Tiny Invaders, Big Problems
100

While mitosis begins with a human diploid cell, it ends containing this number of chromosomes

46

100

This type of allele can be hidden in a parent yet fully expressed in the offspring.

recessive

100

While o- is known as the universal donor, this bloodtype wants to take everything 

AB+

100

This nitrogenous base takes over for thymine in ribose sugars

uracil

100

In this viral pathway, the genome hides quietly in the host before ever making new viruses.

lysogenic

200

This phase is known to seperate sister chromatids on opposite sides of the cell

Anaphase

200

This process explains why small, isolated populations often reveal deleterious recessive traits.

Inbreeding

200

This allele interaction describes my pink colouration compared to my red mom and white dad. 

incomplete dominance

200

When two genes are less than 50 map units apart, this process explains their occasional separation.

recombination

200

You won’t pick up DNA from the environment here, it will only occur by shaking hands with another cell.

conjugation

300

In 1882, Flemming discovered that the S phase, of the cell cycle, produces these two identical dsDNA molecules

sister chromatids

300

Even though one allele is broken, you’re fine, your single working copy proves this principle.

haplosufficiency

300

Gametes which contain two copies of a chromosome represent this genetic failure

nondisjunction

300

If adenine makes up 33% of a DNA sample, Chargaff’s rules say this base must make up the same percentage.

Thymine

300

This immune-evasion method relies not on hiding, but on pretending to be the host.

mimicry

400

During M-phase, chromosomes become compact rods, which are held together at this junction

centromere

400

Due to this phenomenon, a child born to two deaf parents has the ability to hear.

Complementation

400

Girls with only one X instead of two illustrate this type of chromosomal imbalance.

Aneuploidy (Turner Syndrome) 

400

In 1928, this scientist discovered proof that DNA is the genetic material in a cell.

Frederick Griffith

400

A bacterium’s bonus DNA, often exchanged during conjugation, is called this.

plasmids

500

Although mitosis is often said to include cytokinesis, the first four phases are collectively referred to by this name

Karyokinesis

500

One genetic phenomenon explains both this man’s cystic fibrosis and his difficulty keeping food down. 

Pleiotropy

500

If a plant doubles all its own chromosomes instead of borrowing some from another species, it becomes this.

autopolyploid

500

Although both primers synthesize 5’→3’, this primer binds to the bottom strand to start replication

forward primer

500

In Hfr bacteria, the orientation of this element determines which genes are transferred first and in what direction
