What role do protiens play in enabling the amount of DNA in a eukaryotic cell to fit into the nucleas, and what are those protiens called?
The Histones maintain the shape of the cell and wrap the DNA tightly into packaging.
Question 2
What is the picture below called, and how is it used to determine the sex of the person?
Karyotype the last one determines the sex. the karyotype allows us to view the chromosomes and they are all arranged by size and shape.
How are homologous chromosomes similar?
They are the same size and shape and carry the same genetics
The adders tounge fern has more chromosomes that people. what might this suggest?
It may have littler amounts of information and DNA in them, so they may need more to get the right amount of information. The chromosomes may also have nothing to do with the Fern.
Question 5
What are these?
A- chromosome b- centromere c- homolougous pair d- chromatids
List the 5 stages of the cell cycle and what happens in each stage
G1- cell growth s phase- dna is copied g2- grows, prepares for division mitosis- prophase, metaphase, anaphase cytokenisis- cell divides
4 phases of mitosis
Prophase- grow and get larger metaphase- centromere sends out spindle fibers anaphase- the centromeres move twords opposite sides telophase- it splits
Describe cytokenisis in a plant cell
During cytokenisis, it forms a cell plate which turns into the cell wall
What would happen to a cell and its offspring if the cell did not go through g1 phase during the cell cycle?
It would not grow, and then the cell would be to small to be viable.
Question 10
What is this
Telophase
Question 11
What is this?
Metaphase
Question 12
What is this?
Prophase
Question 13
What is this?
Anaphase
Describe 2 ways that genetic recombination can occur during meiosis.
Crossing over and the random seperation of the homologous chromosomes
List 4 phases of meiosis 1 and describe
Prophase- dna colis tightly, nucleolis disassembles, spindle fibers appear. metaphase- tetrads line up and spindle fibers attach to the centromere anaphase- centromeres move to opposite sides telophase- chromosomes are at opposite ends and the new cell contains 2 copies. the nucleolis is reoccuring
