Gel electrophoresis allows geneticists to:

Separating DNA based on side to compare the DNA of multiple samples to look for similarities. 

200
What is the longest stage of the cell cycle?
Interphase
200

What is an allele?

A variation of a gene

200

A nucleotide is made of

deoxyribose sugar, phosphate, and nitrogenous base
200
How do the bases pair up on a strand of RNA?
Adenine with Uracil and Cytosine with Guanine
200

What is 2 sets of chromosomes called? What about one set?

Diploid, Haploid

300
What is the difference between meiosis and mitosis?
Meiosis is when the number of chromosomes is cut in half and mitosis is the division of the nucleus
300
What is the difference between dominant and recessive alleles?
Dominant alleles will always be visible while recessive will only be visible without the presence of dominant alleles
300
What is a photograph of an organism's chromosomes?
Karyotype
300

What is the only contributor of amino acids to protein synthesis?

tRNA

300

Characteristics of Mendel's pea plants that made them great for studying heredity?

They were truebreeding plants that mostly had one to two alleles for each gene that could be hybridized

What do spindle fibers attach to on the chromosomes?

Centromeres

What is the phenotypic ratio of Mom: Ddyy Dad: ddYy

D- dominant for yellow fur, d- recessive for red

Y- Dominant for wrinkled, y- recessive for sof

1:1:1:1

What is Chagraff's rule?
Adenine + Thymine and Cytosine + Guanine are equal in number.

What are the 4 phases of mitosis?

Prophase - Metaphase - Anaphase - Telophase

Incomplete dominance occurs when:

Neither of the two phenotypic traits are fully dominant over the other

500
What are the components of DNA's backbone?
Sugar-phosphate group
500
What are the 3 types of RNA?
Messenger RNA (mRNA), Transfer RNA (tRNA), and Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)

Contributions of: Griffith Chase/Hershey Avery
Griffith - explored genetic material with mice Chase/Hershey - confirmed DNA is the genetic material Avery - determined DNA is most likely the genetic material
