Photosynthesis | The Cell Cycle | Meiosis & Sexual Life Cycles | Mendel & The Gene | Chromosomal Basis of Inheritance |
---|---|---|---|---|
Red and Blue
These two colors of light are the most efficient in producing energy from photosynthesis
|
Chromatin
The formation of this process allows the genetic material to be organized within the cell.
|
Gametes
These are reproductive cells transmitting genes from generation to generation
|
Allele
This refers to the alternative versions of genes
|
Loci
This is referred to as the specific location of a gene on a chromosome.
|
Light Reactions and The Calvin Cycle
These two processes take place during photosynthesis
|
Interphase
This phase constitutes 90% of the cell cycle
|
Karyotype
This displays condensed chromosomes arranged in pairs, it is useful for screening for defective or abnormal numbers
|
Homozygous
This term refers to a pair of identical alleles
|
Wild type
This term is used to describe the phenotype for a character most commonly occurring in natural population
|
O2, ATP, NADPH
These three products come out of the light reaction process of photosynthesis
|
Cleavage Furrow
During Cytokinesis, this is a contractile ring of actin microfilaments to pinch off the new cells.
|
Crossing Over
This mechanism of variation occurs during Prophase I and produces recombinant chromosomes
|
The Law of Segregation
This law refers to 2 alleles for a heritable character separating from each other during gamete production thus ending up in different gametes
|
50 percent
When the percentage of parental phenotypes is above this percent, the genes are considered linked
|
G3P
This product of the Calvin Cycle is used as a starting point for the synthesis of other carbohydrates.
|
Maturation-Promoting Factor
This Cdk-cyclin complex that stimulates the cell cycle to go from G2 into the M phase is known as?
|
Sexual Reproduction
This type of reproduction involves a single individual passing on all genes to offspring with fusion of gametes. This results in a clone
|
Pedigree
This chart is a collection of genetic info about a family’s history for a trait that is put into a family tree describing traits across generations
|
Hemizygous
This term refers to having only 1 copy of an allele for expression
|
Carotenoids
This pigment can be shades of yellow & orange to help broaden range of colors driving photosynthesis
Also Photoprotect – absorb & dissipate excessive light energy |
Kinetochores
During Metaphase, microtubules attach to these on chromosomes.
|
Chiasmata
This is the site of crossing over between non sister chromatids
|
Incomplete dominance
This degree of dominance is when alleles aren’t completely dominant, producing a phenotype between 2 parents
|
Muscular Dystrophy
This disease is known for the progressive weakening of the musculature caused by the absence of a key muscle protein. (This is a well known X-linked disorder)
