1214883036Where is the DNA in prokaryotic CellsCytoplasm rather than nuclear envelope0
1214883037Components of Eukaryotic CellsNucleus, ER, Golgi, Lysosomes, Vacuoles, Mitochondira1
1214883038Cell TheoryAll organisms are made of cells basic unit of organizational life cells arise from2
1214883039Cell Membranesmade of lipds and proteins. lipid bilayer= barrier between3
12148830405 ways of transport across cell membrane1. diffusion- molecules moving down the concentration gradient 2.osmosis- water across a membrane as a result of a concentration gradient 3. passive transport-fluids crossing membrane through proteins in the bilayer 4.active transport- protein gets E from ATP that allows it to move with or against concentration gradient 5.Endo/Exocytosis- cells create sacs/vessicles to transport or store substances in cytoplasm4
1214883041Nucleusacces to dna/ packages it for cell division. composed of: nuclear envelope (which has two lipid bilayers, allows exchanges between nucleus and cytoplasm) nucleolus (where riobsomes are developed before being transported out of nucleus) Eukarotic DNA (chromosomes)5
1214883042ERmembrane has both smooth and rough portions. SMOOTH ER- no ribosomes. transports the stored proteins for cells. communication between smooth and golgi. Most deeloped in seens/animals that secrete hormones. ROUGH ER- large amounts of ribosomes. common in cells that produce secretions-pepsin/resin6
1214883043Golgi Bodycarry the product of the ER, where proteins are packaged for transport, Major highway for moving things out of the cell7
1214883044cytoskeletonmade up of microtubles and mirofilaments (units of protein). Flagella and cilia8
1214883045Flagella and Cillia-made of microtubules -9+2 organization9
1214883046Lysosomesmain digestion organelles of the cell,have enzymes that break things down and clear waste out of cells10
1215043396cell wallssupport and protection for cells. carbohydrate framework. extracellular matrix=collogen, fibrous proteins. Nutrients, hormones and other molecules diffuse through the cell matrix cell junctions allow for multicellular organisms cells to interact with each toher.11
1215043397carbon compoundsmost common elements are C, O, H. compounds link into chains/rings for structural utility. Less than 20 carbon atoms are grouped into 4 families- simple sugars, fatty acids, amino acids, nucleotides---> building blocks for lipds, proteins, polysaccharides, nucleic acids,12
1215043398Lipidscontain carbon and hydrogen. Mono/di/triglyceride refer to the amouns to fatty acid tails are present. Steroid=lipid with no fatty acid. Choloesterol= steroid.13
1215043399Proteinsmade up of amino acids. enzymes are proteins. three or more amino acids=polypeptide chain. denaturation changes the shape of a protein. Some denaturation =permanent, others not14
1215043400Nucleotides5 carbon sugar, nitrogen base, phosphate group. three kinds. Responsible for the transfer of protons and electrons from one reaction site to another. 1) ATP 2)Nucleotide Coenzymes transport H atoms and electrons necessary for metabolism 3)Nucleic acids. Single and double strands of nucleotide units. DNA. RNA..15
1215043401Acids bases and saltsacids release hydrogen atoms when they dissolve in water. substances that release ions when dissolved in water are bases. carbonic acid is one of the bodies main buffers, which help to keep inernal PH constant.16
1215043402atomic structureatoms are composed of sub atomic particles (protons, neutrons, and electrons). Protons and neutrons are densely concentrated in the center of the atom. The number of protons in a nucleus is the atomic number. Protons+ neutrons=mas number.17
1215043403chemical bonds (3 kinds)ionic bonds-when atom loses-gains electrons it becomes an ion. this bond is a relationship between two oppositely charged ions. covalent bonds-when atoms share electrons. Polar and non polar. Hydrogen- interaction of hydrogen molecules18
1215043404mitochondriaeneergy stored as carbs is released to form ATP. needs O2 to make ATP. Outer and inner membrane.19
1216423245PhotosynthesisPair of chemical reactions. Plants produce ATP. 1. In light dependednt reactions sunlight E is absorbed and converted to chemical energy. Chemical E transferred to ATP and NAPDH 2. In light independednt reactions, sugar and other substances are assembled with ATP and NAPDH Glucose is the end product. Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts, each one has a Thykaloid membrane where ATP production takes place. Products of photosyntheis (glucose) is made in the stoma.20
