7564538666mitosiscell division, ends in two identical daughter cells0
7564538667mitotic index equationnumber of cells containing visible chromosomes/total number of cells in the field of view1
7564538668prophasechromosomes condense and become visible, nuclear membrane breaks down2
7564538669metaphasechromosomes line up in middle on metaphase plate3
7569488037anaphasechromosomes separate4
7569494870telophasenuclear membrane appears (visible line down the middle)5
7569498416meiosisgamete production, results in cells with the haploid number of chromosomes6
7569502255homologous chromosomes7
7569506137sister chromatids8
7569506945centromerewhere the sister chromatids are connected9
7569509054eukaryoteshave organelles, undergo mitosis for growth and repair10
7569513291plant buddingan offspring created through asexual reproduction by branching off of the parent11
7569520577prokaryotesdo not have organelles and undergo binary fission, bacteria12
7569521995binary fissionsimilar to mitosis, a single chromosome is replicated and split into two cells13
7569528211sexual reproduction createsgenetic diversity14
7569528785independent assortmentthere are multiple equally probable chromosome arrangements15
7569532962to determine the number of possible chromosomal combinations2^n16
7569535598independent assortment applies tonon-homologous chromosomes17
7569537155crossing overnon sister chromatids exchanging DNA segments during meiosis18
7569545413recombinant chromosomesindividual chromosomes that carry genes derived from two different parents19
7569549687random fertilizationthe combination of each unique sperm with each unique egg increases genetic variability20
7569561816hypothesisif the IV is modified in this, then this will happen to the DV21
7569568089the independent variable is the one beingmodified22
7569569730control is tested forcomparison23
7569569731to find the degrees of freedomsubtract 1 from the number of categories24
7569574885if there is no significant difference that means the only difference is due tochance and sampling errors25
7569579545in the SEM when the error bars overlap (+/- 2 SEM) we say that the data's difference isinsignificant26
7569587564in the SEM when the error bars don't overlap (+/- 2 SEM) we say that the data's difference issignificant27
7569594732in the median, the whiskers are NOTerror bars28
7569596165whiskers are not error bars because the whiskers only representa small portion of the data (the extremes)29
7569609614when comparing multiple tests for SEM, compare the tests to thecontrol30
7569641343+/- 1 SEM represents68%31
7569641344+/- 2 SEM represents95%32
7569642404+/- 3 SEM represents99%33
7569644749the null hypothesissuggest that there is no difference between the observed and expected34
7569646153p-valueindicates whether or not the difference is significant or not35
7569653647p > 0.05accept the null hypothesis, this means the difference is small between the values therefore there is a GREATER probability that the difference is due to chance and sampling errors36
7569660522p < 0.05 0.01 < p < 0.05 p < 0.05reject the null hypothesis, this means the difference is big between the values therefore there is a SMALLER probability that the difference is due to chance and sampling errors37
7569669753law of segregationeach allele separates into different gametes38
7569674241dihybrid crossa cross between two organisms that are heterozygous for two genes39
7569676669monohybrid crossa cross between two organisms that are heterozygous40
7569724874apply the addition rule tomutually exclusive events41
7569727476mutually exclusive eventscannot happen at the same time (an organism cannot be homozygous dominant and recessive at the same time)42
7569729582apply the multiplication rule toseparate, individual events43
7569740102natural selectionorganisms with advantageous heritable traits have a higher chance of surviving and reproducing44
7569744761evolution occurs on a ... not an individualpopulation45
7569748056evolution can only occur if the allele (mutation)already exists in small frequencies46
7569769711selective pressurean environmental change occurs where small frequency alleles become the dominant (most common) allele47
7569776989directional selectiona change occurs so the extremes have a better fitness then the dominant population48
7569782868fitnessorganisms ability to survive and reproduce49
7569809631stickleback fish without spines can have the same genetic code as stickleback fish with spines becausegenes have regulatory switches that allow them to be expressed50
7569814078evolution can repeat itselfif the organisms are put under the same selective and life-challenging conditions51
7569832374cytokinesisseparates the cells at the end of meiosis or mitosis52
7569841146somatic cellsany cells in the body other than reproductive cells53
7569842242autosomesall chromosomes except the sex chromosomes54
7569843972haploidone set of chromosomes55
7569846414diploidcontaining two complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent56
7569851993during interphase, the genetic material isdispersed into the nucleus57
7571486162what does not occur when dividing bacteriamitosis58
7571495722how many genes are present in the human genometens of thousands59
7571498116locusthe precise location of a gene on a chromosome60
7571505300tetradsa set of homologous chromosomes61
7571516922if an organism is n=4 and undergoes meiosis, there will be ... tetrads462
7571612324ignoring crossover how many kinds of gametes can be produced with a diploid number of 44 (2^2)63
7571628260the major contribution of sex to evolution is thatit provides a method to increase genetic variation64
7571635707why is sexual reproduction advantageous over asexual reproductionenergetically, sexual reproduction is more costly, but sexual reproduction leads to different combinations of alleles that could provide adaptability in an environment65
7571684733when gametes meet a ... is createdzygote66
7571688923females have homologous chromosomesXX67
7571688924males have homologous chromosomesXY68
