BiologyTest(2017) Cheat Sheet (DRAFT) by

Cheat sheet for Mr. Chen's biology test (on Nov. 17th 2017)

This is a draft cheat sheet. It is a work in progress and is not finished yet.

Asexual vs. Sexual

lots of offspring quickly, large colo­nies can form to out-co­­mpete, lots=many may survive if conditions change, less energy
diseas­­e/­m­u­te­­=death, compete for food and space, bad condit­­io­n­=­wiped out
genetic diversity, ext: little energy to mate, more offspring can exist after disaster, int: more protection and care
int: more energy­­/risk to mate, fewer produced, ext: gams,e­­mb­ryos, offs are unprot­ected

DNA

Chromatin
condensed DNA
Chromo­somes
condensed chromatin
Nitrogen bases
"­­steps of DNA"; a with t, c with g
Homologous pairs
chromes that are the same shape, size, have same genetic info in same spot; one from ea. parent

asexual reprod­uction

binary fission
mitosis in prokar­yotes
budding
buds in multic­­elluar can detach through repeated mitosis and form separate org.
frag.
part of multic­­elluar breaks off due to injury and becomes separate org.
veg.
stems, leaves, or roots are used to asex. repro.
spores
spores grow into new org.
 

Mitosis

Interphase
Cell grows and develops/ DNA replic­ation
Prophase
Spindle fibres attach to centro­mer­es/­nuclear membrane disappears
Metaphase
Chromo­somes align at equator
Anaphase
Sister chromatids pulled to poles
Telophase
Fibres disappear/ nuclear membrane re-appears
Cytoke­nisis
contents of cell evenly divides

DNA replic­ation

During late interp­­hase Dna unwinds with enzymes/ bases are paired with new bases.

Fertil­­iz­a­tion: Pros and Cons

external
very little energy mate, lots of offspring, spread widely in evrionment (less comp.)
many gametes die, many eggs aren't fertil­­ized, offspring are unprot­­ected
internal
embryo protected, offspr­­ing's parents will protect
more energy, fewer zygotes, more energy to raise
 

Meiosis

Prophase 1
Homo chromes pair
(crossing over)
Metaphase 1
Homo chromes align on opposite sides of equator
Anaphase 1
Homo chromes pulled to opposite poles
(Indep. assort­ment)
Telophase 1/2
Cell divides into 2 then 4 cells
Anything that's homologous is in meiosis1. Otherwise, it's the same as mitosis.

1st 8 weeks of embryo develo­pment

morula
week 1 (end)
ball of cells
blastula
week 2 (end)
hollow ball of cells, cell can develop to any kind
gastrula
3 layers of cells (diffe­ren­tia­tion)
ecto: skin/ nerves, mes: muscle­­s/­b­ones, end: lungs/­­li­v­e­r/­­dig­­estive system lining
endo+e­cto­=meso

stages of sexual reprod­uction

mating
egg and sperm come together at same time and place
fertil­ization
gametes fuse to create a zygote
develo­pment
embryo develops
