Genetics
the passing of genes from an parent to an offspring
what is heredity
the change in a DNA strand
what is mutation
a double helix or a twisted lader
what is the shape of a DNA strand
the process of a mutation becoming more common
what is natural selection
a trait or feature common in a population
what is adaptation
genotype
the combination of alleles
A goes with T and G goes with C
what is the patterns of DNA
the carrier of genetic information
what is DNA
this can benefit animals and help them survive
digs swims, uses tool, howls, hunts at night,
what is an example of behavioral adaptations
weaker gene. for example; being created with two eye color genes, then having the week one hide
what is a recessive gene
a condition of short stature caused in DNA
what is dwarfism
the proof readers of the DNA strands
what is polymerases
animals not adapting and getting the correct mutations they need
what is causing extinction without a mutation
webbed feet, claws, color, fur, strips, large eyes
what is an example of physical adaptations
stronger gene. for example; being created with two eye color genes, then having the strong one show through
what is dominate
a mutation in DNA causing an extra chromosome
what is down syndrome
A, T, G, C
what is an allele in DNA
there are more white rabbits than brown rabbits in the end
what is more common mutation
changing, and adapting to thrive in the environment
animals benefiting form natural section in the environment
2 genes
how many genes an offspring gets from each parent
the failure of one or more pairs of homogeneous chromosomes separating normally during nuclear division resulting in abnormal distributions
what is nondisjunction
base pairs don't match up correctly
there are less colored fish than non colored fish at the end
what is less common
eating, sleeping, running.
what is an example of a non-adaptation
