General Genetics I
This type of traits will only show up / "win" if a person has two copies of the them
What are recessive traits
The number of chromosomes present in all the cells of your body
This shape represents a male on a pedigree chart
What is a square
Cells with 26 chromosomes
What is diploid
The "Father of Genetics"
What is Gregor Mendel
These type of traits will show up / "win" even if only one copy of them is present
What are dominant traits
The organelle where we find the instructions for all of our traits
What is the nucleus
A half shaded circle on a pedigree means this
What is hybrid (unaffected carrier) female
Cells with only 23 chromosomes
What are haploid
The overall structure / shape of a DNA molecule is known as a
What is a double helix
When two of the same alleles are present (BB, bb)
What is homozygous (purebred)
When you mix a red flower and a white flower to get a speckled white and red flower, you get this type of inheritance
What is codominance
A form of selective breeding that occurs between animals of the same genus
What is hybridization
Why do we need RNA?
Because DNA can't leave the nucleus to go make proteins --> RNA has to!
This type of nitrogenous base is only present in RNA
What is uracil
When a mix of alleles is present (Bb)
What is heterozygous (hybrid)
When you mix a white flower and a red flower to get a pink flower, you get this type of inheritance
What is incomplete dominance
A word used to describe how most hybrid animals are unable to reproduce
What is sterile
Happens during Prophase I in order to add genetic diversity to life
What is chromosomes cross over
Coiled strands of DNA
What are chromosomes
The letter combination of a trait
What is a genotype
The physical expression of a trait (the trait that actually shows up)
What is the phenotype
Proteins are made up of these smaller molecules
What are amino acids
The last phase of Meiosis
What is Telophase II
DNA is ultimately used to create these
What are proteins
