Basic genetics
They way traits are passed from parents to children.
What is Inheritance?
Allele that shows with only one copy.
What is Dominant allele?
Condition with two few healthy red blood cells.
What is Anemia?
Change in DNA.
What is Mutation?
Chart used to predict genetic outcomes.
What is Punnett Square?
Molecule that stores all genetic info.
DNA
Allele that needs two copies to show.
What is Recessive Allele?
Protein that carries oxygen in red blood cells.
What is Hemoglobin?
Mutation that changes only one DNA bases is called…
What is Single-Point mutatio?
Diagram that shows traits through generations of a family.
What is a Pedigree chart?
Section of DNA that controls traits.
What is Genes?
Having two different Alleles for a trait.
What is Heterozygous?
Genetic disorder that causes sickle-shaped red blood cells.
Sickle-Cell Anemia
Process of making proteins.
What is Protein Synthesis?
Combination of alleles a person has is called…
What is Genotype?
Tightly packed structures that hold DNA.
What is Chromosome?
Having two identical alleles for a trait.
What is Homozygous?
One person has the sickle cell allele but not the disease.
What is Sickle-cell trait?
Building blocks of proteins.
What is Amino Acids?
The physical traits that are expressed are called..
What is Phenotype?
Different versions of the same gen.
What is Alleles?
Both alleles are fully expressed at the same time.
What is Codominance?
A person who has one recessive allele but shows no symptoms is called….
What is a Carrier?
Singl-Stranded molecule that helps makes proteins.
What is RNA?
A group of genes inherited together is called…
What is a Haplotype?
