Tissue that surrounds and protects the contents of the cell by separating them from its external environment.
What is the cell membrane
100
A pathological condition caused by an absent or defective gene.
What is Genetic disorder
100
Undifferentiated cells that are unlike any specific adult cell
What is Embryonic stem cells
100
Inherited from either parent, the offspring WILL inherit that genetic condition or characteristic.
What is dominant gene
100
The study of the autonomy, physiology, pathology, and chemistry of the cell.
What is cytology
200
Material within the cell membrane, that is not part of the nucleus.
What is Cytoplasm
200
A genetic disorder that is present at birth and affects both the respiratory and digestive systems
What is Cystic fibrosis
200
The study of how genes of how genes are transferred from parent to their children and the role of genes in health and disease.
What is Genetics
200
Receives two genes of each genetic traits: one from the father and one from the mother.
What is a new born
200
A specialist in the study and analysis of cells.
What is Cytologist
300
Structure within the cell. Surrounded by the nuclear membrane. It has two important functions, one that controls the activities of the cell, and helps the cell divide.
What is the Nucleus
300
A genetic variation that is associated with a characteristic facial appearance, learning disabilities, and physical abnormalities such as heart valve disease.
What is Down Syndrome
300
Found in umbilical cord
What is cord blood
300
Inherited from both parents, the offspring WILL HAVE that condition.
What is a recessive gene
300
The basic structural and functional units of the body.
What is Cells
400
Unspecialized cells that are able to renew themselves for long periods of time by cell division
What is a Stem Cell
400
A group of hereditary bleeding disorders in which a blood-clotting factor is missing.
What is Hemophilia
400
Transplant that does not require as perfect a match between the patient and donor as the transplantation of adult stem cell.
What is Embryonic Stem
400
Inherited from only one parent, and a normal gene is inherited from the other parent, the offspring WILL NOT HAVE the condition.
What is a recessive gene
400
Undifferentiated cells found among differentiated cells in a tissue or organ. These maintain and repair the tissue in which they are found.
What is Adult stem cells
500
Also known as somatic stem cells, are undifferentiated cells found among differentiated cells in a tissue or organ.
What is Adult Stem Cell
500
A group of genetic diseases that are characterized by progressive weakness and degeneration of the skeletal muscles that control movement.
What is muscular dystrophy
500
Fundamental physical and functional unit of heredity.
What is a gene
500
Contains thousands of genes that provide the information essential for heredity, determining physical appearance, disease risks, and other traits
What is DNA
500
Genetic structures located within the nucleus of each cell.
