Cellular Growth and Reproduction -Cell Division *Cells only originate from preexisting cells -Chromosomes/Chromatids -Cell Cycle Phases of the cell cycle (order and what happens in each) Mitosis (order of phases/main point of each phase) Cytokinesis Cell cycle checkpoints (where and why) Ploidy/diploid vs haploid / somatic cells vs gametes Meiosis (order of phases/main point of each phase) Mitosis vs Meiosis Crossing over Homologous Chromosomes Nondisjunction (what it means, what it results in) Genetics -Alleles Heterozygous vs homozygous/ dominant vs recessive -Mendel's “laws” Law of segregation Law of independent assortment -Crosses Punnett squares P/F1/F2/etc generations Incomplete dominance Codominance Polygenic Inheritance Linked genes Molecular Genetics - DNA Structure - DNA replication Semiconservative G:C ; T:A -Transcription mRNA -Translation Triplet code/codons Ribosomes/rRNA/tRNA -Mutations Substitutions Insertions Deletions Frame shifts
