basic unit of life

Intrument for Cell Visualization

Instrument for Protien visualization

Concept: all organisms consist of cells

Relationship: volume increase, ratio decreases

Organelle: holds DNA in Eukaryotic cells

boundary marker of a cell

cellular substance containing organelles

organelles: energy production in eukaryotes

organelle: photosynthesis site in plants

organelle: contains digestive enzymes

genetic disorder due to lysosomal enzyme absence

programmed cell death triggered by lysosome release

organelle: protien synthesis

organelle: lipid production, detoxification

organelle: modifies and packages molecules

cellular structure: aids in molecule movement

whip-like tail for cell movement

membrane structure: hydrophobic tails inside

proteins in the cell membrane with various functions

known as the father of genetics

unit of heredity

variant form of a gene

observable traits of an organism

genetic makeup of an organisms

having identical allele for a gene

having different allele for a gene

common ratios in genetic crosses

both alleles expressed equally

phenotype between two homozygous parents

trait influenced by multiple genes

traits carried on the X chromosome

single gene influencing multiple traits

cell division producing identical cells

cell division for gamete production

meiosis I: halves chromosome number

gene determining maleness in mammals

abnormalities in sex chromosome number

condition: extra chromosome (eg; Down syndrome)

condition: missing a chromosome (turner syndrome)

changes in chromosome structure

mutation: chromosome segment loss

mutation: chromosome segment repetition

mutation: chromosome segment relocation

mutation: chromosome segment reversal

service: assesses genetic risks

process: arranging chromosomes by size
