the possibilty that the sex of the parent carrying the specific form made a difference.
