This is the type of mutation that happens when an extra nucleotide base is put into a sequence where it doesn't belong.
What is insertion mutation?
200
This organelle is responsible for making proteins in our body.
What are ribosomes?
200
These are the jobs that proteins have in your body...name 3.
What is look them up in your notes!
200
This is how many chromosomes the human genome has in each cell.
What is 46? (23 pairs!) But 46 is the correct answer.
200
This is another name for chromosome 23.
What is the sex chromosome.
300

What are red blood cells?
300
This organelle makes ATP, which is the energy molecule that the cell needs all of the time.
What is the mitochondria?
300
This is why our eye cells look different than our hair cells.
What is cell differentiation? Basically, proteins tell cells how to change, or how to differientiate!
300
This is what all of your genes code for.
What are proteins?
400
This is the type of mutation where a piece of DNA completely replicates itself for no reason.
What is duplication mutation?
400
This is the outside of the cell, but it is only found in plants!
What is the cell wall?
400
This is how old we are when proteins start assigning jobs to cells (or when proteins tell cells how to differentiate!)
What is the embryonic stage? (or when you are just a tiny little embryo)
400
When you get a gene from each parent, this gene is the one that always wins!
What is the dominant gene?
400
This is the name for chromosomes when they are NOT condensed.
What is chromatin?
500
This is the name of any substance that causes your DNA to mutate.
What are mutagens?
500
This organelle is the "garbage can" of the cell, and it helps dispose of unwanted particles in the cell.
What is the lysosome?
500
If ribosomes make proteins out of DNA, who makes the ribosomes????
What is the nucleolus (not the nucleus!)
500
These are the six molecules that DNA is made up of. (Two in the backbone, 4 in the middle of the ladder).
What are ribose, phosphate, adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine.
