Important Terms and Concepts
Lecture 1: Mitosis & Meiosis
Phenotype
Genotype
Genetic information is encoded DNA in genes carried on chromosomes; many
genes on each chromosome
Karyotype
Homologous chromosomes
Centromere
Structure of eukaryotic chromosomes: naked DNA wound around histones to
form nucleosomes (beads-on-a-string), solenoid or 30-nm chromatin fibre, looped
domains
Genome: the total complement of genetic material (DNA) in an organism's cells
Cell cycle: G1, S, G2, M
In which phase of the cell cycle is DNA replicated?
Stages of mitosis (asexual reproduction): interphase, prophase, metaphase,
anaphase, telophase
Position of chromosomes and stages of condensation in each stage
Sister chromatid, spindle fibre, centrioles
Sexual reproduction: diploid (2N), haploid (1N)
Fundamental differences between mitosis and meiosis: pairing of homologous
chromosmes in meiotic division 1; two cell divisions
Why sex? - Generates genetic diversity; How? - By segregation of different
combinations of chromosomes & by crossing-over of genetic material from one
homologous chromosome to another; chiasmata
Lecture 2: Patterns of Inheritance
Mendel's experiments with the common garden pea
Trait
True-breeding varieties
Self-fertilization
Cross-fertilization
P, F1, and F2 progeny
Dominant versus recessive traits
Allele
Punnett square
Homozygote
Heterozygote
Test-cross
Locus (pl. loci)
Mendel's First Law of Heredity: segregation of traits (no blending of traits)
Mendel's Second Law of Heredity: independent assortment of traits
