What is Genotype?
The combination of alleles that you inherit from your parents.
What did Cargoff discover?
If you pair Thymine with Adenine, and Guanine with Cytosine DNA would look uniform.
What is RNA?
A molecule that is present in all living cells and that plays a role in protein production.
(Black is dominant Gray is recessive) There are 2 bunnies, one is DD and one is Dd. What would the chance of a gray bunny if they had a offspring.
0% chance
What is DNA?
A molecule that is present in all living cells and contains the information that determines the traits a living thing inheits and needs to live
What did Mendel discover?
Performed a experiment leading to the study of genetics, including growing thousands of pea plants. Also figured out that each trait has a set of two instructions on from each parent.
What is a trait?
Different forms of a characteristic.
(Blue eyes is dominant Green eyes are recessive) A woman with blue eyes is Homozygous recessive for the trait and a man with green eyes is Hetrozygous for the trait. What is the chance of a offspring with green eyes?
50% chance
What is Homozygous?
A organism with 2 dominant or recessive alleles.
What did Franklin do?
Tried to make a crystal of the DNA molecule, made a x ray pattern resulting in understanding how DNA works, contained rungs.
What is heredity?
The passing of traits from parents to offspring.
Spongebob is homozygous recessive for the trait of holes. Spongealina is hetrozygous for the trait. What is the chance of the offspring having holes?
50% chance
What is Hetrozygous?
A organism with 1 recessive allele and 1 dominant allele.
What did Watson and Crick do?
They used Chargaff's rules and stole Franklin's x ray images to conclude that DNA looks like a long twisted ladder. They used materials from their laboratory to build a large scale model.
What is a Gene?
A set of instructions for an inherited trait.
(Purple leaves dominant, White leaves recessive) Two plants, one purebreed was breed with a homozygous recessive plant. What is the chance the offspring will have purple leaves
0% chance
What is Phenotype?
Your observable traits. (Brown hair, blue eyes)
What is a Allele?
One of the alternative forms of a gene that governs a characteristic such as hair color.
