Organelles
This organelle releases energy
What is a mitochondria?
Type of cell division that produces new body cells
What is mitosis?
These structures are found in the nucleus and determine an organism's characteristics.
What are chromosomes?
complex chemical that contains information about the organism and contains code used to make proteins
What is DNA?
This man is considered to be the father of genetics
Who is Gregor Mendel?
This organelle stores food, water and waste.
What is a vacuole?
This process forms new reproductive cells
What is meiosis?
This type of genetic trait is shown even if only one parent has a gene for it. (It shows up more often.)
What is a dominant trait?
This organelle is the place where proteins are made
What is the ribosome?
The number of chromosomes in a human body cell
What is 46?
These organelles allow plant cells to make their own food.
What are chloroplasts?
A cell with 8 chromosomes undergoes mitosis. Each new cell will have this number of chromosomes.
What is 8?
This type of trait is shown only when both parents have a gene for it (it is hidden)
What is recessive?
This network of tubular passageways transport protein in the cell
What is the endoplasmic reticulum?
What are pea plants?
This organelle controls what can enter the cell and what can leave the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
A cell with 8 chromosomes undergoes meiosis. Each of the new four cells will have this number of chromosomes.
What is 4?
What is a Punnett Square?
This is the organelle that packages and modifies protein
What is the Golgi body?
The jellylike substance inside of cells
What is cytoplasm?
This is the thick outer layer of plant cells
What is the cell wall?
The pairs of chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell in this phase of mitosis?
What is metaphase?
The joining of a male and female reproductive cell
What is sexual reproduction?
The nucleolus is made of this complex chemical that works with DNA to make proteins.
What is RNA?
This stage of mitosis produces two new cells
What is telophase?
