Marisa Bueggemann: Chapter Summary
Chapter 8 Vocabulary- Marisa Brueggemann
anaphase- Anaphase is the stage of a cell division (mitosis or meiosis) when the chromatids (or homologous chromosomes in meiosis one) are separated and start to move away from each other.
anchorage dependence- In order for a cell to resume its divisions it must be touching something else.
asexual reproduction- New cells are generated through the process of mitosis (or binary fusion in the case of bacteria). These new daughter are exactly the same as the parent cell that divided.
autosome- All the chromosomes in a cell, except for the x or y chromosome (the sex chromosomes).
benign tumor- A tumor that stays in its original location (it has not metastasized).
binary fission- Binary fission is the way bacteria create their offspring (asexually). They …show more content…
density-dependent inhibition- The process in which cells stop dividing since they touch other cells/ surfaces which causes them to not get the adequate growth factors needed for their division.
diploid cell- A cell that is 2n. This cell has all of its chromosomes partnered up with a homologous chromosome.
Down syndrome- A condition that occurs when a person has three 21-chromosomes. Many people with down syndrome have problems with their heart, get lung infections easier, and are likely to eventually get leukemia and Alzheimer's.
duplication- This occurs when part of a chromosome is removed from one chromosome and migrates to another chromosome.
fertilization- This occurs when a sperm combines with an egg to produce a zygote.
gamete- This are the egg and sperm. They are haploid (in humans they only contain 23 chromosomes, while the body cells have 46 chromosomes).
genetic recombination- This is when chromosomes differ from the beginning parental/maternal chromosomes (due to crossing over).
genome- The complete compilation of all of the DNA that offspring get from their
