1. Cells and DNA Flashcards
Jeopardy!
These organelles break down engulfed pathogens, nutrient molecules, and components of the cell itself that are no longer functional (aka: trash).
What are lysosomes?
Jeopardy
This cellular component visible under the microscope protects the interior of the cell from its environment. It also limits the movement of specific materials into and out of the cell.
What is the cellular membrane?
jeopardy
These organelles are involved in cellular metabolism, specifically the production of energy via aerobic respiration.
What are mitochondria?
Jeopardy
This cell component visible under the microscope includes both the cytosol and the organelles*.
*except the nucleus
What is the cytoplasm?
Jeopardy
In animal cells, this organelle serves as the location for DNA in its chromatin form.
What is the nucleous?
Jeopardy
Double-helix structure discovered by Watson and Crick in 1953.
What is DNA: deoxyribonucleic acid?
Jeopardy
This organelle stores material produced by the cell and transports it to the cell membrane and outside the cell.
What is the Golgi apparatus?
Jeopardy
This organelle transports material from one part of the cell to another.
What is the Endoplasmic reticulum?
Jeopardy
These organelles are the cellular machinery responsible for making proteins
What are Ribosome?
Jeopardy
Without ever leaving the cell nucleous, this molecule controls all cell activities
What is DNA?
Jeopardy

Jeopardy
Coded information shared exclusively between identical twins
What is genetic information?
Jeopardy
Coded by specific genes, enzyme and hormone belong is this categorie.
What are protein?
Jeopardy
Entity known to exist under different variations called alleles.
What is a gene?
Jeopardy
Name given to a gene variant (aka: alleles) whose presence appear to mute the expression of other variants.
What are dominant genes?
Jeopardy
Mode of reproduction where DNA from both parent is split, shuffled and fused?
What is sexual reproduction?
This organelle found in animal cells may have arisen as a result of mutualism
What is a mitochondria?
jeopardy
Sometimes casually refered to as “the gene pool” this Indicator is associated with the capacity of a species to adapt?
What is genetic diversity?
Jeopardy
Usual suspects associated with a specific character.
What are genes?
Jeopardy
Name given to every living species unique set of genes.
What is a genome?
jeopardy
Highly condensed DNA visible during cell division.
What are chromosomes?
Jeopardy
Name given to the form in which chromosomes are entangled and folded up on themselves. This form is found outside the phases of nuclear division
What is chromatin?
Jeopardy
This process, whose name originates from the greek word for thread, is responsible for growth and to tissue repair.

jeopardy
Name given to cell with 2 sets of chromosomes.
What are diploid cells?
Describe
Phase during which the chromosomes are formed and the nuclear membrane dissapears.
What is prophase?
Jeopardy
Process also known as gametogenesis

Define
Name given to cell containing only one set of chromosomes.
