Biodiversity
Variety or differences amongst living organisms
What is biodiversity?
A process that produces sperm and ovum cells
What is MEIOSIS?
A threadlike structure that carries genes on it
What are CHROMOSOMES?
The building blocks for proteins
What are AMINO ACIDS?
This is a two step process
What is Gene Expression?
Specific variation of a gene
What is an allele?
Known as gametes these cell only have half the number of chromosomes
What are HAPLOID cells?
A large organelle that stores and protects DNA
What is a the nucleus of the cell?
An organic compound that can be an antibody, chemical messenger and an enzyme
What is a protein?
The first step of gene expression
What is transcription?
A gene whose affects are EXPRESSED in an offspring
What is a DOMINANT gene?
This process fuses gamete cells
What is FERTILIZATION?
This is the NUMBER of pairs found in each human cell.
There are 23 pairs of chromosomes?
This macromolecule contains the instructions for creating proteins
What is DNA?
The second step of gene expression
What is TRANSLATION?
A gene that is MASKED in an offspring
What is an RECESSIVE gene?
The generation that provides the gametes cells are notes as this on the punnet square
Who are the PARENTS?
All of the genetic material found in a cell
What is GENOME?
The place in the cell where the proteins are produced
What is the cytoplasm?
What is the product of the first step?
What is RNA?
Sexual reproduction, gene flow and mutation
What are causes of genetic variation?
The second generation that inherits the traits are notes as this on the punnet square
Who are the OFFSPRING?
One of the pairs of nucleotide bases
What are base pairs?
The organelle that makes the protein
What is the ribosome?
The product of the second step
What are AMINO ACIDS?
