This process is used for growth and repair in multicellular organisms like humans.
What is mitosis ?
This is a diagram that shows which family members have a trait.
What is a pedigree?
This is the organelle that makes proteins through the process of translation
What is a ribosome?
This is what a double helix of DNA is called when it is condensed down from a long thread into an object. Useful during mitosis.
What is a chromosome ?
This is the process of bacterial cell division
What is binary fission?
This diagram can help calculate the odds of an offspring's phenotype by finding all possible gentotypes.
What is a Punnett square?
This is the process of copying the genetic code from DNA to mRNA.
What is transcription?
This enzyme unzips DNA during DNA replication.
What is helicase
The first stage of interphase during which the cell grows
What is the G1 or Growth 1 phase ?
These are new cells formed from cell division
What are daughter cells ?
This is the term for all the alleles that an individual has.
What is a genotype?
This molecule carries the information from a gene to a ribosome
What is mRNA?
This is the monomer that makes up DNA and RNA
What is a nucleotide?
This is a term that means 'one version of a gene'
What is an allele
This is the process of changing the genetic code on mRNA into a polypeptide sequence.
What is translation?
This is the likelihood that two heterozygous parents will have an offspring that is also heterozygous.
50%
This is a three letter long segment on mRNA that specifies an amino acid.
What is a codon?
This enzyme writes new strands of DNA during DNA replication.
What is DNA polymerase?
This is the name of the cells produced by meiosis.
What are gametes?
This is an allele that is expressed even if there is only one copy.
What is a dominant allele
This molecule carries an amino acid to the ribosomes and has an anticodon.
What is tRNA
This is a short stretch of new DNA on the lagging strand. It results from DNA only being written in the 5'->3' direction.
What is an Okazaki fragment
This is a new segment of cell wall between plant cells that have undergone mitosis
What is a cell plate?
This is an inheritance pattern where neither allele is entirely dominant. Example would be if a red homozygous flower crossed with a white homozygous flower and had pink flowered offspring.
What is incomplete dominance?
This is a sequence on mRNA that will end the process of translation.
What is a stop codon?
