cells that do NOT contain a nucleus or membrane bound organelles; example- bacteria

synthesizes proteins (found in all cell types)

process that uses ATP to create a vesicle to transport things inside the cell

A type of cell transport that does NOT require energy in the form of ATP

a type of cell transport that requires energy in the form of ATP

a type of passive transport in which water moves with the concentration gradient

the state of a solution when there is more solvent than solute

the state of a solution when there is less solvent than solute

the organelle that produces glucose (sugar) from water and carbon dioxide in the process of photosynthesis

complex cells that contain a nucleus and membrane bound organelles

process that uses ATP to release a vesicle to transport things outside the cell

a form of passive transport where solutes move with the concentration gradient

the state of a solution when it has equal amounts of solvent and solute

the selectively permeable barrier that maintains homeostasis by allowing things in and out of the cell

also known as deoxyribonucleic acid, the genetic information in the nucleus of eukaryotes and the cytoplasm of prokaryotes

includes the growth and DNA replication (S) phases of the cell

the process of producing haploid gametic cells (n)

the process of producing diploid somatic cells (2n)

the cell cycle phase where the cell splits into two (cytoplasmic division)

a sequence of three nucleotides that has the information needed to form an amino acid

A change in the structure or number of chromosomes

a change in one or more genes that results in something new

a gene mutation that involves adding or deleting a nucleotide, causing the reading frame to change

a mutation that occurs as the result of a single nucleotide being substituted for another

a larger molecule formed from the linkage of several monomers

stores water in both plant and animal cells, but is significantly larger in plants

made of amino acids and performs various cellular functions

made of fatty acids and provides long term energy storage

the organelle in plants that contributes to structural support

requires oxygen

does not require oxygen

made of monosaccharides and provides energy to the cell

made of nucleotides and stores genetic information for the cell

the place where a substrate binds to an enzyme

another word for 'unfolding' that may occur when a protein is exposed to extreme conditions

a segment of a chromosome that codes for specific traits

the genetic makeup of an organism

DNA pairs that have the same genes

a variant form of a gene

the physical appearance of a trait

an educated guess about something that was observed; often an 'if' and 'then' statement

a scientifically supported explanation about something that was observed

three types, also known as ribonucleic acid

the process of rewriting DNA into RNA in the nucleus

the process of making amino acids using RNA molecules as templates in the cytoplasm at a ribosome

the allele that is expressed; may be heterozygous or homozygous

the allele that is NOT expressed UNLESS it is homozygous

may be dependent or independent, the things that are being observed or changed during an experiment

the variables in an experiment that are not changed for the purpose of comparison

The two alleles for each gene are seperated/placed in different gametes during meiosis.

The inheritance of one gene does not affect the inheritance of any other gene.

When two different alleles are present , only one allele is dominant and will be shown in the phenotype.
