DNA Structure
Dna stands for
deoxyribonucleic acids
Who created punnett squares
Mendel, father of genetics
Heredity
passing of traits from parent to offspring
Are acquired traits coded by the DNA?
NO
What are alleles
different version of a gene
Molecules that have 3 basic parts
What is nucleotides
What does dominate gene mean
it is the one that is most common and usually overpowers the recessive gene
Hybrid
different genetic info or different alleles for a trait from each parent
Name 3 inherited traits
Eye color, height, hair color
Alleles come in
pairs
Cars in the Garage represents what
Adenine, Guanine
If their are O,r as your geneotype and r=red and O=orange what is the phenotype
Orange
Punnett square
a square which deciphers the probability of the genotype and phenotype of the offspring.
Fill in the blank: Genes come in --- called alleles each allele is a --- of that gene.
pairs,form
Alleles are inherited from
mom and dad
Order of info
DNA,RNA,proteins(translation)
What is the difference between hetero and homozygous
heterozygous means not the same like L,l or T,t and homozygous means the same R,R T,T
Translation
the decoding of mRNA into a protein
Name 5 Acquired traits
muscles,diet,funny,pierced ears,language proficiency
alleles are represented by ----------------------- for ----genes and ---------- genes
upper/lowercase letters, recessive genes, dominate genes
Name all outside forces for mutation
Chemicals, Radiation, Viruses
If your mom has her alleles B,g and dads are g,g what is the probability of having a blue eyed baby
50%
transcription
process by which DNA is copied into a complementary strand of RNA
Whats incomplete dominance
a blend of both alleles of heterozygous offspring is expressed instead of the individual alleles.
2 identical v 2 not identical alleles are
homozygous (same), heterozygous (different)
