Heredity
Condensed DNA that is wrapped around histone proteins.
What are chromosomes?
An allele that is always expressed if present.
What are dominant alleles?
What is phenotype?
A type of substitution in which DNA changes/mutates but the amino acids remain the same/correct.
What is a silent mutation?
A process that occurs in the nucleus and copies DNA into messenger RNA.
What is transcription?
Storage molecules for genetic information.
What is DNA?
What are recessive alleles?
A chart that tracks phenotypes.
What is a pedigree?
A type of mutation in which one amino acid is changed.
What is missense?
The part of protein synthesis in which protein is made/cooked.
What is Transcription?
A section of DNA that "codes" for a protein.
What is a gene?
What is having the same alleles?
Variation in an organism's genetic code.
What are mutations?
A type of mutation that codes for stop instead of an amino acid.
What is nonsense?
An enzyme that breaks down the hydrogen bonds in DNA to make mRNA
What is a RNA polymerase (erasy-thingy)
A characteristic determined by a gene.
What is a trait?
Heterozygous
What is having diffrent alleles?
Point mutation
A type of mutation where a base is removed.
What is deletion?
RNA that transfers amino acids and anti codons to ribosomes.
What is transfer RNA (tRNA)?
Specific version(s) of a gene.
What is/are alleles?
A description of all the alleles that are present in an organism.
What is a genotype?
A type of mutation in which a base is changed into another base.
What is substitution?
A type of mutation in which an additional base is added to DNA.
What is insertion?
The plug in or "window" for tRNA.
What is ribosome RNA (rRNA)?
