Flashcards
Cytokinesis
Cytokinesis
The process where a cell divides its cytoplasm to create two daughter cells.
Stain
Stain
A substance used to enhance visibility of cells under a microscope.
Total Magnification
Total Magnification
The total magnification of a microscope is achieved by multiplying the magnification of the objective lens by the magnification of the eyepiece.

Study Notes
Cell Cycle
- Interphase: DNA is copied
- Cytokinesis: the cell divides into two, with two nuclei being formed and a spindle being formed, and the nuclear membrane breaks down
Microscopy
- To make plant cells more visible on a microscope slide, a stain can be added
- The total magnification of a microscope with a 10x eyepiece lens and a 40x objective lens is 400x
- The microscope part that can be moved to obtain a clear image of plant cells is the stage
Inheritance Patterns
- Sickle cell disease is a recessive genetic disorder in humans
- A person with the genotype dd will have sickle cell disease, while a person with the genotype DD or Dd will not
- If two parents are heterozygous for sickle cell disease (Dd), the probability that their children will have sickle cell disease is 25%
- If a father has the genotype dd and a mother has the genotype DD, none of their children will have sickle cell disease because they will all inherit a dominant D allele from their mother
