Cells
This part of the cell maintains homeostasis and controls what can enter and exit the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
The process of cell growth, division and replication.
What is the cell cycle?
This nitrogen base bonds with Adenine (A) in DNA?
What is thymine (T)?
Having two different alleles for a trait, like Tt
What is heterozygous?
By inserting DNA from one organism into another, humans have been able to improve the food supply and make crops more resistant to insect damage. This is an example of this type of technology.
What is recombinant DNA ?
The location in which DNA, or genetic information, found in a eukaryotic cell.
What is the nucleus?
During this stage of mitosis DNA coils into chromosomes and chromosomes line up in pairs across the center of the cell.
What is metaphase?
These three parts make up a nucleotide.
What are the sugar, phosphate, and nitrogen base?
The total number of chromosomes found in a normal human body cell.
What is 46?
This is used to cut the DNA that is used in a laboratory to make recombinant DNA and DNA fingerprints.
What are enzymes?
The organelle makes proteins?
What is the ribosome?
Describes the cells formed from mitosis
What is two cells that have identical genetic material?
DNA replication occurs in this location within the cell.
The term used to describe accidental or random changes in DNA that can lead to new adaptations.
What is a mutation?
A scientist need a sample of this to make a DNA fingerprint.
What is blood? (something which contains DNA)
The part of the cell which produce energy for the cell.
What is the mitochondria?
Crossing over during meiosis is important to increase this.
What is genetic variation?
A segment of DNA has the nitrogen base sequence ATCCAT,
This would be the genetic code found on the mRNA.
What is UAGGUA?
The term which describes how species may change over time through natural selection and isolation until they completely different from their original species (meaning they can no longer mate with that group).
What is speciation?
Recombinant DNA technology is used to create transgenic organisms. These human proteins can be made from this process.
What are insulin and the human growth hormone?
The two types of cells.
What are prokaryotic (no nucleus) and eukaryotic (have a nucleus) cells?
*Reminder: Plant and Animal cells are both eukaryotic cells! Bacteria is an example of a prokaryotic cell.
The cells formed from meiosis.
What are gametes or sperm and egg cells?
These monomers make up protein.
What are amino acids?
The finches on the Galapagos Islands have differences in beak size and shape due to this process.
This type of technology is used to place normal genes in cells to correct genetic disorders.
What is gene therapy?