1216423247ATP-cells must convert energy of Carbs to ATP before uses - provides energy fr all the metabolic pathways in cells, cells could not grow, develop, repair, or reproduce21
1216423248ATP/ADP cyclecells contain high E storage molecule (ATP), which can be splot into ADP. This reaction releases heat and energy. The phosphate groups on ATP are high energy bonds, release lots of Energy.22
1216423250Electron Transport Systems-production of atp depends on ets -(aka) oxidation reduction reactions -electron transport systems absorb the energy released from excited atoms and use it23
1216423251aerobic energy releasing pathways"with oxygen", requires for operation stage 1: glucase degraded to pyruvate stage 2:krebs cycle-- pyruvate degradated to CO2 and H20 stage 3: Electron transport phophorylation (E released goes throughout system and drives the production of glucose and ATP). The free O2 combines with hydrogen to form water.24
1216423252anaerobic energy releasing pahways(without oxygen). Something besides 02 is the final electron receptor. two main anaerobic pathways 1.Lactate Fermentation. Pyruvate from glycolysis is changed to lactate. Muscle cells use lactate fermentaton. After exercise 02 levels in blood increase and lactate is converted to CO2 and H20. 2. Alchohol Fermentation. pyruvate from glycolysis produces ethanol.25
1216423253EnzymesEnzymes are proteins. Highly selective- only interact with substrates that are a match for the active site. Lock and key.26
1216423254Structure and Function of enzymes (2)Induced Fit Model- active site on the surface of the enzyme makes conact with its substrate ( they almost fit, but not quite) the bonding causes changes in the active site and the substrate to make them fit better Transition State- when the enzyme and substrate fit together perfectly the reaction happens much quicker27
1216423255activation energythe minimal amount of energy for a reaction to occur. Enzymes lower the activation energy28
1216423256pH and temp effect on enzymesideal pH for enzymes=7 optimal temps between 20-60 C29
1216423257Control of Enzymes-- Allosteric Enzymes, Feedback inhibitionenzymes allow the cells to control basic cellular functions. inhibitors can bond with enzymes and decrease ability to function Allosteric Enzymes- special sites where substances can bind and alter activity levels Feedback inhibition-enzyme can reverse activity if its producing too much. The end product binds to the original substrate and inhibits production.30
1216423258cofactors in enzyme functionnon protein subtances that have two funtions 1. help enzymes catalyze reactions 2.becoming transfer agents for enzymes Examples: NAD+ (carb breakdown) NADP+ (photosynthesis) metal ions, cytochromes31
1216423259cell divisionCytokinesis= division of cytoplasm Mitosis/Meiosis= nuclear division sexual reproduction begins with meiosis, continues with gamete production, ends with fertilization (sperm and egg nucleus combine into a zygote)32
1216423260Mitosis(PMAT) Pro- chromosomes pair up. have replicated so that parent cell has two complete sets. cell forms two poles and nucleus dissapears Meta-chromosomes align at the poles spindle fibers Ana-sister chromosomes split and go to opposite poles. cell membrane begins to devide Telo-chromosomes reach poles, nuclear membrane reforms, fiber dissapear33
1216423261animal vs plant cytokinesisanimals-occurs in the later stages of mitotsis. Center of cell develops a cleave furrow, contractile filaments pull the membrane apart. plants- have cell plate formation. have mre rigid walls, cant form cleavage furrow. Rather, vesicles form a cell plate instead. cellulose from new cell wall separate creating daughter cells.34
1216423262Meiosissplits two homologous chromosomes (same length, shape, genes) in half. Each gamete gets 1 pair homologous chromsomes. when a germ cell is in interphase,its chromosomes are duplicated by DNA (creates sister chromatids) during meiosis, these homolgous chromosomes swap segments35
1216423263Dipolidtwo homolgous chromosomes36
1216609027Allelesevery gene has a specific location on a chromosome Allele-an alternative form of a gene (one member of a pair) that is located at a specific position on a specific chromosome each allele comes from a parent and is responsible for dominant or recessive trait37
