Question

What is the primary mode of genetic information (IG) transmission during cell division that increases the number of cells while maintaining the same genetic program?

Flip the card
Answer

Mitose is the cell division process that increases cell number while maintaining the same genetic program.

Question

What are the four phases of mitosis?

Flip the card
Answer

The four phases of mitosis are prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase, followed by cytokinesis.

Question

Which process allows for the formation of gametes (spermatozoa and ova) in an adult?

Flip the card
Answer

The process of forming gametes (spermatozoa and ova) in adults is called meiosis.

Question

What happens to the chromatids of each double chromosome during anaphase?

Flip the card
Answer

They separate and move to opposite poles of the cell.

Question

What does the cell cycle include?

Flip the card
Answer

The cell cycle includes the mitosis (division) and the interphase (G1, S, G2 phases).

Question

How many successive divisions make up meiosis?

Flip the card
Answer

Meiosis involvestwo successive divisions: Meiosis I and Meiosis II.

Question

What is the result of DNA replication?

Flip the card
Answer

Two identical DNA molecules, each consisting of one parental and one newly synthesized strand.

Question

In what direction does the synthesis of the neoformed DNA strand occur?

Flip the card
Answer

The synthesis of the neoformed DNA strand occurs in the 5' to 3' direction.

Question

Which enzyme is responsible for unwinding the two DNA strands during replication?

Flip the card
Answer

The enzyme responsible for unwinding the two DNA strands during replication is the helicase.

Question

What is the primary event that characterizes Prophase I of meiosis?

Flip the card
Answer

Pairing of homologous chromosomes to form bivalents, followed by crossing-over.

Question

According to Meselson & Sthal's experiment, how does DNA replicate?

Flip the card
Answer

DNA replicates in a semi-conservative manner. Each parental strand serves as a template for a new, complementary strand.

Question

What is the outcome at the end of Meiosis II?

Flip the card
Answer

Meiosis II results in four haploid cells, each with a single chromatid per chromosome.

Question

What happens during a "mutation faux-sens"?

Flip the card
Answer

A mutation faux-sens results in the substitution of one amino acid for another, altering the protein's structure and function.

Question

What term describes the presence of an extra chromosome in a pair?

Flip the card
Answer

A trisomy is the presence of an extra chromosome in a pair.

Question

What is the key event during Anaphase I of meiosis?

Flip the card
Answer

Homologous chromosomes separate and move to opposite poles.

Question

What is the term for a random variation of one or more nucleotides in a gene?

Flip the card
Answer

A mutation is a random variation of one or more nucleotides in a gene.

Question

Which process ensures the passage from the diploid state (2n) to the haploid state (n)?

Flip the card
Answer

Meiosis ensures the passage from diploid (2n) to haploid (n) state by separating homologous chromosomes during its first division.

Question

What is the primary role of the hippocampus in memory?

Flip the card
Answer

The hippocampus is crucial for the encoding of new memories.

Question

What is the fate of a mutation that occurs in a somatic cell?

Flip the card
Answer

It is transmitted to daughter cells via mitosis, forming a clone of mutated cells. It can lead to cancer if it affects cell division genes.

Question

What is the general name for substances that disrupt the functioning of the central nervous system and can lead to dependence?

Flip the card
Answer

Psychoactive substances disrupt the central nervous system and can lead to dependence.
