SCIENCE

• Is a type of cell division that occurs in sexually reproducing organisms.

  Meiosis
• Is a type of cell division where multicellular organisms undergo growth and development and where they repair damaged tissues.

  Mitosis
• What kind of Meiosis is this?

  Meiosis 1

  
• How many chromosomes does a human have?

  46
• Where cells spend most of their time.

  Interphase
• Process where the homologous chromosomes exchange parts of DNA with each other in their points of contact.

  Crossing over
• Chromosomes move and align themselves at the center of the cell.

  Metaphase
• Two new nuclei form around each set of chromosomes.

  Telophase
• Cell division in mitosis

  Karyokinesis
• It is the longest phase of meitic division.

  Prophase 1
• Equational Division


  Meiosis 2
• Also called inheritance. It is the passing of traits from parents to their offspring. 


  Heredity
• "Father of Genetics"


  Gregor Mendel
• Scientific name of pea plant

  Pisum Sativum
• States that in heterozygous, only the dominant allele will be expressed.

  Principle of Dominance
• Individuals have to copies of each trait, and each parent transmits one of its two copies to its offspring.


  Principle of Segregation
• Pair that determines the character


  Genotype
• Physical manifestation of that character


  Phenotype
• A table in which all of the possible outcomes for a genetic cross between two individuals with known genotypes given.

  Punett Square
• What is the genotypic ratio?

  1:2:1

  
• What is the phenotypic ratio?

  2:2

  
• Is the variety of species in a particular region.

  Species Diversity
• Community of living things that interact with each other and with the environment around them.

  Ecosystem Diversity
• Means all the different living things in the world.

  Biodiversity
• Is a group of living organisms consisting of similar individuals capable of exchanging genes or interbreeding.


  Species
• "Father of Modern Taxonomy"

  Carolus Linnaeus
• System used to categorize and classify organisms into increasingly specific groupings based on their shared characteristics.

  Hierarchal Taxonomic System
• Unicellular prokaryotic organisms that can be found in various envirnments.


  Bacteria
• Includes all eukaryotic organisms, with cells that have true nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles

  Eukarya
• Unicellular prokaryotic organisms can be found in extreme environments, such as hot springs, acidic environments, and deep-sea hydrothermal vents.


  Archea
• What are the Mendelian Principles?

  1. Principle of Dominance
  2. Principle of Segregation
  3. Principle of Independent Assortment
