Cell Division
The number of new cells formed in mitosis
What is two?
A trait, such as attached earlobes, that does not show up very often in a population
What is a recessive trait?
This organelle releases energy for the cell
What is the mitochondria?
The instructions for making the protein are found in these threadlike structures inside the nucleus
What are the chromosomes?
This "father of genetics" experimented with pea plants.
Who was Gregor Mendel?
The purpose of mitosis
What is growth (or cell division)?
This checkboard-like diagram shows possible gene combinations of offspring
What is a Punnett Square?
This organelle stores water, food, and waste
What is the vacuole?
This organelle makes proteins in the cell
What is the ribosome?
The number of chromosomes is a human body cell
What is 46?
The purpose of meiosis
What is to make reproductive cells?
What is a dominant trait?
This is the organelle that controls the cell and contains chromosomes
This organelle is a tubular passageway that transports protein (it can be smooth or rough)
What is the endoplasmic reticulum?
In humans, each reproductive cell has this number of chromosomes (remember that each new cell in meiosis has half the number of the original cell)
What is 23?
Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
What are the stages of mitosis in order?
A double-stranded chemical that is found in the chromosomes that contains specially coded information about an organism
What is DNA (or deoxyribonucleic acid)?
This organelle gets rid of waste in the cell
What is the lysosome?
This organelle modifies and packages the protein
What is the Golgi body?
Robert Hooke is given credit for discovering these
What are cells?
Chromosomes and their copies line up in the middle of the cell in this stage of mitosis.
What is metaphase?
What are genes?
The organelles that contain chlorophyll and make food in plant cells
What are chloroplasts?
This single-stranded molecule carries a message from the DNA in the nucleus out to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm in order for the proteins to be made
What is RNA?
The genetic engineering tool called CRISPR has the ability to repair or replace sections of the genetic code in this double helix molecule.
What is DNA?
