Cellular Biology
100
A variant form of a gene that exists on a chromosome and encodes for a certain trait; the components of a gene
What is an Allele?
100
The molecule that creates different genes and holds the genetic instructions for life
What is DNA?
100
The first phase of cell division, where Chromosomes are formed and centrioles move to opposite sides of the cell
What is Prophase?
100
An individual that requires all of its parts
What is an Organism?
100
A single-celled organism that exists as either an independent organism or a parasite
What is a Bacteria?
200
The structure that contains DNA and is affected by Mitosis/Meiosis
What is a Chromosome?
200
A trait that is expressed if there is at least one allele for it present
What is a Dominant Trait?
200
The second phase of cell division, where the Chromosomes align in the center of the cell and prepare to be divided into Chromatids
What is Metaphase?
200
A group of organisms capable of breeding and creating fertile offspring
What is a Species?
200
A substance designed to inhibit the reproduction of or kill off a bacteria
What is an Antibiotic?
300
The entire composition of a organism's DNA
What is a Genotype?
300
All traits displayed by an organism
What is a Phenotype?
300
The third phase of cell division, when the Chromatids are pulled apart and to different sides of the cell, leaving the center of the cell vacant
What is Anaphase?
300
A group of individuals belonging to the same species that live in the same area
What is a Population?
300
When a bacterium is exposed to an antibiotic repeatedly without dying and builds up a tolerance to it
What is Antibiotic Resistance?
400
When an organism has different alleles coding for the same trait
What is a Heterozygote?
400
When an organism has two copies of the same allele coding for a trait
What is a Homozygote?
400
The final stage of Cell division, when nucleic envelopes reform around chromatids and a cell begins cytokinesis
What is Telophase?
400
A group of different species that live in the same area
What is a community?
400
A biomass comprised of one or more chains of amino acids
What is a Protein?
500
The change from DNA Codons (A, T, G, C,) to mRNA Codons (A, U, G, C)
What is Transcription?
500
The change from mRNA Codons (A, U, G, C) to tRNA Codons (A, U, G, C)
What is Translation?
500
The process that aligns chromosomes with each other instead of chromatids, resulting in cell division being undertaken twice
What is Meiosis?
500
When a community and the physical environment interact with each other continuously
What is an Ecosystem?
500
The process in which tRNA translates mRNA and attaches amino acids together based off of the translation
What is Protein Synthesis?