1216609028Homozygotean organism that has two identical alleles for a particular trait38
1216609029mendels law of segregationThe process by which alleles are transmitted. dipoloid organisms inherit a pair of genes for each trait.39
1216609030chromosomea long stringly aggregate of gnes that carries DNA40
1216609031Non duplicated chromosomesingle stranded. hasnt yet done replication. comprised of a centromere region that connects two arm regions (the short arm is the p arm and the long arm is the q arm).41
1216609032telomerethe end region of a chromosome... extra stuff that fills in when something is missing. Repeating non-coding DNA42
1216609033amino acids20 different kinds of amino acids each one is made up of three nucleotide bases (codon) found in DNA43
1219814061codonthree bases (ATGC). Codons are a special code to make an amino acid. There are 64 possible codons.44
1219814062Dihybrid crossbreeding betweeen organisms that dieer in two traits. To heterozygous that cross gives you heterozgous45
1219814063gameteshapoloid reproductive celss that untie during sexual reproduction to form a diploid zygote.46
1219814064homogameticgametes that contain one type of chromosome Ex:ovum47
1219814065heterogametic:gametes that conatin two types of chromosomes Ex: sperm48
1219814066Aneuploidyabnormoal number of chromosomes-- extra or not enough49
1219814067Trisomic and monosomictrisomic- if zygote has an additional chromosome (3) monosomic-if a zygote is missing a chromosome50
1219814068Errors that occur during nondisjunction1. homologous chromsomes dont separte during anaphase 1 of meiosos 2. sister chromatids dont separte during anaphase two of meiosos 251
1219814069klinefelter Syndromemales have extra X chromosome. XXY. caused by non disjunction.52

1219814071Down Syndromenondysjunction in autosomal cell, affecting chromosome 21.54
1219814072daughter chromosomea chromosome that results from the separation of a sister chromtid during cell division. In anaphase sister chromosomes separate to form daughter chromatids.55
1219814073how time is spent in interphase90%56
1219814074Cytokinesis occurs when?telophase57
12200114225 steps of protein synthesis1.Ribosomes send message to nucleus to unzip the part of the DNA needed 2. A Nucleic called mRNA (made up of amino acids and nitrogen) bonds to one of the unzipped strands (the sense strand). TRANSCRIPTION. RNA vs DNA- RNA- uses a ribose sugar instead of deoxyribose sugar as backbone, also doesnt use the base theymine, instead uses uracil DNA- bonds in DNA are double hydrogen bonds, single bonds in RNA 3.copied mRNA strand returns to the ribisome to make protein 4. tRNA collects free amino acids and carries them to the ribosome 5.amino acids make proteins according to the mRNA instructions (THIS IS CALLED TRANSLATION)58
1220011423Phenotype and GenotypePhenotype- what is observed. outward appearance Genotype- genetic makeup. ex- homozygous dom (TT) Heterozygous (Tt) Homozygous recesive (tt)59
1220011424genea stretch of DNA that codes for a trait. A gene codes for a protein which brings about a trait.60
1220011425locuslocation of the gene on the chomosome61
1220011426Allelea varient of a gene. one gene may have multiple alleles. all alleles for the same gene exist at the same locus when a gene has more than two alleles its called multiple alleles. EX; blood type has 3 alleles, IaIb and i. Because a cell can only hold two of these alleles there are many different blood types.62
1220011427how many alleles of a gene does a cell hold?2 alleles of each gene- one from mom and one from dad.63
1220011428Blood Type IaIa or Ia iBlood type A64
1220011429IbIb or Ib iB65
1220011430IaIbAB66
1220011431iiO67
1220011432homozygouswhen two alleles that an indivisual carries are the same AA or aa68
1220011433heterozygouswhen the two alleles an individual carries are different Aa69
1220011434Wild typethe normal allele for an organisms, usually the most prevalent.70
1220011435recessivethe "weak" allele. this allele is expressed if both copies are writte as lower case.71
1220011436Complete DominanceAA-- Dominant Aa-- Dominant aa--recessive72
1220011437Co-DominanceGenotype phenotype AA A AB Both A and B BB B73

1222148184penetrancefrequency that the genotype will result in phenotype. When something is dominant it usually has strong penetrance76
