What does heterozygous mean?

In DNA Guanine always pairs with what base?
Cytosine
At the Ribosome (in the cytoplasm)
What is the longest stage of the cell cycle?

A Tall (T) homozygous plant is pollinated by a heterozygous plant, what percentage of their offspring would be tall?
100%
What are the 3 parts of a DNA nucleotide?
Phosphate, Sugar (deoxyribose), Base (ATCG)
Will a mutation always change the protein?
No (silent mutation can substitute the base BUT not change the amino acid)
A somatic cell that starts with 50 chromosomes will have how many chromosomes after MITOSIS

If 22% of a fruit fly's DNA contained the base Thyamine, what percentage of its DNA would be Guanine?

What does tRNA do?
"transfer" RNA brings the amino acids to the ribosome to be added to the growing protein (peptide chain)
What is the phase in mitosis when all of the chromosomes line up at the equator?
Metaphase
These are the reactants of photosynthesis
Carbon Dioxide, Water with Light Energy
If coat color in mice was black (B) or white (b) and tail length was long (L) or short (l). If a female Mouse was heterozygous for BOTH traits, what combinations of alleles could her eggs have?
