Cell Structure and Function
Pectin and hemicellulose are synthesized here
golgi apparatus
Display of the chromosomes pair of a cell arranged by size and shape.
karyotype
Mutations that can be inherited
Germline mutations
An organism that is unable to synthesise one or more essential growth factors. Will only grow if that factor is provided.
Auxotroph
Name given to any eukaryote that is not a plant, animal or fungus.
protist
Step of calvin cycle/carbon fixation where high energy molecules are formed
what prevents the unwinding and degradation of DNA during replication
single stranded binding protein (ssbp)
Organisms with easily manipulated genes, that can be raised in a controlled environment
model organism
Method of asexual reproduction used by prokaryotes
Binary Fission
Space between inner and outer membrane of nuclear envelope
Perinuclear space
Digestive enzymes which can break contents within food vacuoles down
Hydrolytic Enzymes
chromatids per cell after meiosis I
46
InDels
A genus of retroviruses that cause deadly diseases in mammals.
Lentivirus
Selective Toxicity
A large molecule consisting of a small core protein with many carbohydrate chains attached, found in the extracellular matrix of animal cells.
Proteoglycans
Selection in which the evolutionary success of a phenotype depends on how common the phenotype is in a population.
frequency-dependent selection
when differentiated cells contain all the DNA required to build a new organims
Genomic Equivalence
Growth of bacteria which gives access to phenotype
Culture Dependent Methods
Used to reprogram adult skin cells
Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs)
Linkage of a mechanism, chemical, or electromagnetic stimulus to a specific cellular response.
Signal Transduction
Aberration in chromosomal structure, resulting from attachment of a chromosomal fragment to a nonhomologous chromosome
translocation
What is used when the sequence of foetal DNA cannot be determined from the maternal cfDNA?
Synthetic DNA pieces (linkers)
Siderophores relate to this stage of Microbial Pathogenesis
Invasion of host cell
State of a population in which frequencies of alleles and genotypes remain constant from generation to generation, provided that only Mendelian segregation and recombination of alleles are at work
Hardy-Weinburg Equilibrium
