The physical traits you see in the offspring of the F1 generation.
What is the phenotype
100
This is where DNA replication is actively taking place on the DNA strand. There are multiple in eukaryotes and one in prokaryotes.
What is the replication bubble

The process by which mRNA is made from DNA.
What is transcription
100
The body's immune cells that act as a response to an foreign antigen.
What are antibodies

T/F: The anticodon found on the tRNA pairs with a codon found on the mRNA.

T/F: This is an example of a test cross: AABb x aaBb
What is false

In this model, two DNA strands separate and each serves as a template for DNA synthesis.
What is the semi-conservative model

These are the three parts of a DNA molecule.
What are nitrogenous bases, deoxyribose sugar, phosphate groups

Lisa's parents genotype if: Lisa’s father is colorblind, but neither she nor her mother is colorblind. However, her brother is colorblind.
What is XCXc, XcY

T/F: Codons are triplets of nucleotides found on mRNA which are read in the 5’ to 3’ direction.
What is true
300
When both alleles are expressed in the phenotype of the heterozygote and neither allele is recessive.
What is codominance

The possible gametes produced from a sexually reproducing organism has two linked genes, arm length (A) and foot size (F) and has a genotype AaFf.
What is AF, Af, aF and af
300
The sequence of amino acids that is coded by UUGGGCCCUAAU.
What is leu-gly-pro-asn
400
When an entire set of chromosomes do not segregate correctly and the ploidy condition of the organism changes
What is polyploidy/aneuploidy
400
This is an enzyme that synthesizes a short strand of RNA because DNA polymerase cannot start on its own.
What is primase
400
T/F: A tRNA molecule brings the amino acid to be added to the growing polypeptide chain and contains a codon consisting of three nucleotides.
What is false
400

What is AO(man), BO(woman), OO(child)
400
This site holds the tRNA in place while the amino acids are added to the growing peptide.
What is the p-site
