Cell Anatomy 2
Works as the garbage man of the cell
lysosome
A nucleotide polymer that uses deoxyribose in its sugar phosphate backbone and forms the hereditary material of all life on Earth
Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA)
Contains DNA of the cells
Nucleous
Differences in the alleles among the members of a population
Genetic Variation
An example of a single celled organism
Bacteria
I am the butcher of the cell and I am on the rough ER
Ribosomes
I am like a version of the blue print for life but I am single stranded
RNA
powerhouse of the cell
Mitochondria
What is the role of adaptation in natural selection?
Organisms that are more adapted survive longer and reproduce more often which leads to and increase of genes in the population
or survival of the fittest
Name the 3 parts that make up a nucleotide
a sugar molecule, a phosphate group, nitrogenous base
I am inside of the big boss and have the information for creating ribosomes.
nucleolus
The nitrogenous bases found in DNA
The nitrogenous bases found in RNA
A,G,C,T
A,G,C,U
What is the shape of an animal cell?
Circle
Differential survival and reproductive success among a group of organisms due to differences in the inherited traits or characteristics of the organisms
Natural Selection
When an RNA copy is made of DNA this process is know as
Transcription
What is the difference between eukaryote and prokaryote?
Eu- has a nucleus
Pro-does not have a nucleus
What two types of strands are present during DNA replication
Hint: amoeba sisters
leading and lagging strands
The basic structural and functional unit of life
Cell
A change in a DNA sequence
Mutations
How is the DNA strand held together?
Hydrogen bonds between nitrogenous bases
I am in plant and animal cells. Animal cell have multiple small of me and plant cells have one large.
Vacuole
Hint: the amoeba sisters sheet
5' to 3'
What 2 organelles are found in plant cells but not animal cells?
Cell wall and Chloroplast
Difference among the physical or behavioral characteristics of a group of organisms
Trait Variation
What the 4 of the major key players in DNA replication and what are their roles briefly
Hint: amoeba sisters
Helicase-unzip the two strands
DNA polymerase- the builder, builds a corresponding pair using the strand as a template
Primase- primer that tells you were to start
Ligase-The glue
