5.1 / Blood Type
This is the study of how traits are passed from one generation to the next. What is this called?
Genetics
He is a scientist who has contributed greatly in the field of Biology. He is also known as the "father of genetics". Who is he?
Gregor Mendel
How many pairs of chromosomes are there inside human body?
23 pairs
What is Protein Synthesis?
Protein Synthesis is the process of turning DNA to Protein.
What is the name of the first animal that got cloned?
Dolly the Sheep
1.A distinguishing quality that all members of a species have in common is called?
2.The passing of genetic traits from parents to offsprings is called?
1. Trait
2. Heredity
Different versions of the same genes are called?
Alleles
Inside the nucleus.
Put the following in order from largest to smallest in terms of how genetic material is organized:
DNA, Gene, Chromosome, Nucleus,
Nucleus, Chromosomes, DNA, Gene
What is a living thing whose DNA has been altered by the addition of deletion of genes? (FULL NAME)
Genetically Modified Organism (GMO)
List all possible types of genotype for the blood type
AO, AA, BO, BB, AB, OO
What is the difference between Heterozygous and Homozygous?
Heterozygous is when we have the same alleles (AA, aa)
Homozygous is when we have different alleles (Aa)
How do we determine if a person is female or male by looking at the chromosome?
Female: xx
Male: xy
What is the difference between mRNA and tRNA?
mRNA is the messenger RNA that sends the message to the Ribosome.
tRNA is the transfer RNA that brings the amino acid to the Ribosome.
Genetic engineering is the process by which genes, or parts of DNA, are transferred from one organism to another. Why is this possible?
This is possible because all organism has same shape of DNA (double helix), composed with same 4 nucleotides.
What are the possible blood types of the babies from Mother with blood type O and Father with blood type AB?
A, B
What is the difference between genotype and phenotype?
Genotype is the combination of dominant and recessive alleles.
Phenotype is the observable, visible trait of an organism.
This chromosomal abnormality occurs due to having an extra chromosome on the 21st pair. What is this genetic disorder called?
Trisomy 21, Down Syndrome
Explain the process of photosynthesis
1. DNA holds all the instructions to form the specific traits
2. mRNA copies the instructions from a gene in the DNA
3. This instruction is copied and given to ribosomes to be read.
4. tRNA brings the amino acid accordingly.
5. Protein is built with the amino acids.
What is hybrid vigor?
The strength that is obtained through selective breeding.
What is the theme verse of this unit?
“So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.” Genesis 1:27
Brown eye is dominant (B) and blue eye is recessive (b).
If the kids have blue eyes, what are the possible genotype combinations of the parents?
BB & bb
Bb & Bb
bb & bb
This is a tool geneticists use to analyze the chromosomal characteristics of a cell. What is this tool called? Spell it!
Karyotype
What are the two reasons for mutation?
1. Error during the process of DNA replication
2. Environmental factors such as chemicals and radiation
Inbreeding is known to cause weaker varieties of offspring. Why?
Similar traits gets multiplied, which increases the chance of producing traits that are harmful.
