Genetics
the study of biological inheritance
What is Genetics?
used to predict the outcome of a cross
What is a Punnett Square?
Chromosomes visible, spindle forms as centrioles move
What is prophase?
DeoxyriboNucleic Acid
What is DNA
Same alleles
What is Homozygous?
factors that are passed from parents to offspring
What are genes?
predicts the outcome of a cross, focusing on a single trait
What is a Monohybrid Cross?
Chromosomes line up along equator
What is Metaphase?
The Structure of DNA
What is phosphate, sugar, base
Different alleles
What is heterozygous?
different forms of a gene
What are alleles?
predicts the outcome of two traits
What is a Dihybrid Cross?
Chromatids separate
What is Anaphase?
half of the old strand is saved
What is SEMI-CONSERVATIVE?
what genes, letters, the organism has (PP, Pp, pp)
What is GENOTYPE ?
a characteristic that is more likely to show up in a person
What are dominant trait?
The phenotype ratio for
P1:Rr
P2:Rr
What is 3:1?
Nuclear membrane forms, and cytokinesis begins
What is Telophase?
DNA to RNA
What is transcription?
what it looks like (purple or white)
What is PHENOTYPE?
a characteristic that only shows up if both parents pass down the same gene for it
What are recessive traits?
the phenotype ratio
P1:Hh
P2:HH
What is 4:0?
Cell spend most of their life
What is INTERPHASE?
RNA to protein
What is Translation?
DNA is damaged by chemicals
What are CARCINOGENS?
