What is the probability of the offspring getting heterozygous genotype?
50%
If bases on one side of a DNA strand read AGCTA what bases would be on the connecting side?
TCGAT
What does the mRNA do?
It takes a copy of the DNA base sequence usig AUCG and takes it out of the nucleus into the ribosome
What are phenotypes?
Where did Hailey grow up?
Portland OR
Is this genotype heterozygous, homozygous recessive or homozygous dominant?
Rr
Heterozygous
What is the role of proteins in genetics?
Proteins are the final product based on the genes instructions, they show up as traits.
What does the tRNA do?
Brings the ribosome amino acids based on the code (broken up into sets of 3 bases)
What is an allele?
A version of a gene
What is Emmas cat name?
Poppy
In guinea pigs black fur is dominant, white is recessive.
A guinea pigs has the genotype Pp, what colors is its fur?
Black
What are the three components of a DNA nucleotide?
Sugar, phosphate, base (A,T,C or G)
What does the ribosome do?
translates the base code for the tRNA, and puts amino acids together to form proteins
What is a gene?
What is a segment of DNA on a chromosome that codes for a specific trait
What is Hailey's favorite color?
Orange
Cleft chin is dominant. No cleft chin is recessive. What would the phenotype be for a offspring with a Cc genotype?
Cleft chin
What is the DNA's structure made of?
Sugar (deoxyribose) and phosphate
A gene has the bases GCTCTA what bases would its mRNA transcribe?
CGAGAU
What is this called? and what is its function?
Chromosome, it is organized and packaged DNA.
Where did Emma grow up?
South Dakota
Is this genotype heterozygous, homozygous recessive or homozygous dominant?
rr
Homozygous recessive
How many chromosomes are in a human genome?
46 (2 sets of 23)
What happens if there is an error during transcription or translation?
There will be a mutation. It could be harmless like blue eyes, or it could cause diseases or make a fetus not viable.
What happens during transcription?
DNA is copied into a single-stranded RNA molecule called messenger RNA (mRNA)
What is Emmas moon sign?
Virgo
What is the probability of the offspring showing the dominant phenotype?
75%
Genes contain instructions to make what?
Proteins
What is a codon?
A three-base sequence on an mRNA molecule that specifies a particular amino acid
What happens during translation?
mRNA is read by ribosomes, which assemble amino acids into a protein chain
When is Hailey's birthday?
June 19th
