100

The passing on of physical or mental characteristics genetically from one generation to another.

What is Heredity?

100

This is a compound consisting of a nucleoside linked to a phosphate group. They form the basic structural unit of nucleic acids such as DNA.


What is a nucleotide? 

100

This separates the genome and ensure that the two daughter cells inherit an equal and identical complement of chromosomes

What is the purpose of mitosis? 

100
This is one of two or more alternative forms of a gene that arise by mutation and are found at the same place on a chromosome.


What is an allele?

100

This is DNA that has been formed artificially by combining constituents from different organisms.


What is recombinant DNA? 

200

This is the study of genes, genetic variation, and heredity in organisms.

What is Genetics?

200

RNA contains the sugar ribose, while DNA contains the slightly different sugar deoxyribose (a type of ribose that lacks one oxygen atom), and (b) RNA has the nucleobase uracil while DNA contains thymine.

What are the differences between DNA and RNA?

200

Gap 1 (G1), synthesis (S), Gap 2 (G2), and mitosis (M)

What are the phases of the cell cycle?

200

This is the set of observable characteristics of an individual resulting from the interaction of its genotype with the environment.


What is a phenotype? 

200

This project was an international scientific research project with the goal of determining the base pairs that make up human DNA, and of identifying, mapping and sequencing all of the genes of the human genome from both a physical and a functional standpoint. It started in 1990 and was completed in 2003. 

What is the Human Genome Project?

300

A long DNA molecule with part or all of the genetic material of an organism

What is a Chromosome?

300

The Cell Nucleus

Where is DNA found?

300

Mitosis occurs infinitely. The cells never die in cancer, as cancer cells can utilize telomerase to add many telomeric sections to the ends of DNA during DNA replication, allowing the cells to live much longer than other somatic cells. [3] With this mechanism, cancer cells that usually die simply continue to divide.

What is the relationship between mitosis and cancer?

300
By experimenting with pea plant breeding this person 

developed three principles of inheritance that described the transmission of genetic traits, before anyone knew genes existed.

Who was Gregor Mendel?

300

This is a genetic engineering tool that uses a CRISPR sequence of DNA and its associated protein to edit the base pairs of a gene.

What is CRISPR?

400

This is a set of one maternal and one paternal chromosome that pair up with each other inside a cell during fertilization.

What are homologous chromosomes?

400

adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C) and guanine (G)

What are the bases of DNA?
400

This is a special type of cell division of germ cells in sexually-reproducing organisms that produces the gametes, such as sperm or egg cells. It involves two rounds of division that ultimately result in four cells with only one copy of each chromosome

What is meiosis?

400

This results from a cross in which each parental contribution is genetically unique and gives rise to progeny whose phenotype is intermediate

What is incomplete dominance?

400

This is the process of determining an individual's deoxyribonucleic acid characteristics.

What is DNA Profiling?

500
The number and visual appearance of the chromosomes in the cell nuclei of an organism or species.

What is a Karyotype?

500

This contains the instructions needed for an organism to develop, survive and reproduce.

What are the functions of DNA

500

During this phase of mitosis do spindle fibers first.

What is Prophase?

500

This is a way a genetic trait or condition can be passed down from parent to child through mutations (changes) in a gene on the X chromosome

What is an X-linked trait?

500

This is a plant, animal or microbe in which one or more changes have been made to the genome, typically using high-tech genetic engineering, in an attempt to alter the characteristics of an organism.

What is a GMO?
