DNA
A double helix molecule
What is DNA?
What you change on purpose
what is independent
organisms with traits best suited are more likely to survive and reproduce
What is natural selection?
The genetic makeup of an individual
What is a genotype?
Cell division where reproductive cells that carry half of the genetic material of the parent are present
What is meiosis?
Sugars, nitrogen bases, and phosphates
What makes up DNA molecules?
What you are measuring
dependent
may result in a favorable or unfavorable change or adaptation in genetic information that improves a species ability to live in its environment or makes it more difficult
What is A mutation?
The physical appearance of an individual, like dark black hair color
What is a phenotype?
Who is Gregor Mendel?
The arrangement of the base pairs within the double helix
What are chemical codes? (e.g ATTCGGCAC)
What stays the same
what is constant
Sections of chromosomes that carry a code for a particular trait
What is a gene?
A model used to predict the possible combinations of inheritance resulting from a single trait
BB X bb
Bb X Bb
What is a punnett square?
She provided x-ray diffraction images
Who is Rosalind Franklin?
Strands of tightly wound DNA
What is a chromosome?
What you consider to be “normal”
what is control
(proposed the double helix or spiral staircase structure of the DNA)
what is JAmes Wattson and Francis Crick
The trait that always masks the recessive trait
What is a dominant trait?
The method in which evolution takes place and a related set of process
What is a mutation?
The scientists who proposed the double helix structure of DNA
Who are Watson and Crick?
Line, pie, and bar graphs
what is Types of Graphs
An alternate form of a gene
What is an allele?
Reading ability or a broken leg
What is a trait that is not inherited?
Organisms with traits best suited are more likely to survive and reprduce
What is natural selection?
