allele: Alternative form of a gene
interkinesis: Period of time between meiosis I and meiosis II during which no DNA replication takes place
homologue: Member of a homologous pair of chromosomes.
sexual reproduction: Reproduction involving meiosis, gamete formation, and fertilization
zygote: Diploid cell formed by the union of two gametes. the product of fertilization.
synapsis: Pairing of homologous chromosomes during meiosis I.
gamete: Haploid sex cell, egg and sperm.
meiosis: Type of nuclear division that occurs as part of sexual reproduction, in which the daughter cells receive the haploid number of chromosomes in varied combinations.
life cycle: recurring pattern of genetically programmed events by which individuals grow, develop, maintain themselves, and reproduce.
anaphase: Mitotic phase during which daughter chromosomes move toward the poles of the spindle.
angiogenesis: Formation of new blood vessels; one mechanism by which cancer spreads.
apoptosis: Programmed cell death involving a cascade of specific cellular events leading to death and destruction of the cell
asexual reproduction: Reproduction that requires only one parent and does not involve gametes.
aster: Short, radiating fibers produced by the centrosomes on animal cells.
benign tumor: Mass of cells derived from a single mutated cell that has repeatedly undergone cell division but has remained at the site of origin.
binary fission: Splitting of a parent cell into two daughter cells; serves as an asexual form of reproduction in bacteria.
centriole: Cell organelle, existing in pairs, that occurs in the centrosome and may help organize a mitotic spindle for chromosome movement during animal cell division.
Chromatin: Network of fibrils consisting of DNA and associated proteins observed within a nucleus that is not dividing.

cytokinesis: Division of the cytoplasm following mitosis and meiosis.
interphase: Stages of the cell cycle G1, S, G2 during which growth and DNA synthesis occur when the nucleus is not actively dividing.
metastasis: Spread of cancer from the place of origin throughout the body, caused by the ability of cancer cells to migrate and invade tissues.

duplication: Change in chromosome structure in which a particular segment is present more than once in the same chromosome.
Euploidy: Cells containing only complete sets of chromosomes.
gene linkage: Relationship between genes on the same chromosome.
inversion: Change in chromosome structure in which a segment of a chromosome is turned around 180 degrees, this reversed sequence of genes can lead to altered gene activity and abnormalitites

cell signaling pathway: begins when a chemical signal binds to a receptor protein in a target cell's plasma membrane
signal transduction pathway: when the signal causes the receptor protein to initiate a series of reactions, the last reaction activates a transcription activator that enhances the transcription of a specific gene
karyotype: visual display of an individual's chromosomes arranged by pairs
amniocentesis and chorionic villi sampling: provide fetal cells for karyotyping
pedigree: shows the pattern of gene inheritance and the chances of a genetic disorder will be passed on
ex vivo techniques: involve genetic engineering of a patient's cells outside the body
in vivo techniques: involve attempting to alter cells without removing them
various human disorders: result from abnormal chromosome number or structure
karyotyping: reveals changes in chromosome number and chromosome structure based on a change in the normal banding patterns of the chromosome
DNA: is transcribed to give mRNA
DNA ligase: seals DNA into an opening created by the restriction enzyme
DNA replication requires: unwinding, complementary base pairing, and joining
Initiation: mRNA binds to the smaller of 2 ribosomal subunits, larger subunit associates with the smaller one
Joining: the complementary nucleotides join to form new strands. Each daughter DNA molecule contains an old strand and a new strand. Enzyme complex DNA polymerase enzyme DNA ligase seals any breaks in the sugarphosphate backbone
P site: for tRNA attached to a peptide
Plasmid: 2 enzymes are needed to introduce foreign DNA into plasmid
polymerase chain reaction: Chain reaction, requires DNA polymerase, primers, supply of nucleotides
primers: single stranded DNA sequences that start the replication process on each DNA strand
point mutation: change in a single DNA nucleotide
promoter: a region of DNA that contains a special sequence of nucleotides
purines with double ring: adenine and guanine
