Vocabulary
a change in the DNA sequence of a gene
What is a mutation?
Creates exact copies of cells
What is mitosis?
Complete a Punnet's Square for TT and tt
Tt, Tt, Tt, Tt
Type O blood
What is the universal donor?
nuclear membrane dissolves and the genetic material "condenses" into clearly visible chromosome structures
What is prophase?
large molecule consisting of one or more chains of amino acids (polypeptides)
What is protein?
nuclear membrane dissolves and the genetic material "condenses" into clearly visible chromosome structures
What is interphase?
An allele that is masked when a dominant allele is present
What is Recessive?
Type AB blood
What is the universal recipient?
nuclear membrane reforms, encasing the recently divided chromosomes. The spindle fibers disappear and the genetic material is present as daughter chromosomes
What is telophase?
building block of protein molecules
What is Amino Acids?
structures of DNA and protein in the nucleus of cells, where genes are located
What are chromosomes?
Describes a trait that covers over another form of that trait.
Why would a person with type A blood not be able to receive type B blood?
What is the person with type A blood will make B antibodies. It will attack B blood and clump, possibly blocking blood vessels.
spindle fibers pull the chromosomes (sister chromatids) apart into daughter chromosomes. These are pulled towards the centrioles at either pole of the cell
What is Anaphase?
three adjacent nucleotides in DNA or mRNA that code for a specific amino acid in a protein
What is a codon?
Transcribe this DNA sequence to its RNA sequence:
AAACCGGCA
What is: UUUGGCCGU?
The father of modern genetics.
Who is Gregor Mendel?
This blood type will clump if mixed with anti-A antibodies.
Type A blood
chromosomes move to the center of the cell and spindle fibers to the kinetochore of each chromatid
What is metaphase?
What is the difference between DNA and RNA?
DNA is double stranded nucleic acid that carries genetic information. RNA is a single stranded nucleic acid that is needed for transcription and translation.
A DNA sequence is as follows: AATGTG
The daughter cell has the following sequence:
AATTGTG
What is insertion?
Use a Punnetts Square to determine what percentages are possible for a baby’s blood type from mother with heterozygous type B blood and father with homozygous type A blood.
50% AB and 50% A
This type of blood makes B antibodies.
What is type A
What phase do cells spend the most time in?
What is interphase?
