The difference between these two terms is one you see in an organism and the other you cannot
What is phenotype and genotype?
100
This nitrogenous base is not found in DNA
What is uracil?
100
This enzyme prevents chromosomes from decreasing in length after every round of replication.
What is telomerase?
100
Any change in DNA.
What is a mutation?
200
Uncontrolled cell division
What is cancer?
200
If a gene is ____________ it will NOT assort independently.
What is linked?
200
The process in which DNA makes messenger RNA
What is transcription?
200
This enzyme catalyzes the elongation of a new DNA strand (it adds new nucleotides)
What is DNA polymerase?
200
The type of mutation that swaps one base for another.
What is a substitution mutation?
300
This is any cancer causing agent.
What is a carcinogen?
300
This genetic disorder is inherited recessively and includes symptoms like mucus buildup in the lungs. The mutate gene results in the loss of a protein channel.
What is cystic fibrosis?
300
The process in which DNA is synthesized from a template strand.
What is replication?
300
The site of replication in eukaryotes.
What is the origin of replication?
300
Because the genetic code is redundant, this type of mutation changes a base pair but not a protein.
What is a silent mutation?
400
The formation of new blood vessels.
What is angiogenesis?
400
This law states that during the formation of gametes, the two traits are carried by each parent separately.
What is the law of segregation?
400
The process in which a polypeptide strand is synthesized using mRNA as a template.
What is translation?
400
The end of the DNA strand to which new nucleotides are added.
What is the 3' end?
400
When a substitution mutation occurs and changes a regular amino acid to a stop codon (causing translation to cease).
What is a nonsense mutation?
500
When the cells stop growing due to overcrowding.
What is contact inhibition or density-dependent inhibition?
500
The blood grouping in humans is an example of ___________ alleles.
What is multiple? Note: Blood shows codominance (ex: A and B antigens present on the blood cell)
500
The process in which foreign DNA is taken up by a bacterial cell
What is transformation?
500
These 100-200 nucleotide long segements of DNA are eventually joined together by DNA ligase.
What are Okazaki fragments?
500
This type of mutation affects the entire reading frame.
