Mitosis vs. Meiosis
Mitosis starts with what kind of cell? in terms of ploidy
Diploid
diploid
What stage of the cell cycle will have the development of more organelles and genetic material? (getting ready for DNA replication, but not quite there yet)
G1
Meiosis shows in what kind of cells?
Gametes: sperm or egg
What is the process of converting nitrogen into ammonia for use?
Nitrogen fixation
What process uses sexual reproduction
Meiosis
A cell with 2 dominant or 2 recessive alleles is considered what
homozygous
What stage of the cell cycle will have the splitting of the parent cell into two daughter cells
Cytokinesis
You do an amniocentesis on a pregnant patient in the hospital. The geneticist reports XY chromosomes at position 23. You tell the patient they are having a what?
Boy
Glycosis is the only process in cellular respiration that is considered what
anaerobic
What phase of Mitosis looks like a normal cell? (not much difference than a parent cell)
Prophase
The centromere of a chromosome holds together what? individual arms of the chromosome
Chromatids
What phase of the cell cycle has a tetraploid cell
Interphase
A family comes into your office seeking genetic counseling regarding their soon to be born child. They know its a boy so they know they will get most of the dads qualities, but you tell them they'll actually get most of the traits from the mom. Why?
The X chromosome has significantly more genes than the Y chromosomes
What kind of passive transport is the movement of solute
diffusion
Crossing over is an important phenomenon for what process?
Meiosis
Chromosomes that do not determine gender are called what kind of chromosomes
Autosomal
What phase of the cell cycle will prepare for mitosis or meiosis?
G2
What are the odds that a White flower and a heterozygous Red flower will produce a white flower?
Red = Dominant
50%
What are the 3 parts of a nucleotide
nitrogenous base, sugar (ribose or Deoxyribose), phosphate tail
How many daughter cells are produced in the end product of mitosis and meiosis
2 for mitosis
4 for meiosis
karyotype
What kinds of cells will undergo the cell cycle
All of them
A mother recently had a girl. The mom worries that the girl will have a similar burn mark on her arm. The mom got the mark last week at the family cookout. You tell her that the daughter won't have the burn mark because those skin cells divide by what process?
Mitosis (i.e. not sexual reproduction) (looking back this one was kinda hard)
The hydrophilic heads on the outside
The hydrophobic tails on the inside
