DNA Structure/Function
This is the name of the shape of DNA.
What is the Double Helix?
This many nitrogen bases makes up a codon.
What is 3?
In a human, Mitosis starts with how many chromosomes and occurs in these types of cells.
What is 46 and body (somatic) cells?
This occurs in sexual reproduction when a sperm combines with an egg.
What is fertilization?
This is the type of trait that blocks out other traits?
What is Dominant?
These are the building blocks of DNA
What is a Nucleotide?
Codons code for this.
amino acids
In a human, Meiosis starts with how many chromosomes and creates what types of cells also known as sperm or egg.
What is 46 and gamete cells?
This type of reproduction produces genetically identical offspring.
What is asexual reproduciton?
This is the name of different versions of a gene/trait.
What is an allele?
These are the 3 parts of a Nucleotide?
What is a phosphate, a deoxyribose (sugar), and a nitrogen base
This is a section of DNA found on a chromosome that makes a specific protein.
What is genes?
Mitosis produces this kind of identical cell with this many chromosomes (if a human).
What is diploid with 46 chromosomes.
These are 3 major advantages of sexual reproduction.
What is genetic variation, increased chances to adapt, and ability to select a mate for desired traits.
This is the genotype Mm.
What is heterozygous?
These are the names of the 4 nitrogen bases found in a DNA molecule.
What is Adenine, Thymine, Guanine and Cytosine?
A mutation occurs when these things occur to a nitrogen base.
What is added, deleted or swapped?
Meiosis produces this kind of unique cells with this many chromosomes (if a human).
What is haploid with 23 chromosomes.
These are the 3 major advantages of asexual reproduction.
What is less time/energy, ability to produce more offspring, requires only one parent (fast)?
This is the genotype MM.
What is Homozygous Dominant?
Please use base pair ruling to find the complementary strand.
AGGTACTGC
What is
TCCATGACG?
This will cause a neutral mutation.
When the change in nitrogen base does not change the amino acid attached.
or
When the change in the amino acid does not benefit or hurt the organism.
These are the names of the phases that occur 1x in Mitosis and 2x in meiosis.
What is Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase (PMAT)
This is the major disadvantage of asexual reproduction.
What is low genetic variation that may cause a species to go extinct if an environment rapidly changes.
If Purple flowers are dominant (P) and the parents' genotypes are PP and pp, this is the percentage of offspring that could have a Purple phenotype?
What is 100%?
