Macromolecules
All living and non-living matter is made of _______.
atoms
This determines if you are a male
having a Y chromosome
The process in which gametes are produced
meiosis
The fluid like substance that surrounds all the cell parts
cytoplasm
These are cells without a nucleus
bacteria, prokaryotes
The subunits of DNA and their function
nucleotides that store information
Genetic variation through meiosis may occur through these processes
crossing over, independent assortment
This is the number of cells produced by mitosis
2
This organelle is responsible for sorting and packaging proteins
Golgi Body
These are small rings of DNA that can be exchanged between bacterial cells
plasmids
This type of organic molecules are enzymes
proteins
This is change in the nucleotide sequence of the DNA
mutation
An organism has a diploid chromosome number of 52, how many chromosomes will be present in the zygote
52
This organelle is covered with ribosomes and plays an important role in the synthesis and modification of proteins
rough ER
In these cells, chromosomes are enclosed by a membrane, forming a nucleus.
eukaryotes
The four major macromolecules
lipids, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, proteins
The 1st 22 pairs of chromosomes that do not differ in males and females
autosomes, somatic cells, diploid
These are the 4 phases of mitosis/meiosis
PMAT: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase. PMAT x 2 in meiosis
These 4 cell parts are found in ALL cells (prokaryotes and eukaryotes)
Cell Membrane /Plasma Membrane - the structure that allows materials such as food, water, and waste into or out of the cell
Cytoplasm - a fluid material that holds the other cellular materials in place
Nucleic Acids - DNA and RNA; the genetic material of the cell
Ribosomes - the sites of protein synthesis
This type of population growth is called exponential growth.
J-curve
Catalase would be composed of this subunit
amino acids
A white mouse (whose parents are both white) produces only brown offspring when mated with a brown mouse. The white mouse is most likely ______.
homozygous recessive
Suppose that an organism X has a somatic cell that consists of 60 chromosomes, how many chromosomes does that organism's gametes have
30
The liver is an organ in the body whose function is to take toxins out of the body. Which organelle would the liver likely be rich in
smooth ER
This theory states that all living things are made of one or more cells, cells are the basic unit of structure and function in organisms, and all cells arise from existing cells.
Cell theory
