What is the cell membrane?
It controls what enters and exits the cell.
100
What is a pedigree chart?
This visual representation can be used to track inherited traits through several generations.
100
What is messenger RNA?
This molecule carries the genetic code from the DNA in the nucleus to the cytoplasm.
100
What is genetic engineering?
The process of altering a genome, whether it's a human or a viral genome.
100
What are enzymes?
These proteins catalyze chemical reactions in the cell and outside of the cell.
200
What are chloroplasts?
These organelles harness the sun's energy to produce food in autotrophs.
200
What is a karyotype?
This collection of chromosomes can be used to identify genetic problems.
200
What is DNA replication?
In both mitosis and meiosis, chromosomes must duplicate by this process.
200
What is gene cloning?
The production of many identical copies of the same gene.
200
What is an organ system?
It is composed of several organs working together for a common purpose.
300
What is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
This organelle produces lipids for use inside and outside the cell.
300
What is an inversion?
In this chromosomal mutation, a piece of a chromosome is turned 180 degrees and rejoined.
300
What is ribosomal RNA?
This complex molecule, made from a DNA template, forms the ribosomes.
300
What is gene therapy?
This process inserts genetic material into human cells to treat genetic disorders.
300
What is the Calvin Cycle?
In this process, carbon from CO2 is fixed to a molecule of RuBP and then through several enzymatic reactions, glucose is produced.
400
What are mitochondria?
These organelles break down glucose to provide cellular energy for metabolic processes.
400
What is a Barr body?
This highly condensed chromosome occurs in female mammals due to redundancy.
400
What is cancer?
This disorder can occur when cells multiply without internal controls to result in a large growth called a tumour.
400
What is the PCR? (Polymerase Chain Reaction)
This gene cloning process amplifies a specific DNA sequence, creating billions of copies in a few hours.
400
What is visible light?
This component of the electromagnetic spectrum ranges from 380 nm to 750 nanometres.
500
What is apoptosis?
This process occurs as cells reach their normal end of life.
500
What is non-disjunction?
In this abnormal process, spindle fibres pull a chromosome to the wrong side of a dividing cell.
500
What is protein synthesis?
This process involves amino acids being attached to each other to form a polypeptide on the ribosomes.
500
What is the fruit fly?
Dr. David Suzuki studied genetics using this insect for his research.
500
What is a sense of humour?
This quality in animals like humans can get them through difficult times with less stress. It also makes them laugh.
