What is Frameshift Mutation?

A frameshift mutation is a type of genetic mutation caused by the insertion or deletion of nucleotides in a DNA sequence

100

means different

heterozygus

Do animals that eat plants depend on photosynthesis?

Yes, animals that eat plants are directly dependent on photosynthesis

100

What are the Phases of Mitosis in Order?

Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, Cytyokinesis

Addition in Frameshift is doing what to the mutation? 

add a letter. 

200

means the same

homozygous

What happens to molecules and atoms during cellular respiration?

During cellular respiration, the atoms from glucose and oxygen are rearranged to form carbon dioxide and water, while energy is released


200

If a cell were a city, what city structures would represent the nucleus, cell membrane, and mitochondria?

The nucleus is like City Hall (control center), the cell membrane acts as the City Limits/Walls (regulating entry/exit), and the mitochondria function as the Power Plants, generating energy for the city's operations.

What are the 2 Frameshift Mutations?

  1. Addition

  2. Subtraction

300

What are the 2 types of Mutations?

1. Point

2. Frameshift

300

Complete the Punnett Square, AND list the Genotype % and Phenotype %

T=Tall t=short

Formula: TT x Tt

Genotype:   TT 50% Tt 50%    

 Phenotype: Tall 100%

Where do humans get energy to grow and function?

Humans get energy to grow and function from the food we eat, which our bodies convert through a process called cellular respiration into a usable form of chemical energy called ATP

300

What is the Nucleolus and what is its job?


The Nucleolus is located inside the nucleus and makes ribosomes.


400

What is Point Mutation?

A point mutation is a change in a single nucleotide base (1 letter) in a DNA sequence



400

What do plants use to make their own food?

Plants get their food through a process called photosynthesis, where they use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create their own food in the form of sugar

400

What happens during Metaphase?

The nucleus has disappeared completely.

Chromosomes Meet in the Middle of the cell “equator”

Centromere connects each chromatin to identical sister

400

What do plant and animal cells have in common?


Plant and animal cells both have a cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, mitochondria, and other membrane-bound organelles like the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus.

400

What is the Mitochondria and what is its job?

The Mitochondria is the Powerhouse of the Cell. Mitochondria complete cellular respiration, which turns food (glucose) into energy (ATP).

500

What are the 3 Point Mutations?

  1. Missense

  2. Nonsense

  3. Silent

500

Where do plants get their energy from, and what type of energy do they contain?

Plants get their energy from sunlight, and contain chemical energy

500

What happens during Anaphase?

Centromeres split

Chromatids separate and move to opposite poles (ends of the cell)

Chromatids now called chromosomes again

500

What do plants have that animal cells do not?

Plant cells have a cell wall, a large central vacuole, and chloroplasts, which animal cells lack
