The Gene-yus of Mendel
If an organism has two of the same alleles, it is called this.
What is homozygous?
In traits that are X-linked, males have this number of alleles.
What is one?
This is the enzyme that unzips DNA during replication.
Location of transcription
What is the nucleus?
Location of Translation
What is the cytosol? (Or Rough ER)
The physical appearance of an organism is called this.
What is a phenotype?
A person with type AB blood is an example of this inheritance pattern.
What is codominance?
In PCR, this unwinds the strands of DNA.
What is heat?
In RNA, this base replaces Thymine and pairs with Adenine.
What is Uracil?
This molecule brings amino acids to the ribosome.
What is tRNA?
This type of cross is used to determine an unknown Dominant phenotype.
What is a test cross?
One gene affecting multiple traits is an example of this.
What is pleiotropy?
The direction DNA is synthesized.
What is 5' to 3'?
This enzyme builds mRNA from a DNA template.
What is RNA Polymerase?
This three-base sequence on mRNA codes for an amino acid.
What is a codon?
In a dihybrid cross, this is the expected ratio of offspring in the F2 generation.
What is 9:3:3:1?
One gene affecting the expression of another gene is this.
What is epistasis?
These short DNA fragments are synthesized on the lagging strand during DNA replication.
What are Okazaki fragments?
The region where transcription begins
What is a promoter region?
This is what a tRNA is called when it is bound to its amino acid.
What is charged?
Mendel’s Law that explains how alleles separate into different gametes.
What is the Law of Segregation
The farther apart two genes are on a chromosome, the more likely this event is to occur between them during meiosis.
What is Crossing Over or Recombination?
This "rule" determined that the amount of A = T and the amount of C = G in a DNA molecule.
What is Chargaff's rule?
Before mRNA leaves the nucleus, it gets a cap, a tail, and these removed.
What are introns?
The first codon in most mRNA strands, AUG, codes for this amino acid.
What is Methionine?
