cell becomes metabolically active in preperation for DNA replication
synthesis phase
DNA content of the cell is duplicated and may last 6-8 hours
second gap phase (G2)
cell continues to growth, synthesizes proteins and enymes need for cell division, and completes the replication of its centuosome's for admit 4-5 hours
mitosis phase (M)
cell divides into the daughter cells equal DNA content and is the shortest phase up to 2 hours
interphase
the period G1, 5, and G2 are together
cyclin
dependent kinases (CDK) asnd cyclins control molecules which serves as checkpoint between phases
DNA
this is where the cell comes from
cell
basic unit of life
DNA
deoxyribonucleic acid-genetic information
bone marrows
produces the cell through mitosis
Gametes
sex cells
egg cell
female cells
sperm cells
male cells
mitosis
the cell division into two daughter cells
early prophase (metasis phase)
the forming of chromosomes
metaphase (mitosis phase)
the alignment of the chromosomes in the equatorial division
anaphase
separates the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus of a parent cell into two identical daughter cells.
telophase
the process that separates the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus of a parent cell into two identical daughter cells.
later prophase
attachment of microtube to the kinetochore
Gregor Johann Mendel
father of genetics
seven characteristics that george observed:
height
pod shape
pod color
seed shape
seed color
flower color
flower position
allele
variability of a specific gene
heterozygous
combination of different allele
species
group of organism that can interbreed and produce healthy and fertile offspring
taxonomic hierarchy
kingdom
phylum
class
order
family
genius
species
gametophyte (non-vascular phase)
haploid social phase
sporophyte (non-vascular phase)
diploid phase
phloem
transports sugar from leaves to other parts of the plant
animal taxonomy
have 9 major phyla of animals
porifera
are asymmetric aquatic animals with unspecialized cells
echinoderms
are radially asymmetric marine animals with up to 7000 species that include sea cucumbers, starfish, etc
Digestive System
CirculatorySystem distributes absorbed nutrients and carries hormonal signals that control digestion speed
Digestive System
EndocrineSystem produces hormones that regulate digestion
Digestive System
Excretory System works with to eliminate waste
Digestive System
NervousSystem controls the speed of digestive processes
Digestive System
MuscularSystem assists with the movement of food through the digestive tract
Carbohydrates
A large group of organic compounds that includes sugars, starch, and cellulose, containing hydrogen and oxygen in the same ratio as water (2:1) and used as structural materials and for energy storage within living tissues
