cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, mitochondria, cell wall, large vacuole, chloroplasts
1 of 19
4 things an animal cell contains
cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, mitochondria
2 of 19
what does the cytoplasm do
where chemical reactions take place
3 of 19
what happens in mitochondria
respiration
4 of 19
4 things in a bacterial cell
chromosomal DNA, plasmid DNA, flagella, cell wall
5 of 19
what is a gene
a section of a molecule of DNA which codes for a specific protein
6 of 19
what is a DNA molecule
2 strands coiled to form a double helix, linked by bases (A+T, C+G) held together by weak H bonds
7 of 19
5 advantages of human genome project
personalised medicines, evolution of genome, treatments/cures, causation genes, testing for genetic disorders
8 of 19
3 positives of genetic engineering
Vitamin A in golden rice, human insulin, herbicide resistant crop plants
9 of 19
3 negatives of genetic engineering
golden rice may crossbreed (contaminating DNA), GM insulin doesn't suit all, herbicide resistant weeds/ loss of biodiversity
10 of 19
what is mitosis
production of 4 identical diploid daughter cells with identical sets of chromosomes as parents
11 of 19
3 things mitosis occurs in
growth, asexual reproduction, repair
12 of 19
what is meiosis
production of 4 genetically different haploid gametes with half the number of chromosomes
13 of 19
what happens at fertilisation
two haploid gametes combine to form a diploid zygote
14 of 19
what is cloning an example of
asexual reproduction (mitosis)
15 of 19
5 steps to cloning a mammal
remove diploid nucleus from body cell, enucleate egg cell, insert nucleus into egg, stimulate, implant into surrogate mammal
16 of 19
2 advantages of cloning
GE copies of organism with desired characteristic, cows with human insulin in milk
17 of 19
3 disadvantages of cloning
few embryos develop successfully (ethical), grow old quickly and die young, can't create mammal from one limb
18 of 19
what can stem cells in the embryo do
differentiate (loses this ability as matures)
