Heredity
The textbook definition of heredity
What is the biological process of passing physical and genetic traits from parents to offspring?
The product(s) of Meiosis
What is Reproductive Cells?
How does CRISPR work?
It finds and replaces functions of DNA.
What is homologous structure meant to do?
Provide structural evidence for evolution, showing how a single original trait was adapted over time for different environments
What is genetic counseling?
Genetic counseling gives you info about how genetic conditions might affect you and your family.
The field of study that studies genetic expression
What is Epigenetics?
The term when DNA is swapped between two chromosomes during Meiosis
What is Crossing Over?
How does it differ from other gene editing tools?
What is a homologous structure?
Biological features in different species that share a common evolutionary origin, even if they now serve completely different purposes
To meet the growing need for specialized support.
The two types of inheritance/alleles
What is Dominant and Recessive?
Name two phases present in Meiosis and Mitosis
What is Prophase, Prometaphase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, or Cytokinesis?
The cutting protein of CRISPR
What is Cas9?
How does homologous structures provide evidence for evolution?
By demonstrating that diverse organisms possess modified, underlying anatomical patterns descended from a single source, rather than being independently created
How old do you have to be to go to genetic counseling?
You can be in your childhood and or adulthood.
A table that is used to show the different types of inheritance
What are Punnett Squares?
The number of chromosomes pairs present during meiosis
What is 23?
What CRISPR stands for
What is clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats?
Does homologous structure work differently in humans and animals?
Yes, the work (function) of homologous structures is different in humans and animals
What other things do genetic counselors help with?
Cancer, pregnancy, and childhood conditions.
The difference between Somatic and Germline mutations
What is Somatic mutations cannot be inherited by offspring, while Germline mutations can?
The main purpose of Meiosis
What is Genetic Diversity?
What are gene therapy and cell therapy, and how is CRISPR involved?
Gene therapy to fix faulty genes, cell therapy to make your body's cells attack toxic cells.
Would species work the same without homologous structures?
Yes, life could fundamentally work without homologous structures
What do they specialize in?
Prenatal, pediatric, oncology, neurology, ophthalmology, psychiatry, etc.
