This part of a nucleotide is represented by 4 letters

What is a base GCAT 

100

This person is known for his work in the garden, and was coined the father of modern genetics

Who is Gregor Mendel

100

The complimentary strand for TTGCA is _________

What is AACGT

100

This term describes the twisted shape of DNA, which looks like a spiral staircase or a twisted ladder.

What is "Double Helix"?

100
The first step of the engineering process is to ASK. In this portion the engineer is asking what is the _________ you're trying to solve, and what are the criteria and constraints.

what is the problem 

200
In a nucleotide, behind every base is a __________

Deoxyribose (Sugar)

200

This trait controlled by this type of allele, will ALWAYS show up if at least one copy is present.

What is DOMINANT

200

In a codon there are this many base pairs

What is 3 base pairs
200

The sides of the DNA ladder are made up of these two types of molecules.

What are "Sugar and Phosphate"?

200

In this step, engineers brainstorm different ideas and come up with creative solutions before choosing the best one.

What is step 2- Imagine

300

In a nucleotide, behind every Sugar is a ___________

Phosphate

300

This type of allele is only expressed if two copies are inherited, one from each parent.

 What is "Recessive"?

300

This type of mutation occurs when a single nucleotide is substituted, possibly changing one amino acid in the protein.

What is "Point Mutation"?

300

 A large section of DNA that provides instructions for making a amino acids for a protein is called this.

What is "Gene"?

300

Before building, engineers follow this step to create a model, blueprint, or sketch of their designan

What is step 3- Plan

400

Each base has a designated counterpart, another base that they pair with.

Cytosine pairs with Guanine, and Adenine pairs with _____ 

What is Thymine

400

An organism with two identical alleles for a trait, like BB or bb, is described by this term.

What is "Homozygous"?

400

This type of mutation happens when one or more nucleotides are removed from a DNA sequence, potentially altering every amino acid after the change.

 What is "Deletion"?

400

Genes are stored on these thread-like structures, which are found inside the nucleus of a cell.

What are "Chromosomes"?

400

After building a prototype, engineers do this to see if their design works and meets the goal.

What is step 4- Test it out

500
This is the small weak structure that holds the bases together with their pair in the middle.

What is a Hydrogen Bond

500

In this type of dominance, a red flower and a white flower cross to produce a pink flower.

 What is "Incomplete Dominance"?

500

This type of mutation occurs when one or more nucleotides are added to a DNA sequence, causing a shift in the reading frame.

What is "Insertion"?

500
Cells read genes that code for amino acids, amino acids are the building blocks of _________

What are protiens

500

Engineers use this final step to fix problems and make their design better after testing

What is step 5 "Improve"?
