WILD
100
A modified type of cell division in sexually reproducing organisms consisting of two rounds of cell division but only one round of DNA replication
What is meiosis
100
The process that results in new cells with genetic material that is identical to the original cell
What is mitosis
100
there is no change in the amino acid with this type of mutation
What is silent mutation
100
Nonliving particle made up of nucleic acid and a protein coat or nucleic acid and lipid-protein coat
What is a virus
100
A length of DNA that holds the instructions for one protein, and can be thousands of base pairs long
What is a gene
200
The number of cycles that meiosis goes through.
What is two
200
where DNA is found
What is nucleus
200
Gene mutations involving a change in one or a few nucleotides (substitutions, insertions, deletions)
What is point mutations
200
outer structure of virus
What is a capsid
200
Instructions to make proteins, which determine the characteristics of all living things.
What is the base sequence of DNA
300
The process in meiosis that ensures more genetic variation
What is crossing over
300
the longest phase in mitosis
What is prophase
300
swapping of sections of chromsome from one chromosome to another
What is translocation
300
the cell a virus uses to replicate
What is a host cell
300
A characteristic, such as eye or hair colour. (A gene is a section of DNA that holds the code for a specific trait.)
What is a trait
400
The phase of meiosis where crossing over occurs
What is prophase
400
2 identical cells
What is the end result of mitosis
400
adding a copy of a section of a chromosome
What is duplication
400
prevent viruses
What are vaccines
400
The combination of possible alleles
What is a genotype
500
4 unidentical cells
What is the end result of meiosis
500
condensed genetic material
What are chromatids
500
disorder caused by nondisjunction that results in an embryo with three copies of chromosome 21 instead of the usual two.
What is trisomy 21 (down syndrome)
500
viruses are made up of
