What is Transformation?
These are the 4 nitrogenous bases in DNA
What are adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine.
The process occurs during late interphase and results in the same complete set of DNA molecules
What is Replication?
He is the father of modern genetics

These are the two sets of base pairs
What are A=T and G=C?
The genetic makeup of an organism is called this.
What is genotype?
These cells contain only a single set of chromosomes
What are haploid cells?
This is the process of cell division necessary for sexual reproducation
What is meiosis?
These are the types of bonds in DNA.
What are covalent bonds?
These are the proteins around which chromatin is tightly coiled.
What are histones?
This is a chart used to describe the probability of genetic inheritance?
