Surprise Me!
100
The type of nucleic acid that is double stranded and contains the sugar deoxyribose.
DNA
100
This is the process of converting a mRNA message into a sequence of amino acids to form a protein.
translation
100
This is the part of interphase when DNA is replicated.
S phase
100
The "father of genetics."
Gregor Mendel
100
The molecule pictured here:
RNA
200
Nucleic acids like DNA and RNA are made up of building blocks of this.
nucleotides
200
This is the name for a three base sequence of mRNA; each one is translated into an amino acid.
codon
200
The stage of mitosis pictured here:
metaphase
200
The genotype of a heterozygous black mouse if black fur (B) is dominant to white fur (b).
Bb
200
An advantage of meiosis over mitosis.
leads to genetic diversity
300
This process happens in the nucleus and involves making an RNA copy of a DNA message.
transcription
300
This is the site of translation.
Ribosome
300
The asexual reproduction process that results in two genetically identical daughter cells.
mitosis
300
In the Punnett Square shown, the number of possible genotypes (out of 4) that are homozygous dominant.
2
300
How many males in the pedigree shown have the trait?
one
400
This is the DNA sequence that was transcribed to AUG CCU
TAC GGA
400
This is the molecule labeled with an A in the diagram below.
tRNA
400
The sexual reproduction process that produces 4 gametes per parent cell.
meiosis
400
The percent chance of offspring having black fur if white fur (W) is dominant over black fur (w) in the Punnett Square below.
50%
400
If a BB cat is black, a bb cat is white, and a Bb cat has black and white spots, then cat fur color is _______.
codominant
500
This is the enzyme responsible for matching up the bases and joining nucleotides together to form a strand of mRNA.
RNA polymerase
500
This is the type of mutation that changes CUA to CAA, resulting in a different amino acid.
Missense mutation.
500
The phenomenon that occurs during Prophase I, that leads to increased genetic variation.
crossing over
500
When a homozygous red and homozygous white flower are crossed, the color of all the offspring in the next generation, if flower color shows incomplete dominance.
pink
500
The result of a nonsense mutation.
a stop codon ends the protein too soon
