DNA
DNA stands for
What is Deoxyribonucleic Acid
Specific portions of DNA that determine hereditary characteristics
What is Genes
Where most the cell time is spent
What is interphase
Genetic disease that affects red blood cells and is the result of two recessive genes
What is Sickle Cell anemia
What is Punnett Square
RNA stands for
What is Ribonucleic Acid
Combination of allele inherited from parents
Genotype
Mistakes or misconnections in the duplication of chromatin material
What is Mutations
Graphical chart used to identify the lineage of individuals
What is Pedigree
Mistakes that affect the whole chromosome
What is Chromosomal Mutations
Four bases in DNA, and they form pairs
What is Adenine(A),Thymine(T), Guanine(G), and Cytosine(C)
The trait will most likely not express it self
What is recessive gene
Type of cell division that generates two daughter cells
What is Mitosis
Reproduction by mitosis is a careful coping mechanism
What is Asexual Reproduction
Located in the nucleus of the cell
What is DNA
Sugars found in DNA
What is deoxyribose
The offspring inherits one dominant allele and one recessive allele
What is heterozygous
Type of cell division necessary for sexual reproduction
What is Meiosis
Principle states that some forms of a gene or trait are dominate over other traits, which are called recessive
What is Principle of Dominance
The first step of protein synthesis is the manufacture of a specific kind of RNA
What is Messenger RNA (mRNA)
The process of making proteins
What is protein synthesis
Cells grow to look and function differently
What is Cell differentiation
The process of mitosis and cytokinesis together
What is Cell division
Process to capture and convert it to chemical energy
What is photosynthesis
Process that releases chemical energy from sugars and other carbon based molecules to make ATP when oxygen is present
What is cellular respiration
