Protein Synthesis
This is the process where DNA is used to make mRNA in the nucleus.
What is transcription?
This scientist’s X-ray images helped discover the structure of DNA.
Who is Rosalind Franklin?
This process produces two identical daughter cells.
What is mitosis?
Different forms of a gene are called this.
What are alleles?
True or False: Genetic engineering is commonly debated due to pros and cons.
What is True?
This is the process where mRNA is used to build a protein at the ribosome.
What is translation?
This type of mutation occurs when one base is replaced with another.
What is a substitution?
This process produces gametes.
What is meiosis?
This term describes the physical appearance of a trait.
What is phenotype?
True or False: Modified DNA can be passed to new cells during cell division.
What is True?
This is the building block of proteins.
What is an amino acid?
This is the complementary base to adenine in DNA.
What is thymine?
This type of cell has half the number of chromosomes.
What is haploid?
This term describes the genetic makeup of an organism.
What is genotype?
This is the process of directly changing DNA using technology.
What is genetic engineering?
This is a group of three nucleotides on mRNA that codes for an amino acid.
What is a codon?
This molecule carries genetic instructions from DNA to the ribosome.
What is mRNA?
This type of reproduction increases genetic diversity.
What is sexual reproduction?
This genotype has two identical dominant alleles.
What is homozygous dominant?
True or False: Genetic engineering is the same as natural selection.
What is False?
This is the final product made at the end of translation.
What is a protein (or polypeptide)?
This type of mutation adds an extra base into the DNA sequence.
What is an insertion?
This process during meiosis increases genetic variation by exchanging DNA.
What is crossing over?
If brown eyes are dominant, this phenotype would appear in Bb.
What are brown eyes?
This is an organism whose DNA has been altered using genetic engineering.
What is a genetically modified organism (GMO)?
