Genetics
The definition of genetics
What is the study of inheritance?
Cell Theory
What is the theory that all cells come from existing cells?
The "everyday" phase where cells spend the majority of their life cycle.
What is interphase?
The chemical process of cellular respiration (what does it do?)
What is turning glucose into ATP?
The first step of the scientific method
What is an observation?
The reason Mendel studied pea plants
What are easily indentifiable traits?
Fermentation
What is cellular respiration in the absence of oxygen?
The process (consisting of 5 stages) where a cell's DNA is split across two nuclei.
What is mitosis?
O2 and glucose are the (products or reactants) of cellular respiration?
What are reactants?
Name something that uses lactic acid fermentation.
Milk
Vegetables
Muscles
The number of chromosomes in the human body?
What is 46 (or 23 pairs)?
What is an individual's allele (or gene) combination?
Cytokenesis
What is the process where cytoplasm divides and forms daughter cells?
The products of cellular respiration
What are CO2 and water?
Name something that uses alcoholic fermentation
Fruit
Bread
Kombucha
Draw a punnet square for the cross between two heterozygous parents (Ff x Ff)
Is the drawing correct?
Phenotype
What are the genetic traits that are visible in an individual?
True or False: Mitosis generates two daughter cells that are different from the parent cells and meiosis generates four daughter cells that are identical to the parent cells.
False
Photosynthesis uses this to create glucose
What are sunlight, water, and CO2?
What makes a good science question?
Measurability
Testability
Creativity
In pea plants, the gene for tall plants (T) is dominant and the gene for short plants (t) is recessive. If an organism has the genotype Tt, what is the phenotype?
What is tall?
Messenger RNA (mRNA)
What is RNA which transports information from the nucleus to the cytoplasm?
The differences between meiosis and mitosis
The number of cells produced.
Diploid vs haploid
Genetic differences from the parental cells.
If an organism could choose between making ATP with or without oxygen, which would it choose and why?
With oxygen ATP = 36-38. Without oxygen ATP = 2-4
The difference between a dependent and independent variable
Dependent variable = the thing you're measuring
Independent variable = the thing you're changing
