_________ is the SHAPE of DNA...
What is a Double Helix?
This type of RNA is transcribed by RNA Polymerase, during the first of two processes in Protein Synthesis.
What is Messenger RNA (mRNA)?
The organelle where the second stage of protein synthesis occurs.
What is a ribosome?
This person is known as the "father" of genetics
Who is Gregor Mendel?
The types of cells made during meiosis.
What are gametes?
The branch of biological science that studies heredity
What is Genetics.
The term used to describe a pair of chromosomes that have the same genetic information and are the same size and shape.
What are homologous chromosomes?
The type of RNA that carries amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.
What is Transfer RNA (tRNA)?
This molecule brings the corresponding amino acid to the ribosome during protein synthesis.
What is transfer RNA?
The passing of traits, or characters, from parents to offspring.
What is Heredity
The process that occurs during Prophase 1 that helps promote genetic diversity by having sister chromatids exchange genetic information during prophase I.
What is crossing-over?
The observable characteristics or traits of an organism
What is a phenotype
The ultimate goal of meiosis
What is genetic diversity?
The full, unabbreviated name of DNA
What is deoxyribonucleic acid?
A specific code sequence that lets the RNA Polymerase enzyme know to stop reading and copying DNA code.
What is a Stop Code.
The corresponding amino acid for the codon: UUG
What is Leucine
Three pea plant characteristics studied by Mendel
What are flower color, flower position, seed shape, pod shape, pod color, stem length
During this stage of Meiosis, pairs of homologous chromosomes line up in the center of the cell where Independ Assortment can then occur.
What is Metaphase I?
