200

This organelle stores DNA and controls the activities of the cell.

What is the nucleus?

200

These proteins speed up reactions in cells.

What are enzymes?

200

Humans have this total number of chromosomes.

What is 46?

200

This process is used for growth, repair, and replacing damaged cells.

What is mitosis?

200

This process creates genetically unique gametes.  

What is meiosis?

400

This organelle is roughly 1/2 RNA and 1/2 protein.

What is the ribosome?


400

Enzymes speed reactions by bringing these together.

What are substrates?

400

Trisomy 21 which results in down syndrome produces an individual with how many chromosomes?

What is 47?

400

During this stage, chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.

What is metaphase?

400

During meiosis, this process exchanges DNA between homologous chromosomes.

What is crossing over?

600

This organelle has it's own double membrane and DNA.

What is the mitochondria?

600

This type organelle is involved with protein synthesis and folding.

What is the rough ER?

600

Skin and muscle are examples of these types of cells.

What are somatic cells?

600

DNA is copied during this phase of interphase.

What is the S phase?

600

The random distribution of chromosomes into gametes is called this.

What is independent assortment?

800

This plant-only organelle was the result of endosymbiosis when a heterotrophic eukaryotic host cell engulfed a photosynthetic cyanobacterium without digesting it. 

What is the chloroplast?

800

This organelle creates lipids and lacks ribosomes.

What is the smooth ER?

800

Cells containing one copy of each chromosome are called this.

What are haploid cells?

800

The first stage of mitosis.

What is prophase?

800

Meiosis produces this number of genetically distinct daughter cells.

What is 4 daughter cells?

1000

If ATP production suddenly stopped, this would most likely happen to the cell.  

What is the cell would lose energy and eventually stop functioning?

1000

A catalyst does this during a reaction.

What is speed up reactions without being used up?

1000

Sperm and egg cells are examples of these.

What are gametes?

1000

This final process completes cell division after telophase.

What is cytokinesis?

1000

Strawberries are octoploid which means what?

What is a eight copies of their chromosomes.
