Mutations
A change in this can cause a mutation
DNA base sequence
Allows molecules to move in and out of the cell
What is the cell membrane?
What is a restriction enzyme?
This is a piece of DNA that contains instructions for producing a trait in an organism
What is a 'gene'
The 4 bases of DNA
What are A, T, C and G?
These cells can pass on mutations to offspring
What are gametes?
Molecules moving from high to low concentration
What is diffusion?
This is the tool/technique that creates DNA fingerprints
This part of the cell has genetic information.
What is the nucleus?
The 4 bases of RNA
What are A, U, C and G?
The production of these can be affected by DNA mutations
Where photosynthesis takes place
What is the chloroplast?
Human insulin is produced by this lab technique.
What is genetic engineering?
Place these structures in order from smallest to largest: gene, cell, chromosome, nucleus
gene, chromosome, nucleus, cell
These cut, copy and paste DNA molecules
What are enzymes?
These are the 3 types of mutations
What are deletion, insertion, point mutations
The equation for cellular respiration
What glucose + oxygen = carbon dioxide + water + ATP?
Process where parent organisms are chosen based on desired traits
What is selective breeding?
These affect gene expression
Environmental factors (ex: space, sunlight, temp)
These are the 3 parts of a nucleotide
