Basics
humans have 46 of these total
What are chromosomes?
Write the matching sequence ACGGTCTG
What is TGCCAGAC
DNA and the environment affect these
what are traits?
Hh is
what is heterozygous
heterozygous is a
what is a hybrid?
DNA stands for
Deoxyribosenucleic acid
The passing of genes from one generation to another
what is heredity/ inheritance
The genetic combination of alleles for a specific organisim
What is genotype?
hh is this
homozygous recessive
This is an individual's observable traits, such as height, eye color, blood type, or behavior, resulting from the interaction of their genotype (genetic makeup) and environmental factors
What is a phenotype?
Adenine is one of these
what is a base?
Segments of DNA that give instructions for proteins
what are genes
A version of a gene is known as a
What is an allele?
This is when both alleles are expressed in an organism.
What is codominance?
The amount of alleles needed to show a recessive trait
what is two?
The shape of DNA
what is a double helix
The place where DNA is found within a cell
what is the nucleus?
These are the four bases for DNA
what are adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine
These are pairs of matching chromosomes in diploid organisms, with one inherited from each parent.
What are homologous chromosomes?
Blue (B) is dominant to yellow (b). Cross a heterozygous with yellow. The percent of offsping that could be yellow:
What is 50%?
A sugar, phosphate, and base make up one of these
what is a nucleotide?
A copying error
what is a mutation?
RNA is made in a process called this.
What is transcription?
This is a "blending" of alleles in an organism's phenotype
What is incomplete dominance?
Blue (B) is dominant to yellow (b). Cross a homozygous blue seed with a homozygous yellow seed. The percent of offspring that could be blue:
what is 100%?
