| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| a part of the cell containing DNA and RNA and responsible for growth and reproduction | Nucleus |
| structures in the nuclear envelope that allow passage of certain materials between the cell nucleus and the cytoplasm | Nuclear Pores |
| a net-like structure in the cytoplasm of animal cells | Golgi Apparatus |
| non membrane bounded organelles responsible for protein synthesis | Ribosomes |
| cell organelle filled with enzymes needed to break down certain materials in the cell | Lysosomes |
| a tiny cavity filled with fluid in the cytoplasm of a cell | Vacuole |
| a jellylike fluid inside the cell in which the organelles are suspended | Cytoplasm |
| a thin membrane around the cytoplasm of a cell | Cell membrane |
| organelles that capture the energy from sunlight and convert it into chemical energy in a process called photosynthesis | Chloroplasts |
| strong layer around the cell membrane in plants, algae, and some bacteria | Cell wall |
| threadlike structures made of DNA molecules that contain the genes | Chromosomes |
| sequence of DNA that codes for a protein and thus determines a trait | Gene |
| deoxyribonucleic acid, the material that contains the information that determines inherited characteristic | DNA |
| ribonucleic acid, a natural polymer that is present in all living cells and that plays a role in protein synthesis | RNA |
| Essential to DNA, it is on the outside of the double helix. The bases bind to it | Sugar |
| makes up the sides of the DNA ladder with deoxyribose | Phosphate |
| The base that pairs with Thymine in DNA | Adenine |

| The base that pairs Adenine in DNA | Thymine |
| The base that pairs with Cytosine in DNA | Guanine |
| The base that pairs with Guanine with DNA | Cytosine |
| (genetics) any event that changes genetic structure | Mutation |
| a mutation in which a nucleotide or a codon in DNA is replaced with a different nucleotide | Substitution |
| Gene mutation that adds a nucleotide that doesn't belong. This changes the amino acid sequence and protein sequence. | Addition |
| the loss of a part of DNA from a chromosome | Deletion |
