Photosynthesis
Organisms that use sun to create food are called
What is "Autotrophs"
Powerhouse of the cell
What is "Mitochondria"
The science of heredity and of the mechanisms by which traits are passed from the parents to offspring
What is "Genetics"
Rod shaped structures made of DNA and protein, DNA strand slightly coiled around the protein
What are "Chromosomes"
What are the 4 phases of Mitosis
What is "Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telephase"
A series of complex chemical reactions that convert to light energy from the sun into chemical energy in the form of organic compounds
What is "Photosynthesis"
Universal energy molecule
What is "ATP (adenosine triphosphate)"
A diagram used to predict the probability of the offspring in genetic cross
What are "Punnet Squares"
Somatic cell body cell are cells that have 2 homologous chromosomes that are called
What is "Diploid"
The process of nuclear division that reduces the chromosome number by half
What is "Meiosis"
The light energy that is captured and the chemical energy that is stored in the energy carrying molecules (NADPH)
What is "Light Reactions"
Occurs in cytoplasm and creates pyruvic acid
What is "Lactic Acid"
Entered a monastery in Austria at 21 and was tasked with maintaining the garden, 29 enrolled at University of Vienna and studied science and mathematics and heredity, mainly studied pea plants
Who is "Gregor Mendel"
Sequence of growth and division that consists of two major phases interphase and either Mitosis or Meiosis
What attaches to centromeres in Mitosis
What is "Spindle Fibers"
The main energy currency that the light Reactions mainly use through the process of chemiosmosis
What is "ATP"
Biochemical pathway that breaks down a acetyl CoA producing CO2 and hydrogen atoms
What is the "Krebs Cycle"
Occurs when the dominant and recessive alleles are expressed in the heterogeneous offspring
What is "Codominance"
In-between cell division parts of chromosomes uncoil and are used to direct activities of cell, this uncoiled DNA is called
What is "Chromatin"
What is "Oogenesis"
Occurs in the stroma of the chloroplast, assisting chemical reactions that create three carbon sugars from CO2. Makes organic compounds from inorganic CO2 called carbon fixation
What is the "Calvin Cycle"
Uses chemiosmosis with the help of NADH and FADH2 to produce ATP, the enzyme and ATP synthase is embedded in the inner membrane folding of the mitochondria called cristae.
The heterozygous is an intermediate (blend) between the homozygous dominant and recessive
What is "Incomplete Dominance"
These are included in which cycle: Cell Growth, DNA synthesis, Mitosis, and Contact inhibition
What is the "Cell Cycle & Checkpoints"
What are the 3 phases that consist in Interphase
What is "G1 (Gap 1) Cell growth, S (DNA is synthesized), G2 (Gap 2) Cell prepares for division"
