DNA
What is the genetic material an organism inherits from its parents
DNA
Genes are instructions for what?
Proteins
Produces two daughter cells genetically identical to the parent cell
Mitosis
Set of observable traits
Phenotype
Disease caused by mutations that allow cells to pass checkpoints in the cell cycle, even though the cell has experienced damage to the DNA
Cancer
This is a combination of DNA from 2 or more organisms
Recombinant DNA
Genes give us our what?
Phenotype
Cell division that divides twice and creates four daughter cells containing half the original amount of genetic information
Meiosis
How many chromosomes do you have?
46. 23 from each parent
Cancer treatment that effectively halts mitosis in the body
Chemotherapy
This occurs in the ribosome and requires mRNA, tRNA, and amino acids
Translation
An organism's genetic information, the set of alleles an organism has
Genotype
What is G1, S (Synthesis), and G2 called?
Interphase
Two chromosomes in a matching pair
Homologous Chromosomes
When the cancer cells shed and move to spread
Metastasis
This occurs in the nucleus and DNA, nucleotides, and DNA polymerase are needed
Transcription
An organism with two dominant alleles for a trait is said to have what genotype?
Homozygous dominant
You accidentally cut your skin and the damaged skin heals by
Mitosis
Two identical copies of a chromosome produced after DNA replication
Sister Chromatids
A tumor that can spread
Malignant tumor
What are the steps to turn DNA into a protein?
DNA, Transcription, mRNA, Translation, Protein
The organism has two copies of the same allele for a gene
Homozygous
In prophase I each cell is what?
A diploid cell
The process in which diploid cells undergo meiosis to become haploid gametes
Gametogenesis
A gene that promotes cancer by producing a faulty protein that fails to properly regulate the cell cycle
Oncogene
