What is the process by which cells convert glucose into energy?
Cellular Respiration
100
What are the two main stages of protein synthesis?
The two main stages of protein synthesis are transcription and translation.
100
What are the main phases of the cell cycle?
The main phases of the cell cycle are G1, S, G2, and M (mitosis).
100
What is the main reasons we use DNA fingerprinting?
Identical match (suspect)/familial match

Explain the difference between genotype and phenotype.
Genotype refers to the genetic makeup of an organism, while phenotype refers to the observable physical or biochemical characteristics of an organism

Describe the role of the cell membrane in maintaining homeostasis.
The cell membrane regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell, maintaining homeostasis.
200
Define transcription in the context of protein synthesis.
Transcription is the process of copying the genetic information from DNA to mRNA.
200
Define mitosis and its significance in cell division
Mitosis is the process of cell division, where a single cell divides into two genetically identical daughter cells.

T= Purple pea plant
t= white pea plant
What is the probability that the pea plant is purple?
100%

What is osmosis and how does it differ from diffusion?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a semi-permeable membrane, while diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
300
What role does mRNA play in protein synthesis?
mRNA carries the genetic information from the nucleus to the ribosomes, where it is used as a template for protein synthesis.

What is the longest part of the Cell Cycle?
Interphase

A person with blood type O (genotype ii) marries a person with blood type AB (genotype IAIB). What blood types can their children have?
IA | IB
----------------
i | IAi | IBi
----------------
i | IAi | IBi
The possible blood types of their children are A (IAi) or B (IBi).
400
Explain the importance of ATP in cellular processes.
ATP is the primary energy currency of the cell, powering many cellular processes.
400
Describe the function of ribosomes in the process of translation
Ribosomes are the cellular organelles responsible for the translation of mRNA into proteins.
400
What role do checkpoints play in the cell cycle?
Checkpoints in the cell cycle ensure that the cell is ready to proceed to the next phase, preventing errors and maintaining genomic integrity.

Who killed the victim?
Suspect B

If a pea plant with purple flowers (dominant, P) is crossed with a pea plant with white flowers (recessive, pp), what are the possible genotypes of the offspring? Fill in the Punnett square.
p | p
----------------
P | |
----------------
p | |
Parent genotypes: Pp (purple) × pp (white)

What is the function of the endoplasmic reticulum in a cell?
The endoplasmic reticulum is responsible for the synthesis, folding, and transport of proteins within the cell.
500
How does the sequence of nucleotides in DNA determine the structure of a protein?
The sequence of nucleotides in DNA determines the sequence of amino acids in the resulting protein, which in turn determines the protein's structure and function.

Describe the process by which stem cells differentiate into specialized cells.
Stem cells are special cells that can turn into different types of cells in the body through signals from their environment, which is important for forming tissues and organs that perform specific functions.

What are the benefits for GMO's?
Create higher crop yields, reduced use of pesticides, improved nutrition, and the ability to grow food in challenging environments

In a pedigree chart, if a circle represents a female and a square represents a male, how would you represent an affected individual with a genetic disorder?
An affected individual is typically represented by a filled-in shape. For a female, it would be a filled circle, and for a male, it would be a filled square.
