DNA/RNA
The monomer of both DNA and RNA.
What is a nucleotide?
This is going from DNA to RNA
What is transcription?
He is known as the "Father of Genetics"
Who is Gregor Mendel?
When both traits are visible in a heterozygous individual, the trait is called this
What is codominant?
Phenotypic ratio for a cross between two heterozygous individuals for two traits
What is 9:3:3:1?
This base takes the place of thymine during transcription.
What is uracil?
This is the nickname for DNA -> RNA -> Protein
What is the central dogma of biology?
This is the probability of having a heterozygous child when 2 parents with the following genotypes are crossed:
Bb x Bb
What is 50%?
Aside from genetics, this also impacts who you are
What is the environment?
Genotypic ratio of a cross between two heterozygous individuals for 1 trait
What is 1:2:1?
A group of 3 bases that code for a protein.
What is a codon?
This is the complimentary REPLICATED DNA strand to the following template strand:
A T G G C T
What is T A C C G A?
This is what a cross following 2 traits is called
What is a dihybrid cross?
The wide variety of skin colors is due in part because it is this type of trait
What is polygenic?
ABO blood groups in humans is determined by this.
What is Multiple Alleles?
This type of mutation occurs when 1 base is copied wrong during transcription.
What is point or substitution?
This is the TRANSCRIBED strand of mRNA from the following strand of DNA:
A C C T G A
What is U G G A C U?
This is the name for the physical characteristics expressed in organisms
What is phenotype?
This occurs when the offspring exhibit a blending of the two parental phenotypes.
What is incompletely dominant?
This states that inheritance of one trait has no effect on the inheritance of another
What is the Law of Independent Assortment?
This type of RNA helps to make up the organelle where translation (protein synthesis) takes place.
What is rRNA or ribosomal RNA?
This is what the 3 unpaired bases attached to every tRNA molecule are called
What is an anticodon?
Determines phenotype in a heterozygote.
What is a dominant allele?
The genetic code that your traits depends upon is called
What is DNA?
The allelic composition of the both parents in a dihybrid cross that is performed to determine the likelihood of the offspring displaying both recessive alleles is 1:16 or 6.25%.
What is both parents are heterozygous for both traits?
