1101239159Tay-Sachs DiseaseA human genetic disease caused by a recessive allele for a dysfunctional enzyme, leading to accumulation of certain lipids in the brain. Seizures, blindness, and degeneration of motor and mental performance usually become manifest a few months after birth, followed by death within a few years.

APUSH Chapter 18: Renewing the Sectional Struggle, 1848-1854 Flashcards

Terms : Hide Images
1041831773In order to maintain the two great political parties as vital bonds of national unity,party leaders avoided public discussion of slavery
1041831775The United States' victory in the Mexican War resulted in:a. Renewed controversy over the issue of extending slavery into the territories b. A possible split in the Whig and Democratic parties over slavery c. The cession by Mexico of an enormous amount of land to the United States d. A rush of settlers to new American territory in California
1041831777The Wilmot Proviso, if adopted, would have prohibited slavery inany territory acquired in the Mexican War
1041831779The debate over slavery in the Mexican Cession threatened tosplit national politics along North-South lines.
1041831782in 1848, the Free Soil Party platform advocated the following:a. Support of the Wilmot Proviso b. Federal aid for internal improvements c. Free government homesteads for settlers d. Opposition to slavery in the territory
1041831785According to the principle of "Popular Sovereignty", the question of slavery in the territories would be determined bythe vote of the people in any given territory
1041831787The public liked popular sovereignty becauseit fit in with the democratic tradition of self-determination
1041831790In the 1848 presidential election, the Democratic and Whig parties remained silent on the issue ofslavery
1041831792The key focus for the major parties in the 1848 presidential election waspersonalities
1041831794The event that brought turmoil to the administration of Zachary Taylor wasthe discovery of gold in California
1041831796The Free Soilers argued that slavery wouldcost more costly wage labor to wither away
1041831797Of the people going California during the gold rush, a distressingly high proportion werelawless men
1041831798The Free Soilers condemned slavery becauseit destroyed the chances of free white workers to rise to self-employment
1041831799By 1850, the South was relatively well off,politically and economically
1041831800Harriet Tubman gained fame byhelping slaves escape to Canada
1041831801During the 1850s, slaves probably gained their freedom most frequently byself-purchase
1041831802John C. Calhoun's plan to protect the South and slavery involved the election of two presidents, one from the _____ and one from the _____North, South
1041831803Daniel Webster's famed Seventh of March speech in 1850 resulted ina shift toward compromise in the North
1041831804In his Seventh of March speech, Daniel Websterurged reasonable concession to the South
1041831805For his position in his Seventh of March Speech, Daniel Websterwas viciously condemned by abolitionists
1041831806The Young Guard from the North were most interested inpurging and purifying the Union
1041831807In the debates of 1850,Senator William h. Seward, as a representative of the northern Young Guard, argued thatChristian legislators must obey God's moral law
1041831808During the debate of 1850, William H. Seward argued that there was a "higher law" than the Constitution that compelled him todemand the exclusion of slavery from the territories
1041831809An event which helped the cause of compromise in 1850, was when President Zachary Taylor died suddenly andMillard Fillmore became president
1041831810Southern delegates met at convention In Nashville in the summer of 1850 tocondemn the compromises being worked out in Congress
1041831811In the Compromise of 1850, Congress determined that slavery in the New Mexico and Utah territories was to be decided bypopular sovereignty
1041831812The most alarming aspect of the Compromise of 1850 to northerners wasthe decision concerning the new Fugitive Slave Law
1041831813The Fugitive Slave Law included the following:a. Denial of a jury trial to runaway slaves b. Denial of fleeing slaves' right to testify on their own behalf c. The penalty of imprisonment for northerners who helped slaves to escape d. A higher payment if officials determined blacks to be runaways
1041831814Many Northern states passed "Personal Liberty Laws" in response to the Compromise of 1850's provision regardingrunaway slaves
1041831815In light of future evidence, it seems apparent that in the Compromise of 1850, the South made a tactical blunder bydemanding a strong fugitive slave law
1041831816The fatal split in the Whig part in 1852 occurred overslavery
1041831817The election of 1852 was significant becauseit marked the end of the Whig party
1041831818For a short time in the 1850s, William Walker, an American adventurer, seized control ofNicaragua
1041831819The man who opened Japan to the United States wasMathew Perry
1041831820in 1850, rebuffed as buyers, some Southern adventurers undertook to shake the tree of Manifest Destiny by attempting toseize Cuba by force
1041831821The United States scheme to gain control of Cuba was stopped whennorthern free-soilers fiercely protested the effort.
1041831822Some Southerners felt Cuba would be an enticing prospect for annexation for the following reasons:a. It was a sugar-rich and economically productive territory b. It already had a large population of enslaved blacks c. It could be carved into several states, restoring political balance in the Senate d. It was located just off the nation's doorstep
1041831823On July 3, 1844, the first formal diplomatic agreement between the United States and China was theTreaty of Wanghia
1041831824A scheme to acquire Cuba from Spain in the 1850's was known as theOstend Manifest
1041831825Most American leaders believe that the only way to keep the new Pacific Coast territories from breaking away from the United States was toconstruct a transcontinental railroad
1041831826A Southern route for the transcontinental railroad seemed the best becausethe railroad would be easier to build in this area
1041831827Stephen A. Douglas proposed that the question of slavery in the Kansas-Nebraska Territory be decided bypopular sovereignty
1041831828Stephen A. Douglas's plans for deciding the slavery question in the Kansas-Nebraska scheme required repeal of theMissouri Compromise
1041831829One of Stephen Douglas's mistakes in proposing the Kansas-Nebraska Act wasunderestimating the depth of northern opposition to the spread of slavery.

Mitosis Flashcards

The primary result of mitosis is the transferring of the parent cell's genome into two daughter cells. These two cells are identical and do not differ in any way from the original parent cell. Mitosis occurs in our heart, liver, brain, skin, blood and more. Why is Mitosis so important?

1047414865InterphaseChromosomes are copied. Chromosomes appear as threadlike coils at the start, but each chromosome and its copy change to sister chromatids at the end of this phase.
1047414866ProphaseMitosis begins as centrioles appear and begin to move to opposite ends of the cell. Spindle fibers form between the poles.
1047414867MetaphaseChromatids attache to the spindle fibers. The chromosomes line up along the middle of the cell.
1047414868AnaphaseChromatids separate and begin to move to opposite ends of the cell, pulled along by the spindle fibers
1047414869TelophaseCell membrane moves inward to create two daughter cells - each with its own nucleus with identical chromosomes.
1047414870CytokinesisTwo new nuclei form. Chromosomes appear as chromatin. Mitosis ends.
1047414871CentromereThe most condensed and constricted region of a chromosome, to which the spindle fiber is attached during mitosis.
1047414872MitosisCell division in which the nucleus divides into two nuclei containing the same number of chromosomes with an end result of two identical cells.
1047414873Nucleusa part of the cell containing DNA and RNA and responsible for growth and reproduction
1047414874Spindle FibersSpecial microtubules made of proteins which connect to centromeres and pull apart chromosomes.

Need Notes?

While we strive to provide the most comprehensive notes for as many high school textbooks as possible, there are certainly going to be some that we miss. Drop us a note and let us know which textbooks you need. Be sure to include which edition of the textbook you are using! If we see enough demand, we'll do whatever we can to get those notes up on the site for you!
