M&M and Genetics
100
A cell that has no distinct, membrane-bound organelles.
What is a Prokaryote?
100
The part of the fungus responsible for extracellular digestion and absorption of the digested food.
What is the mycelium?
100
Anything that has mass and takes up space.
What is matter?
100
Haploid cells produced by diploid cells for the purpose of sexual reproduction.
What are gametes?
100
A process of asexual cell reproduction, where the cells that are produced are identical to the parent cell.
What is Mitosis?
200
An organism that causes disease.
What is a pathogen?
200
A hypha that is imbedded in the material on which the fungus grows.
What is a rhizoid hypha?
200
The organelle which produces energy for the cell - the "power house."
What is the mitochondria?
200
A sequence of three nucleotide bases on mRNA that refers to a specific type of amino acid.
What is a codon?
200
The total number of chromosomes in a diploid cell. Represented by "2n."
What is a diploid number?
300
Coccus, Bacillus, and Spirillum
What are the three most common shapes of bacteria?
300
Fungi with no known method of sexual reproduction.
What is Phylum Deuteromycota?
300
The random motion of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of low concentration.
What is diffusion?
300
Non-membrane bound organelles responsible for protein synthesis.
What are ribosomes?
300
One of a pair of genes that occupies the same position on homologous chromosomes.
What is an allele?
400
Tiny floating organisms that are either small animals or protozoa.
What is Zooplankton?
400
Fungi reproduce by making these. Where these are located on the fungus determines the Phylum that it belongs to.
What are spores?
400
These determine the vast majority of an atom's characteristics.
What is the number of electrons?
400
Lacking any affinity to water.
What is hydrophobic?
400
An allele that will not determine the phenotype unless the genotype is homozygous in that allele.
What is a recessive allele?
500
A temporary, foot-like extension of a cell, used for locomotion or engulfing food. Found in members of Phylum Sarcodina.
What are pseudopods?
500
A mutualistic relationship between at fungus and an alga.
What is a lichen?
500
The four stages of Cellular Respiration.
What are glycolysis, the formation of acetyl CoA, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport system.
500
An educated guess that attempts to explain an observation or answer a question.
What is a hypothesis?
500
The stage of Meiosis that most closely resembles Mitosis.
What is Meiosis II?
