sites for protein synthesis.

17
Q

Lysosomes - garbage eaters

A

organelles that contain digestive enzymes. They digest excess or worn out cell parts, food, and engulfed viruses or bacteria.

18
Q

Osteoblasts

A

specialized cells that secrete the protein collagen and other substances necessary for bone formation

19
Q

Ribosomes

A

organelles responsible for protein synthesis, predominant in protein-secreting cells such as osteoblasts.

20
Q

Protein synthesis

A

two main steps, transcription of DNA to mRNA and translation of mRNA codons to amino acids

21
Q

ATP production

A

function of the mitochondria while intracellular digestion is performed by lysosomes.

Q
A
23
Q

law of segregation

A

each pair of
alleles segregate randomly during gametogenesis

24
Q

law of dominance

A

the offspring will
always display the dominant trait in the phenotype
by suppressing the recessive trait.

25
Q

law of independent assortment

A

traits inherited by the offspring are independent
of each other.

Q

Enzymes are biological catalysts that
___________.

A

Increase the rate of any given reaction

28
Q

What is the relationship between the genetic code and the protein structure?

A

Proteins are encoded by genetic codes stored in DNA.

Q

frameshift mutation

A

the insertion or deletion of nucleotide bases in numbers that are not multiples of three.

34
Q
