Cell Size
What is cell size?
Surface area to volume ratio affects size
What is cell division?
Process where one (parent cell) divides and makes two cells (daughter cells)
What are genotypes?
Alleles inherited from parents
DNA Replication
Happens in the synthesis phase of the eukaryotic cell cycle
What is protein synthesis?
Transfer of genetic info from DNA to RNA
What are the parts of the cell?
Plasma membrane, cytoplasm, ribosomes, DNA
What is the mitotic phase?
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, and Cytokinesis
What is homozygous?
Same allele from each parent
Messenger RNA
Copies genetic information from the DNA and carries to the cytoplasm
What are mutations?
Changes in the sequence of DNA or RNA can happen
What are the two types of cells?
Prokaryotes and Eukaryotic
What is cancer?
Cancer is a disease that occurs when the cell cycle is no longer regulated
What is heterozygous?
Different allele from each parent
Ribosomal RNA
Helps from ribosomes (makes proteins)
What is a germline mutation?
In the gamete, dangerous to the offspring
What is passive transport?
Movement of molecules through the cell membrane with no outside energy
What is endocytosis?
Material coming into the cell
Law of Segregation
Two factors control a single characteristic
What is RNA?
One strand contains uracil instead of thymine
Change a single nucleotide
What is homeostasis?
Keeping the cell constant or alive
What is exocytosis?
Using vesicles to transfer materials out of cell
What is Locus?
Location of gene on chromosome?
DNA has nucleotide monomers
Base, Sugar, Phosphate
What are regulatory elements?
Regions on DNA where proteins bind
