gives shape and support to cell, positions and moves cell parts
Term
centrioles
Definition
synthesize microtubes of cilia and flagella
Term
cilia and flagella
Definition
move cell through fluid of move fluid past cell surface
Term
difference between plant/animal cells
Definition

plants have cell wall/animals dont

plants have chloroplasts/animals dont

plants have central vacuole/animals dont

animals have centrioles/plants dont

animals have cilia and flagella/plants dont

Term

DNA

deoxyribonucleic acid

Definition
carries genes, within chromosomes, spiral shape
Term
four bases in DNA
Definition
adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine
Term

complementary base pairing

 

Definition

A---->T

C---->G

vice versa

Term
DNA fingerprinting
Definition
find prints on objects, trace back to the owner
Term
restriction enzymes
Definition
cuts double-stranded or single-stranded DNA
Term
gel electrophoresis
Definition
technique used for the separation of DNA, RNA, or protein molecules using an electric field applied to a gel matrix
Term
DNA relation to chromosomes, genes, and alleles
Definition

chromosomes carry DNA

DNA carries genes

genes carry alleles from parents

Term
genotype/phenotype
Definition

genotype is genetic make up

phenotype is physical appearance depending on genotypes

Term

homozygous

heterozygous

dominant

recessive

incomplete dominance

Definition

homo- same alleles AA aa

hetero- different Aa

dominant- appears most often, stronger than recessive

recessive- skips generations, appears less often

incomplete- one allele is not completely dominant over the other resulting in a combined phenotype

Term
punnett squares
Definition
Term
Darwin's theory on evolution
Definition
only the strongest survive
Term

composed of phospholipid bilayer

Term
how temp, concentration, and molecular size relate to rate of diffusion
Definition

greater the difference in concentration b/w 2 areas the greater the rate of diffusion

temp increases the rate of molecular movement

molecular size- heavier a particle is the slower it moves
