Inheritance
When sexual cells split while swapping chromosomes
What is meiosis?
When somatic cells split into 2 identical pairs
What is mitosis?
the place where a protein is synthesized
What is a ribosome?
the process of continuous change and development in a species
What is evolution?
Chemical tags that turn genes on or off without changing DNA
What is epigenetics?
A trait that only appears when homozygous. If there is a different type allele then the trait will not show up.
What is a recessive allele?
90% of the cell cycle where cell duplicates organelles and chromosomes
What is the interphase?
A long chain of amino acids
What is a polypeptide?
A mutation where the changed base(s) does not affect the amino acid.
What is a silent mutation?
Process where a cell becomes a specialized type with a specific function
What is cell differentiation?
A tool to find out the mode of inheritance
What is a pedigree?
The cell rapidly grows produces specific proteins required for division, duplicates its centrosomes, and checks the replicated DNA for any errors
What is the G2 phase?
Macromolecule made of polypeptides and/or amino acids
What is a protein?
What is an X-linked mutation?
Cells in early development that can become many different cell types
What are stem cells?
A type of punnett square that is used to predict how 2 different traits are inherited together
What is a dihybrid cross square?
An organelle which produces parts that make up ribosomes
What is the nucleolus?
Deadliest types of mutations.
What are frame shift mutations? (insertion+deletion acceptable)
How environmental factors like diet, stress, or toxins affect gene expression
What is epigenetic regulation?
Cells with only 1 set of chromosomes
What are haploid cells?
A stage where the chromosomes move to opposite ends of the cell
What is anaphase?
A type of enzyme that adds the new bases to the corresponding bases when the dna strand is split during dna replication
What is dna polymerase?
Many descendants of a european royal had this disease. Said royal did not have the disease but they were a carrier for the gene.
What is hemophelia?
The process where environmental factors add chemical tags to DNA that can change gene expression throughout life
What is epigenetic modification?
