Meiosis
Number of chromosomes reduced by half
What is Meiosis ll?
Centrioles move to opposite cell poles, radiate microtubules
What is prophase?
Takes place in chloroplasts
What is photosynthesis?
Make things happen faster by reducing the amount of activation energy needed to get to the transition state
What are enzymes?
Father of genetics who studied patterns of inheritance in garden peas
What is Gregor Mendel?
Crossing over: exchange of genetic information between homologous pairs and non-sister chromatids
What is Prophase l?
growth phase, cell increases in size and metabolism occurs
What is G1 Phase?
Absorb light energy for use in photosynthesis
What are carotenoids?
Enzyme naming
What is
-What it reacts with
-How it reacts
-add -ase ending
Multiple forms of each gene
What are alleles?
Transition to second division, no further replication occurs
What is interkinesis?
Prepares cell for division
What is G2 Phase?
Use solar energy to make their own food
What are autotrophs?
Temperature, pH, Concentration
What are affecting factors of enzyme activity?
What is the Law of Segregation?
Homologous pairs line up on spindle equator
What is Metaphase l?
Chromosomes > Chromatin
Nuclear envelopes re-form
What is Telophase?
Oxygen being released comes from _______
What is water?
Substrates jam themselves into the enzyme which weakens the bond
What is an induced fit?
One gene has multiple effects on phenotype
What is pleiotropy?
Produces 4 haploid daughter cells
What is Meiosis?
Animal cell - pinched in two by protein fibers
Plant cell - separated by production of cell plate
What is Cytokinesis?
Output in light-dependent reactions and input in Calvin Cycle, creating sugar molecules
What is NADPH?
how enzyme activity is controlled
What is
-each cell controls its own cell activity
-control how fast enzyme molecules are built and become available
The allele a gamete receives for one gene does not influence the allele received for another gene
What is the Law for Independent Assortment?
