Document Summary

Cell division: a process by which a parent cell duplicates its genetic material and then divides into 2 similar cells. Important in growth and repair of tissues in multicellular organisms and reproduction: sexual and asexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of 2 specialized cells called gametes (egg and sperm) and results in offspring w considerable genetic variation. Genetic diversity is the raw material for natural selection and evolution: dna info chromosomes (23 chromosomes come from mother and 23 from father to form 46 total, somatic cells are body cells not specialized for reproduction. Contain 2 sets of chromosomes that are called homologous pairs: gametes contain only a single set of chromosomes (one homolog from each pair) and this is called a haploid cell and is denoted by n. After replication, the 2 daughter dna molecules separate and segregate from one another @ opp ends of the cell and cytokinesis (immediately after segregation) occurs making 2 new cells.

Related Questions

1. How does sexual reproduction compare to DNA transfers inprokaryotes?
I. Both increase genetic diversity.
II. Sexual reproduction results in greater evolutionarychange.
III. DNA transfer in prokaryotes allows for fewer errors andmutations.

a. I only

b. I and II

c. I and III

d. I, II, and III

2. What type of receptor is described in the followingparagraph?

Binding of a signaling molecule to this type of receptor uses anenzyme to remove a phosphate group from an ATP molecule to activateanother receptor. The activated receptor can be recognized by relayproteins inside the cell, which bind to the receptor and changeshape. These activated proteins then trigger a transduction pathwaythat leads to some sort of cellular response.

a. intracellular receptor

b. ligand-gated ion channel

c. g protein-coupled receptor

d. receptor tyrosine kinase

3. Yeast cells, plant cells, and mammal cells all share manysimilarities in cell signaling. This provides evidence that

a. cell-signaling mechanisms are only found in organisms that usemethods of sexual reproduction

b. intercellular communication evolved as a way for multicellularorganisms to coordinate cell functions

c. eukaryotic cells use signal transduction pathways whileprokaryotic cells use a more primitive form of signaling

d. signal transduction pathways appeared in cells before theevolution of multicellular organisms

Question 1: For each of the following terms, select the best definition:

gene, phenotype, chromosome, genotype, allele, genome

2.DNA that provides the instructions for synthesizing various types of small RNA molecules1.The complete set of genetic material in a cellan observable trait (or traits) of an organism

3.DNA that provides instructions for building a proteina variant of a gene

4.DNA of no known function

5.The genetic composition that underlies a trait (or traits)

6.A single molecule of DNA & its associated "helper" molecules

7.The portion of DNA that controls when and where proteins are synthesized

Question 2: Fill in the blank with these terms: dependent variable, independent variable, y-axis, x-axis

Understanding graphs is an important skill in science, since being able to visually depict data is often useful for identifying patterns, and can sometimes be the only tool for easily evaluating whether or not the data supports your hypothesis. When viewing a graph, the______ is plotted on the______, and the______we are measuring is plotted on the_____. For example, in one of the photosynthesis experiments last week, temperature was the______, while the size of the bubble at the end of the experiment was the_____
