GENETICS
Who is the "Father of Genetics"
Gregor Mendel
How many cell divisions are involved in MEIOSIS
2 cell divisions
What does DNA stand for?
DeoxyriboNucleic Acid
Fisnt, DNA has to be transcribed into RNA, why?
DNA is transcribed into RNA so that the genetic information can be carried out the nucleus to make proteins
Who took a 5-year-long expedition around the world and delved into the theory of evolution through what process?
Charles Dawin - Natural selection
Why do chromosomes come in pairs?
Chromosomes come in pairs because you get one set from each parent
In which phase does crossing over happen?
Prophase 1
What is the shape of DNA?
What transcribing DNA into RNA, Uracil replaces which base?
Thymine
Speciation
The evolutionary process where new species arise from a single ancestral species.
How many chromosomes do most human cells have?
46 chromosomes
In which way is crossing over helpful?
new conbinations of genes
What are the base-pair rules?
apple-tree
car-garage
Adenine and Thymine
Cytosine and Guamine
Transcribe the following strand of DNA into RNA
TAG TGA ATG CCA TTC
AUC ACU UAC GGU AAG
A key ingredient to speciation is
Isolation
Which cells have only half a set of chromosomes?
Haploid cells
what type of cells are produced in meiosis?
Gametes - Haploid cells
Replicate the following strand of DNA.
ATG GGC TAG AAA CTG ATC
TAG CCG ATG TTT GAC TAC
What happens to a species if the environment changes faster than it can adapt?
It can go extinct.
Give examples of a heterozygous genotypes and homorozygous genotypes.
heterozygous - Rr Hh Kk Aa
Homozyous - RR HH KK AA
How many haploids gamete cells are produced by meiosis?
4 cells
Domain - King - Phylum - Class - Order - Family - Genus - Species
Dancing - Phil - Came- Over - For - Grape - Soda
