Genetics and Skin Color
The Father of Genetics
Who is Gregor Mendel?
These are cells that lack a nucleus and have no membrane-bound organelles.
What are prokaryotes?
The longest phase of the Cell Cycle.
What is interphase?
DNA -------> RNA --------> Protein
What is the Central Dogma of Biology?
A biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment.
What is an ecosystem?
The physical appearance of a trait.
What is a phenotype?
These cells have chloroplasts and cell walls.
What are plant cells?
The number of chromosomes in most human cells.
What is 46?
The three types of RNA.
What are mRNA (messenger RNA), tRNA (transfer RNA), and rRNA (ribosomal RNA)?
A long-term rise in the average temperature of the Earth's climate system, caused primarily by human activity.
What is global warming?
The pigment that determines skin color.
What is melanin?
Cancer is caused by an error in this cell process.
What is mitosis?
The stage of the cell cycle when DNA is copied.
What is the S phase?
The process where amino acids are delivered to the mRNA to form proteins.
What is Translation?
The variety of life in the world or in a particular habitat or ecosystem.
What is Biodiversity?
This term says that when you mix a red flower and a white flower, you will get a blend of colors that results in pink flowers
What is incomplete dominance?
The organelles that are present in the greatest numbers in a muscle cell due to the high energy needs of the muscle.
What are mitochondria?
The process that results in the duplication of DNA.
What is DNA replication?
The "blueprint" for Protein Synthesis.
What is the order of bases in DNA.
Balance within a system.
What is homeostasis?
The type of inheritance demonstrated by skin color.
What is polygenic inheritance?
What is a mutation?
What are prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
The process where messenger RNA (mRNA) is created from instructions in the DNA.
What is Transcription?
The number of people, other living organisms, or crops that a region can support without environmental degradation.
What is the carrying capacity?
