Dominant
In genetics, describes an allele that is fully expressed whenever the allele is present in an individual
function
a job or roll
DNA
Deoxyribonucleic acid, is a material that provides instructions for all cell processes.
plant have this but animals do not
cell wall and chloroplast
what is a theory
a carefully thought-out explanation for observations of the natural world that has been constructed using the scientific method, and which brings together many facts and hypotheses
what is a cell
the smallest structural and functional unit of an organism, typically microscopic and consisting of cytoplasm and a nucleus enclosed in a membrane. Microscopic organisms typically consist of a single cell, which is either eukaryotic or prokaryotic.
Law
is the description of an observed phenomenon. It doesn't explain why the phenomenon exists or what causes it.
nucleus

what is one of the characteristics of the cell theory
all living things have cells
what is heredity
The passing of genetic material from parent to offspring
tissue
any of the distinct types of material of which animals or plants are made, consisting of specialized cells and their products.
cell membrain
a protective layer that covers a cell’s surface and acts as a barrier between the inside of a cell and the cell’s environment.
ribosomes
the organelle that makes proteins by putting together chains of amino acids using instructions encoded in the cell’s DNA
asexual reproduction
mitosis
Heterozygous
An organism that has one dominant and one recessive allele
organ
a part of an organism that is typically self-contained and has a specific vital function, such as the heart or liver in humans.
cytoplasm
the region enclosed by the cell membrane that includes the fluid and all of the organelles of the cell
Golgi Complex
a cell organelle that helps make and package materials to be transported out of the cell
definition of extinction
the process by which different kinds of living organisms are thought to have developed and diversified from earlier forms during the history of the earth.
Homozygous
An organism with two dominant or two recessive alleles
organ system
a biological system consisting of a group of organs that work together to perform one or more functions.
organelles
a small body in a cell’s cytoplasm that is specialized to perform a specific function.
vacuole
a fluid-filled vesicle (cavity or sac) found in the cytoplasm of plant cells or protozoans
