Mendel's Peas
Probability
Meiosis
DNA
RNA
100
during this process, male and female reproductive cells join. This produces a new cell which develops a tin embryo encased with a seed.
What is Fertilization
100
The likelihood that a particular event will occur.
What is Probability.
100
a cell that contains both sets of homologous chromosomes is said to be what? Hint: "two sets"
What is Diploid
100
these are composed of DNA or RNA core and a protein coat. The name means Bacteria Eater
What are bacteriophages
100
There are 3 main types of RNA, mRNA, rRNA, and tRNA. what does the rRNA mean.
What is Ribosomal RNA
200
Mendel was able to see specific characteristics, such as seed color or plant height, and this varied from one individual to another. What is a name for this characteristic.
What is a trait
200
These can be used to predict and compare the genetic variations that will result from a cross.
What are Punnett squares
200
This is the process of reproduction division in which the number of chromosomes per cell is cut in half through the separation of homologous chromosomes in a diploid cell.
What is Meiosis
200
DNA is a double helix in which two strands are wound around each other. Each strand of the chain is made of nucleotides ad held by hydrogen bonds. A( Adenine) - T (Thymine. and C( Cytosine)- G. what does the G stand for
What is Guanine
200
During ________ RNA polymerase binds to DNA and Separates the DNA strands. RNA polymer then uses one strand of DNA as a template from which nucleotides are assembled into a strand of RNA.
What is Transcription
300
during this formation, alleles segregate from each other so that each gamete carries only a single copy of each gene. Each F1 plant produces two types of gametes.
What is gamete formation.
300
Phenotype is the physical characteristic while _____ is the genetic makeup.
What is a genotype
300
In this phase of Meiosis the fibers pull the homologous chromosomes toward opposite ends of the cell.
What is Anaphase 1
300
Chromatin consists of DNA that is tightly coiled around proteins called...
What are Histones
300
There are this many possible codon correspondents?
What are 64
400
F1 or "first filial" comes from these Latin words. Hint: Son and daughter.
What is Filius and Filia
400
Traits controlled by two or more genes are said to be what? Hint: this also means having many genes.
What are polygenic traits
400
in males, meiosis results in four equal sized gametes called sperm. In females, only one large egg cell results from meiosis. the other three cells are called what? ( these usually are not involved in reproduction)
What are polar bodies
400
During ______ the DNA molecule separates into two strands following, then reproduces two new complementary strands following the rules of base pairing. Each strand of the double helix of DNA serves as a template for the new strand.
What is DNA Replication
400
This type of RNA is transcribed in the nucleus, then enters the cytoplasm and attaches to a ribosome.
What is mRNA
500
This means allowed to self pollinate and produce offspring identical to oneself.
What is true-breeding.
500
This principle states that genes from different traits can segregate independently during the formation of gametes. This helps account for the many genetic variations observed in plants, animals, and other organisms.
What is Independent assorment
500
the process in which homologous chromosomes exchange portions of their chromatids during meiosis.
What is crossing-over
500
The Human colon ( large intestine) contains 4,639,221 base pairs. what is the average length of such DNA molecules?
roughly 1.6mm
500
This consists of three consecutive nucleotides that specify a single amino acid that is to be added to the polypeptide.
