Nucleic Acids
The two main types of nucleic acids.
What is DNA and RNA?
These are four nitrogen bases in DNA.
What is Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Thymine
A set of three bases is called this
What is a codon?
This term is a segment of DNA coding for a trait
What is a gene?
What are homozygous recessive?
While RNA can be found in the cytoplasm, RNA also has this common location with DNA.
What is the Nucleus?
This DNA base pairs with the DNA base Adenine
What is Thymine?
The purpose of this process is to copy a gene's DNA sequence into mRNA.
What is Transcription
These are different forms of a gene, represented by upper and lower cases letters
What are alleles?
These are written along the top and the side of the punnett square.
What are the parents genotypes?
Main function of RNA.
What is to carry and translate genetic information from DNA to make proteins
This tRNA base pairs with the mRNA base Adenine
What is Uracil?
This protein synthesis process occurs in the ribosomes in these two locations.
What is the cytoplasm and rough ER.
This term is the physical trait expressed
What is phenotype?
What is 50%
Main function of DNA
What is to store genetic information and instructions for making proteins?
This base can be found in DNA but not in RNA
What is Thymine?
This biomolecule brings amino acids matching codons on mRNA.
What is tRNA?
If "B" represents brown eyes and "b" represents blue eyes, someone with blue eyes will have this genotype.
What is bb?
True or False
A Homozygous Dominant parent with a Heterozygous parent will have a chance of having a Homozygous Recessive child.
What is False?
These are large biomolecules that store and transmit genetic information.
What is a Nucleic acid?
During transcription, Cytosine and Guanine are pairs. Adenine pairs with Thymine, but what pairs with Adenine?
What is Uracil?
After transcription is completed, this process then takes place.
What is translation?
This terms means two different alleles in a genotype
What is Heterozygous?
This is a tool to predict the probability of offspring genotypes and phenotypes based on parental alleles.
What is a punnett square?
