Refers to cells with half the number of chromosomes the organism would normally have.
What is haploid?
The shape of a DNA molecule.
What is a double helix?
The term for an organism with 2 copies of each chromosome.
What is diploid?
In RNA, the base Thymine is replaced with this base
What is Uracil?
The state Mr. B lived in before Mass.
What is Maryland?
The number of chromosomes in each human gamete.
What is 23?
The "ladder" (molecules in the middle) of DNA's structure.
What are Nitrogenous Bases?
One way sexual reproduction is more advantageous than asexual reproduction.
What is increased genetic variation?
Translation takes place in this part of the cell.
What is a Ribosome in the Cytoplasm?
The musician who performed the half-time show at the Super Bowl.
Who is Bad Bunny (and Gaga)?
A group of 3 bases in a row on a DNA or RNA strand, usually represented by the letters A, C, T, U, G
What is codon?
The full names of the bases that complement one another in DNA.
What are Adenine --> Thymine, Cytosine --> Guanine?
The end result of meiosis are these cells. Be VERY specific.
What are 4 genetically unique haploid gametes?
The end product of TRANSCRIPTION.
What is mRNA?
The quarterback of the team that won the Super Bowl.
NOT Drake Maye (sorry New England)
Sam Darnold
Different versions of the same gene, frequently found on the chromosomes of the 2 different parent organisms.
What is an allele?
The molecule produced by DNA replication.
What is DNA? (1 identical copy of the parent DNA molecule)
These processes increase genetic variation during meiosis.
What are crossing over and independent assortment?
This part of tRNA matches with information on mRNA to provide the correct amino acid in protein synthesis.
What is an anticodon?
Which country in the world eats the most chocolate (per capita)?
What is Switzerland!
Not the genetic information (BB, Bb, bb), but the trait we actually observe.
What is phenotype?
The term that means part of the original (parent) DNA molecule are present in the daughter molecules created.
What is semi-conservative?
Name 3 differences between Mitosis & Meiosis.
What is:
Mitosis - 1 division, identical genetic copy, asexual reproduction/ Body Cells, Metaphase single file, very little genetic variation, 2 identical cells produced
Meiosis - 2 divisions, genetically unique, sexual reproduction/ Germ Cells/ Gametes, Metaphase 1 paired chromosomes, significant genetic variation, 4 genetically unique cells produced
The correct order in which the molecules listed will be used to create a protein:
tRNA - Protein - DNA - Amino Acid - mRNA
What is DNA --> mRNA --> tRNA --> Amino Acid
--> Protein?

What is asparagus?
