Mendelian Inheritance
One of Mendel's Laws, which states: "Each trait has dominant and recessive alleles. The dominant allele is expressed, while the recessive allele's effect is masked."
What is the Law of Dominance?
The phase of mitosis where the chromatin condenses into chromosomes.
What is prophase?
What are A-T, C-G?
The type of RNA that translates a triplet code into the corresponding amino acid.
What is tRNA?
One of Mendel's Laws, which states: "The alleles for different traits are inherited independently of each other."
What is the Law of Independent Assortment?
The stage that the cell spends most of its "life" in, performing normal functions.
What is interphase?
A specific section of DNA that contains the code for a protein.
What is a gene?
The type of RNA that makes up the ribosome.
What is rRNA?
One of Mendel's Laws, which states: "An offspring inherits one allele for each gene from each parent."
What is the Law of Segregation?
The phase of mitosis when the centrioles connect to the chromosomes.
What is metaphase?
TACGCAT has the complimentary DNA strand of...
ATGCGTA
The type of RNA that transcribes information from inside the nucleus and takes it out into the rest of the cell.
What is mRNA?
When an organism has two of the same allele for a trait.
What is Homozygous?
The phase of mitosis where a furrow forms, as the cell starts to split into two.
What is telophase?
The 3 components of DNA.
1. Phosphate
2. Sugar
3. Nitrogen Base
The 4 bases of RNA.
What are A, U, C, G?
When an organism has two different alleles for a trait.
What is Heterozygous?
The phase of mitosis where the centrioles pull the chromosomes apart, with half going to each side.
What is anaphase?
The 3 steps of DNA replication.
1. Strands separate
2. Nucleotides pair up
3. Two identical strands are made
The main structural difference between DNA and RNA. While DNA is double stranded, RNA is...
Single-stranded
