Nucleotide Parts
This part of a nucleotide is represented by 4 letters
What is a base GCAT
This person is known for his work in the garden, and was coined the father of modern genetics
Who is Gregor Mendel
The complimentary strand for TTGCA is _________
What is AACGT
This term describes the twisted shape of DNA, which looks like a spiral staircase or a twisted ladder.
What is "Double Helix"?
what is the problem
Deoxyribose (Sugar)
This trait controlled by this type of allele, will ALWAYS show up if at least one copy is present.
What is DOMINANT
In a codon there are this many base pairs
The sides of the DNA ladder are made up of these two types of molecules.
What are "Sugar and Phosphate"?
In this step, engineers brainstorm different ideas and come up with creative solutions before choosing the best one.
What is step 2- Imagine
In a nucleotide, behind every Sugar is a ___________
Phosphate
This type of allele is only expressed if two copies are inherited, one from each parent.
What is "Recessive"?
This type of mutation occurs when a single nucleotide is substituted, possibly changing one amino acid in the protein.
What is "Point Mutation"?
A large section of DNA that provides instructions for making a amino acids for a protein is called this.
What is "Gene"?
Before building, engineers follow this step to create a model, blueprint, or sketch of their designan
What is step 3- Plan
Each base has a designated counterpart, another base that they pair with.
Cytosine pairs with Guanine, and Adenine pairs with _____
What is Thymine
An organism with two identical alleles for a trait, like BB or bb, is described by this term.
What is "Homozygous"?
This type of mutation happens when one or more nucleotides are removed from a DNA sequence, potentially altering every amino acid after the change.
What is "Deletion"?
Genes are stored on these thread-like structures, which are found inside the nucleus of a cell.
What are "Chromosomes"?
After building a prototype, engineers do this to see if their design works and meets the goal.
What is step 4- Test it out
What is a Hydrogen Bond
In this type of dominance, a red flower and a white flower cross to produce a pink flower.
What is "Incomplete Dominance"?
This type of mutation occurs when one or more nucleotides are added to a DNA sequence, causing a shift in the reading frame.
What is "Insertion"?
What are protiens
Engineers use this final step to fix problems and make their design better after testing
What is step 5 "Improve"?
