The Cell
Genes and Proteins
Mitosis and Meiosis
From Gametes to Zygote
Reproduction
100
The cell's main control center.
What is the nucleus?
100
This process converts light and energy into glucose and occurs only in plants.
What is Photosynthesis?
100
This results in the formation of new cells.
What is mitosis and meiosis?
100
These cells develop into gametes as the production of offspring begins.
What are haploid cells?
100
These are two types of reproduction.
What is sexual and asexual reproduction.
200
Maintains and protects the cell.
What is the cell wall?
200
This acronym is short for deoxyribonucleic acid.
What is DNA?
200
This produces two daughter cells each with the same amount of chromosome as the parent cell.
What is mitosis?
200
The process when gametes meet.
What is fertilization?
200
This type of reproduction depends on the fusion of male and female cells.
What is sexual reproduction?
300
This helps breakdown waste and holds the cell together.
What is cytoplasm?
300
A DNA molecule that defines a particular trait of the human body.
What is Gene?
300
sperm and ovum are an example of this.
What is gametes?
300
All offspring produced by this type of reproduction are genetically identical to the parent.
What is asexual reproduction?
400
It stores nutrients and helps during cell growth.
What is the vacuole?
400
These are large molecules made up of amino acids.
What are Proteins?
400
This produces two daughter cells each with half the amount of chromosome as the parent cell.
What is Meiosis.
400
During this stage chromatoid pairs split and the new chromosomes move to the end of the cell.
What is anaphase 2?
400
In this type of reproduction a sperm cell is harvested and implanted into a female of the same species.
What is artificial insemination?
500
This controls calcium release and breaks down toxins in the cell.
What is the endoplasmic reticulum?
500
This is formed in the cytoplasm of a cell and carries messages from the DNA to the cells nucleus.
What is mRNA?
500
These coil and become visible in Mitosis prophase and meiosis prophase I.
What are Chromosomes?
500
This is the first stage of human development when the egg and sperm join.
What is a zygote?
500
This process requires harvesting an egg cell and then fertilizing it with a harvested sperm cell in a laboratory.
