EOC Vocab List

1. EOC Vocab List #63-125

2. 63 • This type of cell division produces 4 genetically different haploid gametes.

3. 63 • Meiosis

4. 64 • This type of cell division produces 2 genetically identical diploid body cells.

5. 64 • Mitosis

6. 65 • This means that the cell has one complete set of chromosomes with 2 alleles for every gene.

7. 65 • Diploid

8. 66 • This means that the cell has half the original number of chromosomes with 1 allele for every gene.

9. 66 • Haploid

10. 67 • These are chromosomes that contain the same genes but not necessarily the same alleles.

11. 67 • Homologous • (Chromosomes)

12. 68 • This the process that begins in Prophase I of Meiosis that increases genetic diversity.

13. 68 • Crossing Over

14. 69 • This is the first stage of Mitosis in which the spindle forms, chromatin condenses into chromosomes, and the nuclear membrane dissolves.

15. 69 • Prophase

16. 70 • This is the phase of Mitosis where chromosomes are lined up along the equator of the cell.

17. 70 • Metaphase

18. 71 • This is the phase of Mitosis where the sister chromatids are separated and pulled to opposite poles of the cell.

19. 71 • Anaphase

20. 72 • This is the final stage of Mitosis in which the spindle dissolves, chromosomes unwind into chromatin, and the nuclear membrane reforms.

21. 72 • Telophase

22. 73 • This can produce genetic disorders such as Down’s Syndrome if chromosomes do not separate correctly during Meioisis.

23. 73 • Nondisjunction

24. 74 • This organ system is responsible for producing hormones and includes the thyroid and adrenal glands.

25. 74 • Endocrine

26. 75 • This organ system is responsible for filtering the blood and includes the kidneys.

27. 75 • Urinary/Excretory

28. 76 • This organ system is responsible for transporting blood from the heart to all of the other tissues of the body.

29. 76 • Cardiovascular

30. 77 • This organ system is responsible for gas exchange and includes the lungs.

31. 77 • Respiratory

32. 78 • This organ system is responsible for communication of stimuli and coordinating responses within the body.

33. 78 • Nervous

34. 79 • This is the part of the experiment that is purposefully changed and causes the change in the measured variable.

35. 79 • Independent Variable

36. 80 • This is the part of the experiment that is the measured effect of changing the manipulated variable.

37. 80 • Dependent Variable

38. 81 • This is the part of an experiment that is used for comparison because the independent variable is not changed.

39. 81 • Control Group

40. 82 • This is the part of an experiment in which the independent variable is changed.

41. 82 • Experimental Group

42. 83 • This is a different form of a gene.

43. 83 • Allele

44. 84 • This is the segment of DNA that codes for a specific protein.

45. 84 • Gene

46. 85 • This is a compound that contains carbon.

47. 85 • Organic

48. 86 • This is a compound that does not contain carbon.

49. 86 • Inorganic

50. 87 • This is a macromolecule that is used for energy and includes monosaccharides and polysaccharides.
