A-LEVEL PE (OCR): PAPER 3 - Ethics and Deviance in Sport

These flashcards describe key performance-enhancing methods, including blood doping—a technique used to increase red blood cell count and oxygen-carrying capacity, commonly by endurance athletes—and anabolic steroids, which boost strength, aggression, and training capacity. They highlight how these methods aim to enhance performance, often through artificial physiological manipulation.

Animal Behaviour - Applied Cat Ethology

In applied cat ethology, behavioural genetics are primarily inherited through the paternal line. This means certain behavioural traits, such as temperament or sociability, can be strongly influenced by the genetics of the sire (father).

Which is the best material to study meiosis?
Pollen mother cell
What change occurs in number of chromosomes at the end of meiosis I ?
Chromosome number reduces to half
What change occurs in dna content at the end of meiosis I ?
DNA content remains the same as parent
At the end of meiosis II what happens to dna and chromosomal content?
Dna content reduces to half and chromosome number remains same as meiosis I
Following DNA replication in S-phase, the DNA content becomes 4c and a pair of sister chromatids are formed from each chromosome. What is the number of chromosomes? Why?
The number of chromosomes is 2n before and after DNA replication because a pair of sister chromatids is counted as one chromosome. So even when DNA content doubles leading to the formation of sister chromatids in each chromosome, chromosome number remains the same.
The chromosome number in a diploid cell (2n) remains the same (2n) even after replication of DNA in S-phase, then how do the two cells formed at the end of mitosis have 2n chromosomes each?
When DNA replicated each chromosome develops a pair of sister chromatids. The chromosome is still counted as a single chromosome (with a pair of sister chromatids). When the cell undergoes M phase, the sister chromatids separate and so each daughter cell has 2n ploidy.
How many chromatids does diploid cell (2n) have?
2n

4n
How many arms does y chromosome have?
