Heredity
The passing on of physical or mental characteristics genetically from one generation to another.
What is Heredity?
This is a compound consisting of a nucleoside linked to a phosphate group. They form the basic structural unit of nucleic acids such as DNA.
What is a nucleotide?
This separates the genome and ensure that the two daughter cells inherit an equal and identical complement of chromosomes
What is the purpose of mitosis?
What is an allele?
This is DNA that has been formed artificially by combining constituents from different organisms.
What is recombinant DNA?
This is the study of genes, genetic variation, and heredity in organisms.
What is Genetics?
RNA contains the sugar ribose, while DNA contains the slightly different sugar deoxyribose (a type of ribose that lacks one oxygen atom), and (b) RNA has the nucleobase uracil while DNA contains thymine.
What are the differences between DNA and RNA?
Gap 1 (G1), synthesis (S), Gap 2 (G2), and mitosis (M)
What are the phases of the cell cycle?
This is the set of observable characteristics of an individual resulting from the interaction of its genotype with the environment.
What is a phenotype?
This project was an international scientific research project with the goal of determining the base pairs that make up human DNA, and of identifying, mapping and sequencing all of the genes of the human genome from both a physical and a functional standpoint. It started in 1990 and was completed in 2003.
What is the Human Genome Project?
A long DNA molecule with part or all of the genetic material of an organism
What is a Chromosome?
The Cell Nucleus
Where is DNA found?
Mitosis occurs infinitely. The cells never die in cancer, as cancer cells can utilize telomerase to add many telomeric sections to the ends of DNA during DNA replication, allowing the cells to live much longer than other somatic cells. [3] With this mechanism, cancer cells that usually die simply continue to divide.
What is the relationship between mitosis and cancer?
developed three principles of inheritance that described the transmission of genetic traits, before anyone knew genes existed.
Who was Gregor Mendel?
This is a genetic engineering tool that uses a CRISPR sequence of DNA and its associated protein to edit the base pairs of a gene.
What is CRISPR?
This is a set of one maternal and one paternal chromosome that pair up with each other inside a cell during fertilization.
What are homologous chromosomes?
adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C) and guanine (G)
This is a special type of cell division of germ cells in sexually-reproducing organisms that produces the gametes, such as sperm or egg cells. It involves two rounds of division that ultimately result in four cells with only one copy of each chromosome
What is meiosis?
This results from a cross in which each parental contribution is genetically unique and gives rise to progeny whose phenotype is intermediate
What is incomplete dominance?
This is the process of determining an individual's deoxyribonucleic acid characteristics.
What is DNA Profiling?
What is a Karyotype?
This contains the instructions needed for an organism to develop, survive and reproduce.
What are the functions of DNA
During this phase of mitosis do spindle fibers first.
What is Prophase?
This is a way a genetic trait or condition can be passed down from parent to child through mutations (changes) in a gene on the X chromosome
What is an X-linked trait?
This is a plant, animal or microbe in which one or more changes have been made to the genome, typically using high-tech genetic engineering, in an attempt to alter the characteristics of an organism.
What is a GMO?