1222148185expressivityto what degree a penetrant gene is expressed.77
1222148186why meiosis is important for genetic variabilitygenetic recombination is the product of independent assortment and crossing over.78
1222148187compare and contrast the different steps of mitosis and meiosisMitosis V Meiosis no tetrads vs. tetrad formation (pairing homologous chroms/crossing over daughter cells identical to parents V daughter cells differ diploid (2n) daughter cells V haploid (1n) daughter cells 1 division V 2 divisions 2 daughter cells V 4 sperm cells or 1 egg79
1222148188segregation of genes ( what is independent asortment)a cell has two copies of each chromosome (homologous C) one from mom and dad. In independednt assortment, these chromosomes are shuffled and one cops is placed into the gamete.80
1222148189The mechanisms of independent assortmentduring metaphase 1 of meiosis, homologous chroms pair up along line in random orientation. During anaphase, the chroms are pulled apart. the ones on the left and right each go to different daughter cells81
1222148190segregation of genes (linkage)- genes on different chromosomes are randomized, those on the same chromosome arent -genes on the same chromosome are somewhat linked -crossing over reduces linkage, but only really works if the genes are farther away from each other -closer genes are, more they are linked.82
1222567659genetic recombinationindependent assortment crossing over- occurs during prophase at chiasma. The chiasma is made possible because of tetrads which are formed through synapsis83
1222567661single cross oversgenetic recombination. chromatids involved exchange alleles at a given locus. results in 2/4 recombinants.84
1222567664double cross overs (3 scenarios)three scenarios- 1.TWO STRAND DOUBLE CROSS no genetic recombination. exchange alleles and then exchange them back (called two strand double crossover, 0/4 recombinants) 2. THREE STRAND DOUBLE CROSS chromatids exchange alleles during crossover, then a crossover chromatid exchanges with anothers. Results in 2/4 recombinants 3. 4 stranded double crossover. 4/4 recombinants85
1227179312sex linked characteristics and cytoplasmic in heritancegenes for characteristics are on the X chromosome. Sex linked alleles are on X.The Y chromosome is small, carries few genes cytoplasmic inheritance- inhertiance of things other than genomic DNA. all cellular oranelles like mitochodria and inherited from mother.86

1236487570protein synthesis (transcription)(genetics) the organic process whereby the DNA sequence in a gene is copied into mRNA137
1236487571protein synthesis (translation)(genetics) the process whereby genetic information coded in messenger RNA directs the formation of a specific protein at a ribosome in the cytoplasm138
1236487572translation(genetics) the process whereby genetic information coded in messenger RNA directs the formation of a specific protein at a ribosome in the cytoplasm aka RNA molecules transported from the nucleus to the protoplasm are used a the templates for making polypeptide chains139
1236487573how transcription differs from DNA replication2 ways- only one sgment of the DNA stran is used (rather than whole strand) Different enzymes, RNA polymerase is active... promoters initiate transcription. The promoter binds with RNA polymerase and moves along the DNA template and joins two nucleotides into an RNA transcript.140
1236487574Translation of Genetic Code (initation)1. initation- and inhibitor starts translation by binding to a small ribosomal unit, which inturn binds to the transcript. Then a large ribosomal unit bonds with a small unit creating a complete ribosome and initiator.141
1236487575Translation of Genetic Code (Chain elongation)2. Chain elongation- a start codon a (base triplet on RNA) defines the frame for assembling amino acids in correct order. RNA then delvers amino acids to the ribosome which forms a polypeptide chain142
1236487576Translation of Genetic Code (chain termination)3.chain termination-a stop codon is reached and the robocome and polypeptide chain are detatched from the RNA transcript. The chain joins the free proteins in the cytoplasm143
1236487577X linked recessive inheritance1. mutated gene falls on X 2. males are typically efected if only possess on alelle and its recessive. Heterozygous females are normial 3. normal male + heterozygous female= 50% chance children will be carriers144
