Chapter 3 + 4 Stud Guide

This one's a humdinger. A lot of it is compacted because most points are obvious.

3.1 Meiosis

Meiosis is a specialized form of cell division that produces haploid gametes from diploid parents.

Haploid gametes have half the number of chromosomes. Male gametes: sperm and female: ova.

Stages of meiosis composed of two phases. Meiosis 1 and 2 they produce 4 haploid gametes.

Meiosis 1: interphase - chromosomes replicate and form joined sister chromatids.
Prophase - chromosomes shorten and thicken.
Metaphase - homologous chromosomes pair up along the middle
Anaphase- homologous chromosomes separate and move to opposite poles along with their sister chromatids.
Telophase - similar to mitosis

Meiosis 1 results in 2 daughter cells but each has only 1 of the homologous chromosomes with it's ister chromatid still attached.

Meiosis 2: just like mitosis but starts off with 2 daughter cells.

Section 3.2

Fertilization; fusion of gametes.

Sperm + egg = zygote

Zygote receives half of it's chromosomes from each parent. Each new cell will contain the same genome as the zygote.

Different form of same gene - allele.

Dominant: express it's trait if present
Recessive: only expressed if both chromosomes contain the recessive allele

Incomplete dominance: eg red + white = pink.

Codominance: two sets of instructions but randomly picks one.

Math Exponent GUIDE

Law 1: x^m • x^n is x^m+n
Law 2: x^m/x^n is x^m-n
Law 3: (xy)^m is x^m y^m
Law 4: x^0 is always 1.
Law 5: x^-m is 1/x^m
Law 6: (x/y)^m is x^m/y^m
Law 7: (x^m)^n is x^m•n.

If you didn't know already ^ means 'to the power of.'

Update: New Material

From now on, study guides for my tests and quizzes can be viewed here if anyone would like to print and study. Guaranteed they are 100% straight from me. Any material from an external site will be cited.

Disclaimer and Policy: Assignments, Quiz and Test answers WILL NOT be posted to avoid future plagiarism and cheating for a mark you don't deserve. Any content that I post has not been copied from an external source, if it is however this is because of trouble answering the question. These study guides and key points for quizzes, tests, and assignments ARE NOT GUARANTEED to get YOU a better mark. They are here to GUIDE, hence why it is called a study GUIDE. These guides are not liable for poor marks on tests, it was your choice to follow how I study by reading, so don't cry about your mark. These guides are also not liable for any damage whatsoever to anything at all. These guides are intended for people who are struggling with studying or is unclear on a certain point. These guides are not for people who are lazy and didn't do their work, if you are one of those people, GET YOUR ACT STRAIGHT. Vocabulary lists WILL NOT be posted here and not anywhere by me, if you wish to receive a vocabulary list from me that is a two dollar fee. Thank you.
