Into DNA
100
Scientific study of heredity.
What is genetics?
100
When one allele is not dominant or recessive over the other.
What is incomplete dominance?
100
The longest stage of Mitosis
What is interphase?
100
Chance of a possible outcome regarding 'crossing over'
What is probability?
100
What mRNA stands for, and what its purpose is
What is messenger ribonucleic acid, and it gets processed and sent outside the nucleus to be translated.
200
Trait
What is a characteristic that varies from one organism to another?
200
Type of dominance that results in a display of both traits simultaneously (for example: when crossing a black feathered chicken with a white feathered chicken, the result is a black and white speckled chicken.)
What is codominance?
200
Occurs when homologous chromosomes in a diploid cell are separated.
What is meiosis?
200
Exchanging of alleles
What is crossing over?
200
The cell structure contains tightly packed DNA, RNA, and protein coiled within, allowing mitosis to occur and to control gene expression and DNA replication.
What is chromatin and its function?
300
The color of a seed is determined by different forms of a gene.
What is an allele?
300
This attribute can allow more than one type of fur color in rabbits to be present within a population
What is multiple alleles?
300
The number of daughter cells produced in mitosis and meiosis.
What is 2 diploid cells for mitosis and 4 haploid cells for meiosis?
300
Punnett Square vs. gene map
What is "a diagram used to predict results of a genetic cross" vs. what is "a diagram that shows the location of each known gene on a chromosome in a cell?"
300
The molecules that are not involved in the coding of the DNA vs. the molecules that are involved in coding, and are expressed in protein synthesis
What is/are introns vs. exons?
400
Segregation
What is it when a recessive gene shows up in an F2 generation?
400
A characteristic that is controlled by more than 1 gene (examples: height, eye color, hair color, skin color)
What is a polygenic trait?
400
The main thing produced through meiosis.
What is/are reproductive cells?
400
Heterozygous
What is "an organism with 2 different alleles for a particular trait"?
400
The process by which cells use information from mRNA to produce polypeptide chains, or protein.
What is translation of mRNA?
500
Independent Assortment
What is it when "genes for certain traits 'segregate' individually during the development of gametes?"
500
When the female set of chromosomes match up with the male set of chromosomes in a cell, the chromosomes are...
What is homologous?
500
List all the steps of meiosis.
What is (Meiosis 1) Prophase I, Metaphase I, Anaphase I, and Telophase I; (Meiosis 2) Prophase II, Metaphase II, Anaphase II and Telophase II.
500
(1) Genotype & (2) phenotype
What is the (1) genetic makeup of an organism & (2) how we perceive it with our senses?
500
The corresponding sequence for the genetic code CGC-TGC (for DNA and for mRNA)
What is GCG-ACG (for DNA), and GCG-ACG (for mRNA)? (EXTRA 100 if you can say why they are the same!)
