Genetics
is the study of heredity and variation
Heredity
is the transmission or inheritance of traits
Traits
is the seen or unseen characteristics
Traits has 2 type :
Genotype
and
Phenotype
Genotype
: determined by the information that genes contain
Phenotype
: visible traits
Genes
: unit of inheritance and the biological code
"
Genos
" : meaning "
offspring
" "
race
" "
Stock
"
Variation
: the differences of things
Gregor Johann Mendel
is the father of genetics
Cell
: Is the smallest structure and functional unit of an organism
Unicecullar
: one or single cell
Multicellular
: numerous cell
Cell membrane
or
Plasma membrane
: It is a selectively
permeable membrane of the cells, which is composed of a lipid bilayer and proteins.
Nucleus
: control center of the cellular
activities
Cytoplasm
: They are jelly-like substances, found between the
cell membrane
and nucleus.
Endoplasmic Reticulum
:They are the transport system of the cell, involved in transporting materials throughout the cell.
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
– They are
composed of cisternae, tubules, and vesicles, which
are found throughout the cell and are involved in
protein manufacture.
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
– They are the
storage organelle, associated with the production of
lipids, steroids, and also responsible for detoxifying
the cell.
Mitochondria
: are the
powerhouse of the cell,
Golgi
Apparatus
: packages proteins and lipids for storage or transport out of the cell.
Lysosomes
: breaking down waste materials and cellular debris,
Ribosomes
: are tiny structures that are responsible for protein synthesis, translating genetic information from RNA into proteins.
Centrioles
The centrioles are cylindrical structures found in animal cells.
Vacuoles
are mostly defined as storage
bubbles of irregular shapes which are found
in cells.
Cell Division
Is a process of reproducing cells.
Original cell :
Parent
cell
More cell :
Daughter
cell
Deoxyribonucleic Acid
- controls all cell activities
Long thread-like DNA-
chromatic
Doubled, coil DNA -
chromosomes
chromatid
- one of the two identical halves of a chromosome
centromere
- place where the cell's spindle fibers attach
The cell cycle :
Interphase
and
M phase
Interphase
- is the longer stage
Interphase stages:
First
gap
phase
synthesis phase
second
gap
phase
G1
- cell grows larger
S phase
- synthesizes a complete copy of the DNA
G2
- the grows more and makes protein and organelles
Mitosis
- known as M phase
Mitosis
- it divides the cell to make 2 new cell
