DNA Stands For...
RNA Stands For... -
Deoxyribonucleic Acid
Ribonucleic Acid - Gene Pool
- all of the genes in a population at any given time
- Ovary
-
-main sex organ
-oogenesis
-lifetime supply of eggs
-production of 2 hormones - Endoplasmic Reticulum
-
"Tunnel"
-two types
1. Rough
2. Smooth
-synthensizes and transports proteins - Progesterone
- pregnancy hormone
- Follicle Stimulating Hormone
-
FHS
makes a follicle in the ovary mature - Lutenizing Hormone
- causes rupture of follicle
- Protein
- Geneotype
- genetic make-up
- Heredity
- the transmission of traits from parent to offspring
- Chromosomes
- one line of DNA
- Nucleus
-
"Control Center"
"Brain of Cell
-controls everything happening inside the cell
-has chromasomes-genetic material - Plasma Membraine
-
"Gate Keeper"
lets nutrients in and out
selective (semioermeable) - Mitochindia
-
"Mighty Mitochondris"
-makes ATP-energy!! - Lysosmes
-
"Garbarge Disposer"
-enzymes digest (breaks down) waste - Phenotype
- what you see in a person
- Dominant
- same genes exert their full effect no matter what
- Vacuole
-
"closet"
-stores food and water
-larger in plants than animals - Vestigial Structure
- a structure that seems to have no function but Probably did at sometime
- Recessive
- some genes are "masked" or hidden
- Allele
- differnent for of the same gene
- Estrogen
- Female Hormone
- Fallopian Tube
-
"oviduct" "uterine tube"
-leads eggs to uterus
-egg and sperm meet here - Oogenesis
- the making of an egg
-
Homozygous
(pure) -
two of the same alleles
(BB, bb) - Evolution
- a change over a period of time
- Testostrome
- male hormone
-
Heterozygous
(Hybrid) -
two different alleles
(Bb) - Uterus
-
-size and shape of a pear
-potenial to increase in size
-double lining
1. myometrium-muscle
2. Endometrium-blood vessels - Epididymus
-
just outside testicle
20feet long
sperm matures here - Seminiferous Tubules
-
700 feet long
spermatogenesis - Cell Wall
-
-only in plants
-made up of "crunchy" cellulose - Chlorplasts
-
Phtosynthesis
-only in plants
-contains chlorophill (green pigment) to absorb sunlight - Testes
-
-main sex organ
-located outside the body
-produces sperm - Vas Deference
- semen is add to the sperm a long this 45 foot tube
- Prostate Gland
- Fluid that neutralizes the acidic environment of the vagina
- Theory
- a hypothesis that has been proved more than once
- Scotum
- provides a tempeture of about three degrees coller than body
-
Bulbourthral Gland
-OR-
Cowper's Gland -
-lubercates penis
-cleans the acidic urine
-first to pass through urthrea - Seminal Vessicle
-
Fluid that...
-regulates Ph of semen
-is energy rich
-stimulates musscle contractions in females - Cell
- The basic unit of life
- Spermatogenesis
- the making of sperm
- Comparitive Anatomy
-
-similarites in anatomy suggest a common ancestor
1. homologous
2. Analogous
- Ribosomes
-
-makes proteins
-found in two places
1. by thenselves
2. attavhed to endoplasic reticulum - Homologous Structure
- Same structure, different function
- Golgo Complex
-
"Mail Room"
-Packages and transports cellular products to the plasma membraine - Mutations
- Comparitive Cytology
-
-all living things are made up of cells
-all cells have similar organs - Adaptations
-
Three Types:
1. Structual
2. Functional
3. Behavioral
- Fossils
- remains of a once living organism
- Comparative Biochemesrty
-
-DNA, proteins, enzymes, RNA
-species that have biochemical similarities - Comparitive Embryology
- closely related organism, go through similar stages in their embryonic development
- DNA is located in the _______ of the cell.
- Nucleus
- "U" stands for
- Uracil
- Analogous Structure
- Same function, different function
- "T" stands for
- Thymine
