DNA
DNA is an abbreviation of this.
What is deoxyribonucleic acid?
These make up chromosomes.
What are genes?
This phase is the phase that describes the cell "moving around".
What is cytokinesis?
In a competition between the two traits, this one will more than likely be expressed.
What is the dominate trait?
This nitrogenous base replaces Thymine in DNA to this in RNA transcription.
What is uracil?
Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine.
What are nitrogenous bases?
This is the home of the chromosomes.
What is the nucleus?
This is when DNA replicates?
What is interphase?
This common 2x2 square to determine trait probabilities is called this.
What is a punnett square?
What is transfer RNA?
Replaces thymine when transcribing RNA.
What is uracil?
These have half the number of chromosomes as the body cells in which they come from.
What is gametes?
The type of replication that leaves an identical copy, called a daughter.
What is mitosis?
This is the term for when the offspring produced only show traits of the parent.
What is pure-bred?
Along with other proteins, makes up the structure of a ribosome.
What is ribosomal RNA?
This sugar is the backbone of the double helix.
What is deoxyribose?
The term used to describe a fertilized egg.
What is a zygote?
They done been halved! This phase of mitosis is when the centromeres are pulled apart by spindle fibers.
What is anaphase?
This is the study of heredity.
What is genetics?
Carries the coded instructions for protein synthesis from the DNA in the nucleus to the ribosomes.
What is messenger RNA?
There are three types of this. A messenger, a transfer, and a ribosomal.
What is RNA?
This determines the traits that are expressed.
What are genes?
This is the name for a cell with only one set of chromosomes.
What is a haploid?
The crossing of parents that have a similar genotype.
What is inbreeding?
A three base code in DNA or mRNA is called this.
What is a codon?
