Mendel, Schmendel
Describes how a trait is expressed.
What is a phenotype?
This is the sugar found in RNA.
What is ribose?
Transcription occurs here.
Where is the nucleus?
____________ contains the codons while __________ has the anti-codons.
What is mRNA and tRNA? (in this order)
A change in the sequence of nitrogen bases.
What is a mutation?
Red and White flowers producing pink offspring is an example of this.
What is incomplete dominance?
Adenine pairs with __________ in DNA and _____________ in RNA.
What is Thymine and Uracil?
This is the process of making mRNA from DNA.
What is transcription?
If the DNA sequence is ATC, then this is the (a) codon and the (b) anti-codon.
What is (a) UAG and (b) AUC?
This results in variations in people's eye color and hair color.
What is polygenic inheritance?
These are the 3 reasons Mendel used pea plants.
What is:
1. they had easily observed traits
2. he could control which plants reproduced
3. they reproduced quickly and produced a lot of offspring
These nitrogen bases have an extra ring.
What are Adenine and Guanine?
DAILY DOUBLE
2 parts:
a. The smaller molecules that make up proteins.b. Where proteins are made.
What are amino acids?
Where is a ribosome?
It carries amino acids to the ribosome.
What is tRNA?
When one or more nitrogen bases is left out of a sequence.
What is a deletion mutation?
A blood type A parent and a blood type B parent producing an offspring with Type AB blood is an example of this.
What is codominance?
The 3 components of a DNA nucleotide.
A nitrogen base, a deoxyribose, and a phosphate.
What rRNA forms to connect amino acids together during translation.
What is a peptide bond?
This signals the end of a set of instructions for making a protein.
What is a stop codon?
This amino acid doubles as a START codon.
What is Methionine?
A new plant species is discovered. Biologists note that some flowers have red petals and that others have white petals. A biologist cross-pollinated red-flowering plants with white-flowering plants. If both alleles are codominant, the offspring might look like this.
What is red and white spotted/striped/etc. petals?
These are 3 differences between RNA and DNA.
1. RNA is single-stranded; DNA is double-stranded
2. RNA contains ribose sugar; DNA contains deoxyribose
3. RNA has Uracil; DNA has Thymine
This is an unfolded chain of amino acids.
What is a polypeptide?
This forms peptide bonds between amino acids to form a chain that will later get folded and shaped by the golgi apparatus.
What is rRNA?
This is the enzyme that "unzips" DNA during replication.
What is helicase?
