In dogs, black fur (B) is dominant over yellow fur (b).  A heterozygous black dog is mated with a yellow dog.

            Do a punnett square to show the cross and predict the offspring (phenotypes and genotypes)

What is Bb x bb?

G= 1:2:1

P= 3 black 1 yellow

These are the building blocks of proteins.
What are amino acids?

The 4 nitrogen bases of DNA
What are Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine?
200
The sequence of nucleotide bases on mRNA that would complement the following bases on DNA: A T T C G C A G T
What is U A A G C G U C A

 An aquatic arthropod called a Cyclops has antennae that are either smooth or barbed.  The allele for barbs is dominant.  In the same organism, resistance to pesticides is a recessive trait.   Make a “key” to show all the possible genotypes (and phenotypes) of this organism.

What is B=Barbed  b=smooth R=No resistance r =Resistance?

200
The bonds that link amino acids together.
What are peptide bonds?
300
Two things that happen in the nucleus involving DNA
What are DNA Replication and Transcription?
300
The full names for the three different types of RNA
What are messenger RNA, transfer RNA and ribosomal RNA?
300
Anticodons and amino acids are found on this molecule.
What is transfer RNA?
300

These special types of proteins help to unzip DNA and match up complementary nucleotide bases during DNA replication and protein synthesis.

What are enzymes?

400
The three parts of the DNA nucleotide (building block)
What are deoxyribose sugar, phosphate group and nitrogen base?
400
The names of the 4 nitrogen bases of RNA.
What are Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine and Uracil?
400
Groups of three bases on a mRNA molecule
What is a codon?

A disease that results in a change in the shape of hemoglobin in red blood cells due to a point mutation.

What is sickle cell anemia?

500
The reason why DNA replication happens.

500
Two differences between the STRUCTURE of RNA and DNA.
What is DNA is double stranded and RNA is single stranded? What is RNA has RIbose and DNA has Deoxyribose? What is RNA has the base Uracil and DNA has the base Thymine?
500
This is the anticodon for CAG
What is GUC?
