Meiosis produces __ new cells.
4
Different forms of a gene
Alleles
Synthesis of RNA complementary to a template strand
Transcription
The type of bond between the nitrogenous bases on DNA
Hydrogen bond
The exchange of genes between homologous chromosomes
Crossing over
A cross intended to study two different traits
Dihybrid cross
The three-base sequence on mRNA that tRNA uses to provide the correct amino acid
Codon
A protein that unwinds the parental double helix at the replication fork
Helicase
The phase when chromosomes replicate in preparation for meiosis
Interphase
Creates a blended phenotype
Incomplete dominance
A mutation resulting in the improper grouping of the nucleotides into codons
Frameshift mutation
Series of segments synthesized discontinuously by the lagging strand
Okazaki fragments
Error in meiosis when homologous chromosomes fail to separate which results in gametes with too many or too few chromosomes
Non-disjunction
A single phenotypic character is affected by two or more genes
Polygenic inheritance
The three steps of transcription
1) Initiation
2) Elongation
3) Termination

16
2n=8

Type-AB, type-A, and type-B
Plays catalytic roles and structural roles in ribosomes
rRNA
Removal of RNA polymerase III from nucleoplasm will affect the synthesis of __.
tRNA
