Where is DNA found in the cell?
Meiosis
Homozygous Dominant
Homozygous Recessive
Heterozygous
Dominant = AA
Recessive = aa
Heterozygous = Aa
What is ONE difference between DNA and RNA?
DNA = double stranded / deoxyribose sugar / ATCG
RNA = single stranded / ribose sugar / AUCG
Do a Punnett square of AA and Aa.
What are the possible baby genotypic percentages?
50% AA
50% Aa
What is DNA?
The genetic code for life
Which process is asexual? Used for body cells (somatic)?
Mitosis
Genotype =
the genetics
AA, aa, Aa
Why is DNA important?
Is it the code for life
It makes you YOU
It makes the code to make babies
Babies = life
Do a cross between a homozygous recessive mom and a homozygous dominant dad.
What is the genotypic ratio?
100% Aa
What are the DNA letter rules? (ACTG)
A = ?
C = G
Which process is used for sexual reproduction?
Meiosis
Phenotype =
the physical trait you can see on the organism
EX: brown hair, tall or short
What do punnett squares represent?
The possible genetic outcomes of an offspring (baby) when you have the parents genotypes.
In monkeys, being playful (P) is dominant to being paranoid (p). A heterozygous female is crossed with a homozygous dominant male.
What are the percentages of the offspring?
50% PP
50% Pp
100% playful
What are the RNA letter rules?
A = U
C = G
Which process has crossing over in metaphase?
Meiosis
Antiparallel
running opposite of each other
different directions
the shape of DNA antiparallel double helix
What are the 4 nitrogenous bases of DNA?
Double point for FULL CORRECTLY SPELLED NAME
In corn, smooth kernels (K) are dominant to wrinkled kernels (k).
A farmer crosses two corn plants that are heterozygous for kernel texture.
What are the odds that the offspring will have smooth kernels?
75% chance of having smooth kernels
What does DNA stand for?
Deoxyribonucleic Acid
What does diploid mean?
Having the full amount of chromosomes
haploid = half the amount
Double helix
Twisted ladder shape of DNA
2 strands twisted together
What are the 3 parts of a nucleotide?
1) sugar
2) phosphate
3)nitrogenous base
