Photosynthesis
What is an example of a plant that is pigmented by carotenoids?
carrots (or any orange plant)
What is the purpose of mitosis?
produce another identical cell
How many cells are produced after meiosis II, and how many chromosomes do each have?
4 haploid cells (23 chromosomes)
What kind of cancer is found in the spleen?
lymphoma
What is an example of an allele that is codominant?
blood type
Plants emit something that can boost the immune system... what is it?
phytokins
Describe the difference in mitosis in plant and animal cells.
During cytokinesis, plant cells have a cell plate while animal cells have a cleavage furrow.
During which stage of meiosis do homologous chromosomes separate?
anaphase I
What kind of cancer is skin cancer that can spread to other organs?
malignant carcinoma
25%
What color(s) are reflected in a plant that has chlorophyll?
green
How many chromosomes do humans have?
46 chromosomes (23 pairs)
In which phase do chromosomes duplicate?
interphase
If a cancer patient takes a drug to stop cells from excessively dividing, what kind of treatment are they receiving?
chemotherapy
If mom is heterozygous dominant for type A blood, and dad has type AB blood, what possible blood types could their children have?
A, AB, B
If a plant is missing thylakoids, what stage of photosynthesis cannot take place?
light dependent reactions
In which stage of mitosis do chromosomes separate into sister chromatids?
anaphase
Describe independent assortment.
segregation of alleles for one trait does not affect the segregation of alleles for another
true, benign tumors don't spread
Mom = recessive for blue eyes, homozygous dominant for tall
Dad = heterozygous dominant for brown eyes, heterozygous dominant for tall
What is the probability that their child has blue eyes and is tall?
50%
What three reactants go into the Calvin Cycle?
NADPH, ATP, CO2
How many cells are produced in mitosis, and how many chromosomes do each have?
2 cells, each with 46 chromosomes
List the steps of meiosis II and what happens in each step.
prophase II- spindle forms
metaphase II- chromosomes align at metaphase plate
anaphase II- sister chromatids separate
telophase II- cytokinesis
What two rules of cell division do cancer cells break?
1. cell division is anchorage dependent
2. cells division has density dependent inhibition
daughter carrier- 100%
son hemophilia- 0%
