DNA Structure
What is adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine?
Term for an organisms genetic makeup.
What is genotype?
Known as the father of genetics
The genotypes of a cross between two heterozygous pea plants (Tt x Tt).
What is TT, Tt, Tt, and tt?
Ms. Byrd's new last name.
What is Montgomery?
The shape of the DNA molecule.
What is double helix?
Term for an organisms appearance.
What is phenotype?
Terms used to describe traits that are expressed.
What is dominant?
The phenotypes of a cross between two heterozygous pea plants (Tt x Tt). T=tall t=short
What is 3 tall and 1 short?
Ms. Byrd's favorite drink.
What is Dr. Pepper OR coffee?
What is a sugar, phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base?
A variant form of a gene
What is an allele?
Term used to describe traits that are hidden but can still be passed down to offspring.
What is recessive?
Genetic outcomes for a cross between a homozygous dominant (TT) and a homozygous recessive (tt) pea plant.
What is all offspring will be heterozygous tall Tt?
Ms. Byrd's favorite thing to eat after dinner.
What are chocolate chip cookies?
This base pairs with adenine in DNA.
What is thymine?
Having two identical alleles for a particular gene
What is homozygous?
The probability of having a child with blue eyes if both parents are heterozygous for brown eyes
What is 25%?
The probability of getting a homozygous recessive offspring from a cross between two heterozygous parents.
Ms. Byrd's favorite thing to do.
This bond holds the nitrogenous bases together.
What is hydrogen bond?
Having two different alleles for a particular gene
Punnett squares are used for this
What is to predict the outcome of a genetic cross?
The possible genotypes of the offspring if a heterozygous tall pea plant (Tt) is crossed with a short pea plant (tt).
What is Tt and tt?
The amount of years Ms. Byrd has been teaching.
What is 3?
