Protein Synthesis
This molecule carries the genetic instructions from DNA to the ribosome.
What is mRNA?
The number of parents involved in asexual reproduction.
What is one?
The building blocks of DNA
What are Nucleotides?
The amount of daughter cells mitosis produces.
Where genes are located.
What are chromosomes (DNA)?
This cell structure assembles proteins based on mRNA instructions.
What is the ribosome?
The main advantage of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction.
What is genetic variation?
The type of mutation that involves a change in a single DNA base.
What is a substitution mutation?
The amount of chromosomes that human cells have after mitosis.
What is 46?
Different versions of a gene.
What are alleles?
The name of the process where DNA is copied into mRNA.
What is Transcription?
The type of reproduction that involves mitosis in single-celled organisms.
What is asexual reproduction?
How mutations affect an organism’s traits.
What is by changing the protein produced, which alters traits?
The amount of rounds of cell division that occur in meiosis.
What is 2?
Where traits come from.
What are genes?
The process where proteins are assembled from the codons contained in mRNA.
What is Translation?
The reason offspring from sexual reproduction differ genetically from their parents.
What is they inherit a mix of genes from both parents?
The type of mutation can have no effect on an organism.
What is a silent mutation?
The purpose of meiosis in sexual reproduction.
What is to produce gametes with half the chromosome number?
How offspring inherit traits that differ from both parents.
Crossing Over (genetic recombination)
The complimentary strand of RNA from the DNA template, C A T.
What is G U A?
The process that produces gametes with half the chromosome number of the parent cell.
What is meiosis?
How mutations can be benificial.
What is by providing an advantage that increases survival or reproduction?
The steps involved in Meiosis and Mitosis.
What are (Interphase), Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase?
The term for an organism’s physical appearance resulting from its genes.
What is Phenotype?
