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.

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
law of independent assortment
traits inherited by the offspring are independent of each other.
26
A lipid or fat molecule can be broken down into fatty acids and __________.
Glycerol
27
Enzymes are biological catalysts that ___________.
Increase the rate of any given reaction
28
What is the relationship between the genetic code and the protein structure?
Proteins are encoded by genetic codes stored in DNA.
29
4 macromolecules
Nucleic acids: Carbohydrates lipid protein
30
the 4 macromolecules and their functions structures
Nucleic acids: Stores and transfers info. Carbohydrates; Store energy, provide fuel, and build structure in body, main source of energy, . Lipid: Insulator and stores fat and energy. Protein: Provide structural support,transport, enzymes, movement, defense
31
celluar organelle responsible for converting nutrient into useable energy in the form of ATP
mitochondria
32
cell cycle phase do cells prepare DNA replication
G1 phase
33
frameshift mutation
the insertion or deletion of nucleotide bases in numbers that are not multiples of three.
34
commensalism
a relationship between individuals of two species in which one species obtains food or other benefits from the other without either harming or benefiting the latter
35
mRNA
molecule carries genetic info from DNA to ribosome for protein synthesis
36
polygenic trait
characteristic, such as height or skin color, that is influenced by two or more genes
