Cell Division
Pair of chromosomes carrying the same genes, but potentially different alleles.
What are homologous chromosomes.
Inheritance pattern in which one allele is not dominant over another - both phenotypes can be expressed.
What is codominance
DNA replication takes place in the _____________.
What is the nucleus
This takes place in the nucleus and created a strand of messenger RNA
What is transcription
Phase of cell division in which sister chromatids are pulled apart.
What is anaphase
Two people are a carriers for a disorder and have children. What is the probability their children will have the disorder?
What is 25% or 1/4
Two new strands of DNA connected by a centromere are called ______________.
What are sister chromatids
The product of translation is this.
What is a polypeptide chain
Cell division that results in 4 genetically unique haploid daughter cells.
What is meiosis
Genotypes possible for someone with an autosomal dominant disorder.
What is homozygous dominant and heterozygous
Replication is considered _________________, as it conserves an old strand in the synthesis of sister chromatids.
What is semi-conservative
When a cell determines the need for a protein to be synthesized, that particular portion of the genome will be "read" and translated. The beginning of the gene will be recognized by a promoter. In Eukaryotes this promoter is known as this.
What is the TATA box
The uncontrolled division of cells.
What is cancer
Mendel's Law of ___________ demonstrates the separation of hereditary particulates that can be recombined in subsequent generations.
What is the Law of Segregation
Replication takes place during this phase of the cell cycle.
What is the S phase of interphase
mRNA will be made by complimentary base pairing to the ___________ strand of DNA.
What is template strand
Homologous chromosomes swap DNA during this event in Prophase of Meiosis I.
What is crossing over
Portion of our genome that is not fixed, but dependent on methylation and acetylation of our DNA throughout our lives and variable based on things like diet, exercise, and stress levels.
What is our epigenome
Name of the enzyme that synthesizes DNA through base pairing.
What is DNA polymerase
RNA processing is one way that gene expression can be modified in Eukaryotes and is considered transcriptional control, the two other types of control are these.
What are translational and post-translational control
