Q

What are gametes?

A

Sex cells

27
Q

The process there the number of organelles increase is called cell growth an occurred when …

A

The DNA in each chromosome is copied

28
Q

Cell growth is …

A

When the cell increases in size and the organelles increase as each chromosome is copied

29
Q

The process of mitosis is …

A

When two daughter cells, each identical to their parent cell and containing an identical set of chromosomes are produced as the strands of each double chromosome separate and two nuclei are formed.

30
Q

What is meiosis?

A

The type of cell devision produced by gametes

31
Q

How is meiosis different to mitosis?

A

Cells with only half the number of chromosomes are produced

32
Q

What process is essential in producing sex cells?

A

Meiosis

33
Q

The process of miosis is…

A

Chromosomes are copied and pair up, cells divide into two, and divide into two again so there is one allele of each chromosome, producing gametes that contain 23 chromosomes.

34
Q

That are the two steps the cell cycle involves?

A

Cell growth and cell devision.

35
Q

What are organelles?

A

Structures in cells having a function

36
Q

Describe cell devision

A

Two strands of the DNA in each chromosome seperate, two nuclei form, then the cytoplasm divides

37
Q

Which cells in an organism have the same gene?

A

All of them

38
Q

What is the dry tyre of DNA

A

Double helix

39
Q

What are the rungs of the ladder in DNA called?

A

Bases

40
Q

Bases always pair in the same way, what are these pairings?

A

A-T / T-A

C-G / G-C

41
Q

How can you remember how bases are paired up?

A

@GingerCat.com

42
Q

What are the order of bases in the gene instructions for?

A

The production of proteins

43
Q

What type of cell can be switched on to produce any type of specialised cell?

A

Embryonic stem cells?

44
Q

Which cells have the potential to produce cells to repair and replace damaged cells?

A

Embryonic and adult stem cells

45
Q

Why is the use of embryonic stem cells the subject an ethical issue?

A

The embryo is destroyed. Some believe embryos have the right to life from when they are conceived.

46
Q

What is mammalian cloning?

A

The switching on of a gene to produce the cell required under carefully controlled conditions.

47
Q

What type of cloning has overcome some ethical issues of using enviro nix stem cells?

A

Therapeutic cloning

48
Q

Wha does therapeutic cloning involve?

A

-put nucleus of a body cell in empty egg cell.
-Fuse together
Stimulate egg to divide and make nucleus.

49
Q

What is mitosis?

A

Type of cell decision which produces new cells for growth and repair.

50
Q

How do our cells make sure they only synthesise the proteins the need?

A

By switching genes on and off

51
Q

Where does protein synthesis occur?

A

In the cyctoplasm

52
Q

What carries the genetic to the cyctoplasm?

A

Messenger RNA (mRNA)

53
Q

Hat does mRNA do?

A

Carry instructions for the order of proteins

54
Q

Where are proteins assembled.

A

On organelles in the cytoplasm called ribosomes

55
Q

What what happens when the order and sequence of the animo acids is different?

A

Different types of proteins are made, with different properties

56
Q

What is the sequence of the animo acid determined by?

A

The genetic code

57
Q

Where does RNA come from?

A

The DNA unzips and the messenger molecule (mRNA) copies the DNA

58
Q

Why does mRNA have to be made?

A

DNA’s double helix is to big to leave the nucleus

59
Q

Where does mRNA go once it leaves the nucleus?

A

It attaches to a ribosome

60
Q

What is tRNA and what for it do?

A

It is transfer RNA which picks up a chemical signal from the mRNA and ferry’s animo acid to the ribosome where they are bonded together

61
Q

What is the name of the process were proteins are made?

A

Protein synthesis

62
Q

What is a zygote?

A

A fertilised egg

63
Q

What are the units that make up DNA?

A

Bases, sugar, phosphates
