Proteins are polypeptides made of?
What is Amino Acids
separates DNA strands?
Helicase
one organism provides all the DNA and produces a clone of itself?
asexual reproduction
a single base pair substitution alters the genetic code in a way that produces an amino acid that is different from the usual amino acid at that position
Missense Mutation
Different versions of a gene that can be inherited.
Alleles
What 2 stages occur in all organisms?
What is Transcription and Translation
Proteins that accelerate chemical reactions without being consumed?
Enzymes
the changing of the structure of a gene?
Mutations
a mutation in which a sense codon that corresponds to one of the twenty amino acids specified by the genetic code is changed to a chain-termination codon?
Nonsense Mutation
The genetic information
Genotype
the synthesis of RNA using information from DNA?
Occurs in the nucleus
What it Transcription
observable characteristics passed down from parent to offspring?
Traits
the replacement of one amino acid in a protein with a different amino acid?
Substitution
the insertion or deletion of nucleotide bases in numbers that are not multiples of three?
Frame-Shift Mutation
The observable characteristics resulting from the genotype, often influenced by the environment
Phenotype
the synthesis of a polypeptide using information from RNA?
Occurs at the ribosome
What is Translation
The passing of traits from parents to offspring?
heredity
the addition of one or more nucleotides into a segment of DNA?
Insertion
A genetic change in which a piece of one chromosome breaks off and attaches to another chromosome?
Translocation
The alleles that an organism receives from its parents can be the same
homozygous
the process of making a copy of DNA.
DNA replication
two organisms contribute DNA to produce a new organism?
sexual reproduction
the change of a single DNA nucleotide within a protein-coding portion of a gene does not affect the sequence of amino acids that make up the gene's protein?
Silent Mutation
the two alleles might be different
heterozygous
the mating of two organisms
cross
