Molecular Biology
This intercalates into the DNA and stains it for visualization.
What is Ethidium Bromide?
Dominant alleles mask recessive alleles.
What is the Law of Dominance?
Cellular reproduction resulting in the production of four distinct haploid cells.
What is Meiosis?
The ability to make energy with or without oxygen.
What is Facultative?
The rupture of red blood cells.
What is Hemolysis?
A sequence of DNA that reads the same 5' to 3' on the top strand and the bottom strand.
What is a Palindrome?
Version or alternative form of a gene.
What is Allele?
Containing two complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent.
What is Diploid?
Bacteria distinguished by a thick cell wall.
What is Gram-Positive?
A bright spot on a gel which indicates the presence of a DNA fragment.
What is a Band?
This is a single nucleotide difference between people's genomes.
What is a Single Nucleotide Polymorphism?
Fruit flies with no wings.
What is Apterous?
The growth and replication stage prior to cell division.
What is Interphase?
Bacterial classification characterized by the production of their own food and energy.
What is Autotroph?
Contains two of the same allele.
What is Homozygous?
The differences among people in their DNA sequences at sites recognized by restriction enzymes.
What is Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms?
Used to calculate the expected ratio of genotypes and phenotypes given the parents genotypes.
What is a Punnett Square?
The production of 4 haploid sperm in the testes.
What is Spermatogenesis?
Inhibits the growth of some types of bacteria and permits growth of other types.
What is Selective Media?
Growth media which is distinguished by its selective and differential qualities.
What is Eosin Methylene Blue (EMB)?
This bond composes the DNA backbone and is cleaved by restriction enzymes.
What is a Phosphodiester Bond?
Alleles for different genes end up in gametes independently of each other.
What is the Law of Independent Assortment?
Occurs in the ovaries and produces one functional gamete.
What is Oogenesis?
Provides a visual contrast between bacteria to tell different types apart.
What is Differential Media?
The cell division phase in which the sister chromatids are pulled apart.
What is Anaphase?
