Genetics and cell signalling 2025-12-12
Across
- nuclei start to reform, chromosomes relax, microtubules degrade
- dominance pattern of A and B blood types
- one-trait cross
- DAG and IP3 are produced by cleavage of _____ C.
- chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
- A ______ cascade amplifies a signal, often resulting in a geometric increase in the number of activated molecules
- A way for cells to die in an organized fashion
- where the expression of one gene is masked or modified by one or more other genes at different loci
- Phase in mitosis where chromatin condenses, nucleolus disappears, centromeres move apart, mitotic spindle starts to form
- ______ dominance when neither allele for a trait is fully dominant, resulting in a heterozygous offspring with a phenotype that is a blend of the two parents.
- two-trait cross
- When a ligand binds to a _______ ion channel receptor, the channel opens, allowing specific ions to travel into the cell
Down
- mechanisms to prevent the cell entering the next phase if it’s not ready
- _____ cyclase, an enzyme embedded in the plasma membrane that converts ATP to cAMP in response to an extracellular signa
- ______ is passed down a pathway, NOT the original signalling molecule.
- Mendel’s Law of independent _____ states that alleles of different genes get sorted into gametes independently from each other
- nuclear envelope degrades, spindles attach to chromosomes at centromere
- Calcium ions are _____ transported out of the cell, into the ER, and into the mitochondria
- ______ segregation: when chromosomes or DNA strands aren't randomly distributed during cell division

- sister chromatids separate, dragged by microtubules
- when both alleles for a trait express simultaneously
- levels in the blood and extracellular fluid are often 1000x higher than in the cytosol
- Mendel’s Law of _____ states that during gamete formation, the two alleles for a trait separate, so each gamete receives only one allele, ensuring offspring get one allele from each parent.
