Mitosis & Meiosis

• Mitosis is associated with asexual reproduction, this is when there is one replication and one division of the chromosome (produces an exact copy of parent cell)
• Meiosis is associated with sexual reproduction, this is when an organism is formed by the coming together of two gametes to form an offspring

Mitosis & Meiosis

• Mitosis produces 2 diploid cells and there are many different ways it can happen, like budding, sporulation, binary fission, etc.
• Meiosis produces 4 haploid cells and splits the number of chromosomes but it goes back to normal during fertilization

Punnett Squares

• Punnett squares use a graphical way of finding combinations of genotype that occur in offspring
• They can be very useful when determining the chance of genetic disorders in children

Pedigree Diagrams

• Pedigrees are diagrams that use symbols to determine a phenotype from one generation to the next
• Darkened squares or circles represent someone who has the specific genotype or is affected by a certain disorder

Homeostasis (active transport)

• Homeostasis is the way our bodies regulate variables
• Active transport is when cells use energy to move things across the cell
• It is needed for homeostasis because it makes sure our body doesn't go under any major changes

Homeostasis (passive transport)

• Passive transport doesn't require any energy from the cell
• Two types: osmosis and diffusion
• Sometimes our cells energy needs to be used more abundantly and frequently than just for homeostasis

Macromolecules

• Macromolecules are necessary for life
• They include carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins

Macromolecules

• They play a critical roll in the function of a cell
• They are responsible for the survival of the cell
• The monomers are what are capable of building on to things within the cell and the final product is called a polymer
