Explain the relationship between DNA and proteins
DNA is a set of instructions for making proteins

Explain the law of independent assortment:
Allele pairs separate independently during gamete formation

What determines traits that an organism has?
The sequence of nitrogenous bases in deoxyribonucleic acid
200
Explain the universal genetic code:
The basic components of DNA are the same in all organisms
200
Describe the 2 molecules of DNA after replication has taken place:
two molecules of DNA - both identical to each other, each with one original and one new strand

If a father is color blind, and the mother is a carrier, what are the odds that their sons will be color blind?
50%
300
Homologous chromosomes exchange alleles randomly during what phase?
Prophase 1 of Meiosis 1
300
Give 3 differences between meiosis and mitosis:
1. Meiosis has 2 divisions, mitosis only 1. ; 2. Meiosis produces gametes, mitosis produces body cells. ; 3. Meiosis produces genetically different cells, Mitosis produces 2 genetically identical daughter cells

A white mouse breeds with a black mouse. The have all green offspring. What is this an example of?
Incomplete dominance
300
In Edinburgh, Scotland these "mortsafes" were installed over MANY graves during the early 1800's. WHY!?
Body snatching for medical research
During the 18th and 19th centuries, the demand for human corpses at the Edinburgh Medical College was high for the study of anatomy. Legal sources of bodies (executed criminals) were insufficient, creating a lucrative, illegal trade in fresh bodies.

What are the genotypes of the parents who have offspring with all genotypes Bb?
BB x bb

What does rRNA stand for? What role does it play during protein synthesis?
Ribosomal RNA; It links amino acids together to create proteins during translation
400
Give 3 possible outcomes of a mutation in the DNA:
Nothing could happen (the same protein is produced properly); cancer ; A protein could be produced that doesn't work well, or at all
400
The strand of DNA (ATC) went through a mutation. It is now (AGT). Will this affect the protein?
Yes. You now have 2 different codons that code for two totally different things.

Name this structure and explain its role in protein synthesis:
Nucleotide; it is the monomer of both DNA and RNA ; 3 code for an amino acid
500
Name this structure and explain its role in protein synthesis.
Amino acid
They link together to build proteins (monomers)
