Heredity and Molecular Genetics
100
A way of gaining knowledge about the natural world by asking questions and using evidence and logic to find the answer
What is Science?
100
Found in the cytoplasm, these are where protein is made.
What is a Ribosome?
100
A type of cellular respiration that requires oxygen
What is Aerobic Respiration?
100
The process in which the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell divides
What is Mitosis?
100
A segment of DNA that codes for a single protein or RNA. Controls what characteristics are expressed
What is Heredity?
200
They are made up of: • sugar • phosphate group • nitrogen bas
What are nucleotides made up of?
200
He was one of the first scientists to discover cells by looking at a cork through a microscope.
Who is Robert Hooke?
200
The process in which cells break down glucose and make ATP for energy
What is Cellular Respiration?
200
When genetic information is exchanged between homologous chromosomes.
What is Crossing-Over?
200
A phenotype in which both alleles are expressed equally.
What is Codominance?
300
A pair of nucleotide bases that bond together.
What is a Complimentary Case Pair?
300
The membrane is mainly made up of phospholipids. They are arranged in two layers.
What is a Phospholipid Bilaye?
300
Second stage of aerobic respiration in which two pyruvate (pyruvic acid) molecules from the first stage react to form ATP, NADH, and FADH2.
What is the Krebs Cycle?
300
This has the normal number of chromosomes; half from mother, half from fathe
What is a Zygote?
300
Short fragments of DNA that comprise the lagging strand.
What is a Okazaki Fragment
400
Made up of fatty acids–either saturated (carbon bonded to as many hydrogen atoms as possible) or unsaturated (some carbon bonded to groups other than hydrogen atoms
What are Lipids?
400
Moves a substance into the cell. First, the cell membrane surrounds the substance. The vesicle then pinches off from the membrane and carries the substance into the cell
What is Endocytosis?
400
Sac-like membranes that are organized into stacks called grana.
What is Thylakoid Membranes?
400
The structure that forms during cytokinesis in plants and eventually leads to the plasma membrane and cell wall of the two daughter plant
What is a Cell Plate?
400
Deletion, duplication, inversion, insertion, translocation.
What are the types of chromosomal alteration?
500
They can create food without light.
What is a Chemoautotroph?
500
This occurs when substances cross the plasma membrane without any input of energy from the cell.
What is Passive Transport?
500
Carbon dioxide is consumed, G3P (can be used to form glucose) is produced
What is the Calvin Cycle?
500
Pair of chromosomes that have the same size and shape and contain the same genes
What is a Homologous Chromosomes?
500
They are specialized, meaning that they have different functions, so different types of cells use different regulatory elements.
What are Eukaryotes?
