What are chromosomes?
Write the matching sequence ACGGTCTG (DNA)
What is TGCCAGAC
Give an example of a heterozygous genotype. Choose any letter.
What is Aa?
Hh is
what is heterozygous
Is hidden whenever the dominant allele is present
what is recessive allele
DNA stands for
Deoxyribosenucleic acid
The process of decoding a mRNA segment to build proteins
what is translation
Describes/ lists the alleles that an organism contains
What is genotype?
hh is this
homozygous recessive
What is a dominant trait?
What is a trait that only needs one copy of the gene to be expressed, masking the recessive trait.
Amino acids are the building blocks of
what is proteins
Segments of DNA that give instructions(codes) for proteins
what are genes
Alternate forms of a gene
What is an allele?
A sequence of 3 bases that code for an amino acid
what is a codon
The amount of alleles needed to show a recessive trait
what is two?
The shape of DNA
what is a double helix
The physical characteristics displayed by an organism.
what is phenotype
The four bases
the process of turning DNA to RNA
what is transcription
Blue (B) is dominant to yellow (b). Cross a heterozygous with yellow. The percent of offsping that could be yellow:
What is 50%?
The amino acid for mRNA UCU
what is Serine?
A copying error
what is a mutation?
In RNA, thymine is replaced with this base
what is uracil?
condensed DNA in a thread like structure
