Definitions
An organism's observable traits..what you can see with your eye
What is "phenotype"
Has the bases A ,T, G, C
What is DNA
Does NOT have two strands making up the molecule
What is RNA
First introduced by Charles Darwin
What is "natural selection"
Have just one set of chromosomes (as seen in gametes)
What is "haploid?
A copying mistake during DNA replication
What is a "mutation"
In the nucleus
Where is DNA found?
The place outside of the nucleus where mRNA takes the code to make proteins
What are ribosomes?
The organisms that are best adapted to an environment
Which organisms survive better than others?
Have pairs of chromosomes
What is "diploid" ?
The breeding of two organisms that have genes for 2 different characteristics that we are working with.
What is a "dihybrid cross"
C or cytosine
What does the base G match up with in DNA
Difference in the bases of DNA and RNA
What are the bases T and U?
Better ability to produce proteins
What is an example of better adaptability?
Both alleles on the chromosomes are identical
What are homozygous alleles?
An organism's combination of alleles for a specific gene..an example is Tt .
What is "genotype".
T or thymine
What does the base A match up with in DNA?
Converts information in the DNA into a protein
What is RNA
Faster in getting away from predators
What is an example of better adaptability?
Both alleles on the chromosomes are different
What are heterozygous alleles
When BOTH genes are DOMINANT and both are expressed
What is "codominance"
The genetic material passed to the next generation
What is DNA
Being used to make some of the COVID vaccinations?
What is mRNA?
Most always are harmful
What are mutations?
In a DNA molecules, match up the appropriate bases to CTAGC
What is GATCG?
Separation of DNA's two nucleotide chains...which act as templates for a new DNA molecule.
What is replication?
form of DNA (regarding strands)
What is "double stranded"?
form of RNA ( regarding strands)
What is "single" stranded?
Leads to adaptation of populations
What is natural selection?
During translation, match the mRNA bases up to the correct tRNA bases AUGCA
What are: UACGU
