All life is specified by this
What is a genome?
The blueprint for life
What is DNA?
This is the DNA-containing structure that carries genetic material from one generation to the next
What is a chromosome?
This gives organisms the codes for their traits, development, etc.
What is DNA?
A segment of DNA that codes for a particular trait or protein
What is a gene?
This is what codons allow you to predict (final product of reading a codon chart)
What is amino acids?
Name for a 3 base sequence in DNA or RNA
What is a codon?
The 3 types of RNA
What is mRNA, rRNA, tRNA?
The structure (shape) of a chromosome
What is a double helix?
This makes up DNA
What is nucleotides?
Definition for genome
What is the total DNA in an organism?
The type of RNA that has codons
What is mRNA?
The process of proteins building cells
What is protein synthesis?
The name of each side of a chromosome
What is a chromatid?
The 4 bases of DNA
What is adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine?
The name for the first step of central dogma
What is transcription?
The name for the second step of central dogma
What is translation?
The molecule that must enter the process for protein synthesis to occur
What is RNA?
Where two chromatids connect
What is a centromere?
The 4 bases of RNA
What is adenine, uracil, guanine, cytosine
Find the amino acid for the GUA codon
What is valine?
The steps of central dogma
DNA gives instructions → RNA carries instructions to ribosomes → proteins
The 3 differences between RNA and DNA
Contains the sugar ribose
Single stranded, not double like DNA (helix)
Uracil pairs with adenine in base pairs, replaces thymine
How many pairs of chromosomes humans have
What is 23?
B (dom.) = Brown
b (rec.) = black
T = Tall
t= short
Cross two heterozygous (BbTt) and give the phenotypic ratios
