Bio 311D Concept Map

The dynamics of biological systems are shaped by intricate interactions at various levels, from cells to ecosystems. Chromosomes, fundamental carriers of DNA, play a crucial role in heredity and species diversity.

Bio 311D Concept Map

Population Regulation

Annual Growth Rate

BR - DR / 10

Environmental Resistance

Factors that oppose population growth
Adverse Weather Conditions
Emmigration
Insufficient food
Predations & Pathogens
Diseases

Biotic Potetial

Factors that promote population growth
defense mechanisms
ability to withstand adverse conditions
Rate of reproduction

Carrying Capacity

the maximum individuals of a population that an environment's resources can support

Species Interactions

Competition

Predation

Resource Partitioning

slight variations in niche that allow species to coexist

Mutualism

limits geographical distribution
soil type
predators and pathogens
competition
precipitaton
temperature

Energy Flow in Ecosystems

Living Organisms

Detritivores
Consumers
Tertiary
Secondary
Primary
Produceers
productivity

Primary Prodcutivity

Net Primary Productivity=Gross primary productivity - plant respiration

Ecosystem

group of plants & animals interconncected by energy and mineral flow

Speciation

Adaptive Radiation

development of new species from common ancestor due to adaptations to different environments

Polyploidy

Examples: Tragopogon & Triticum
Unreduced gametes
Hybrids

Tetraploid

May result in new species
State of having more than 2 sets of chromosomes

The Chromosome Complement

Chromosomal Nondisjunction

Monosomics
Trisomics
Down Syndrome

Diploid

2 sets of chromosomes; one inherited from each parent

Gametes

Autosomes

First 22 pairs of chromosomes

Sex Chromosomes

23rd Pair of Chromosome (XX or XY)

Chromosomes: contain DNA

Life Cycle & Meiosis

Main topic

Mitosis

form of asexual reproduction
single cell division

2 identical daughter cels

Meiosis

gurantees continuity of genetic information from 1 generation to another
Subtopic
Meiosis II
no homologous chromosomes

Chromatid disjunction

4 haploid daugheter cells

Meiosis I
starts with bivalent chromosomes

Anaphase: Chromosome disjunction

2 haploid daugher cells

form of sexual reproduction
2 consecutive cell divisions
