Cell Organelles
This is the “control center” of the cell.
Nucleus
DNA is made of these four bases. Give each letter
A, T, G, and C
A dominant and recessive allele combo is called this.
Heterozygous (Hh)
The process of a cell splitting into two, to create more cells.
Mitosis
In 2025, both Mr. Arce and your Monitor Emma got to travel to the same city because of competitions. What city did we travel to?
Washington D.C.
This organelle produces ATP through breaking down glucose.
The Mitochondria
This process turns DNA into RNA.
Transcription
In a Bb x Bb cross, what percent of offspring are homozygous recessive?
25%
This kind of cell delivers oxygen all over the body using hemoglobin.
Red Blood Cell
What is Mr. Arce's dog's name?
Goose!!!
Found only in plant cells, this structure gives support and a rigid shape.
Cell Wall
RNA is read in 3-letter chunks called this
Codon
What is the term for the DNA/alleles an offspring has?
Genotype
This kind of tissue is responsible for movement.
Muscle Tissue
What is Emma's Last name?
Rosales
This organelle is like a post office, modifying and shipping proteins
The Golgi Apparatus
The organelle that reads RNA to make proteins.
Ribosome
A change in the DNA sequence is called this
Mutation
The organ system that delivers oxygen and nutrients.
The Circulatory System
How many tattoos does Arce have?
Four!!
These clean up toxic waste, like hydrogen peroxide
The Peroxisome
AUG codes for this amino acid, which always starts protein synthesis.
MET or Methionine
This kind of mutation has no impact on the protein produced.
Silent Mutation
This process keeps everything balanced inside a cell.
Homeostasis
What competition did Emma and her group win this year? *Hint - On the MPS Homepage ayeeee*
Congressional App Challenge
