Cell
Organelle at the center of the cell.
The nucleus.
The structure of DNA.
A double helix.
What is a phenotype?
Traits physically seen on the outside.
Definition of artificial selection.
humans choose the desirable traits in order to produce offspring with those qualities.
The type of reproduction where the offspring share the same genetic code as the parent.
Asexual
Contains all genetic information as well as instructions for the cell.
The nucleus.
The letters of the nucleotides that make up DNA.
A,T,C,G
Give an example of a phenotype.
(Open ended, hair color, eye color, etc)
Give an example of an organism that has been artificially selected.
Farm animals, fruit, dogs etc
Name one pro of asexual reproduction.
No mating, quick, little chance of mutation
The gel-like structure that holds all the organelles.
The cytoplasm.
The pairs of the nucleotides.
A with T, C with G
The definition of natural selection.
organisms with traits that better suit their environment that leads to survival and reproduction.
Definition of genetic engineering.
process of transforming a living thing by adding one or more new traits
The cell division process for sexual reproduction.
meiosis
Groups of cells make what?
Tissues
DNA codes for what?
Proteins
One factor that encourages natural selection.
Competition, genetic variation, over reproduction
True or False. Artificial selection can lead to exposing negative impacts.
True.
Identify a con for sexual reproduction.
mating process, longer time, no guarantee of success
The processes that cause cell division.
Mitosis and Meiosis
The importance of proteins.
Provide structure, protect from disease, transport essential nutrients
How can a recessive trait be physically seen.
Both parents must be carriers.
Difference between artificial and natural selection.
