Parts of the Cell
Mitochondria
the movement of water molecules from a solution with a high concentration of water molecules to a solution with a lower concentration of water molecules
osmosis
Mitosis
matching genes; one from our biological mother, one from our biological father
alleles
codon
is responsible for the green color of many plants and algae
Chlorophyll
the process by which organisms combine oxygen with foodstuff molecules, diverting the chemical energy in these substances into life-sustaining activities and discarding, as waste products, carbon dioxide and water
Cellular Respiration
What are the four stages of mitosis?
prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase
a form of Gene interaction in which both alleles of a gene at a locus are partially expressed, often resulting in an intermediate or different phenotype
incomplete dominance
the process of copying a segment of DNA into RNA
Transcription
What part of the cell makes proteins?
Robosomes
the movement of ions across a semipermeable membrane bound structure, down their electrochemical gradient
chemiosmosis
How many cells divide in meiosis
two
a type of inheritance in which two versions (alleles) of the same gene are expressed separately to yield different traits in an individual
codominance
a highly conserved group of enzymes that unwind DNA
DNA helicase
The organelle functions to package and deliver proteins
Golgi apparatus
the net movement of molecules from an area where they are at a higher concentration to areas where they are at a lower concentration
diffusion
the phase of the cell cycle in which a typical cell spends most of its life
interphase
the experiment were able to separate the phages into radioactive sulfur-containing protein ghosts and radioactive phosphorus-containing DNA
Hershey-Chase Experiment
a long chain of adenine nucleotides that is added to a mRNA molecule during RNA processing to increase the stability of the molecule
poly a tail
found in all cells that separates the interior of the cell from the outside environment
plasma membrane
channel proteins from a larger family of major intrinsic proteins that form pores in the membrane of biological cells, mainly facilitating transport of water between cells
aquaporin
the physical process of cell division, which divides the cytoplasm of a parental cell into two daughter cells
Cytokinesis
forms the structural framework of nucleic acids, including DNA and RNA
sugar-phosphate backbone
an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactions that synthesize RNA from a DNA template
RNA polymerase
