What is a sequence?
100
These are sections of genetic code that contain instructions for the production of specific proteins.
What are genes?
100
These are determined by your DNA. You inherit them from your parents. They are what makes you unique (one of a kind).
What are traits?
100
Only mutations in the genetic code of this type of cell can be transmitted (passed along) to offspring.
What are gametes?
100
The date of the Living Environment Regents.
What is June 21st?
200
Every building has one; its what holds something up.
What is a base?
200
These are the building blocks of proteins. A chain of these in a specific sequence makes a specific protein.
What are amino acids?
200
This is what "one code, different messages" means. DNA controls this when it uses specific genes to make specific proteins.
What is gene expression?
200
Which is smaller: a gene or a chromosome?
What is a gene?
200
The genetic disorder that happens when a mutation in a person's genetic code leads to the production of half-moon shaped red blood cells.
What is Sickle Cell Anemia?
300
What a tailor makes to a pair of pants if it's too long or too big; a change.
What is an alteration?
300
When put in a specific sequence, these create a code that contains information about a person's traits.
What are molecular bases/molecular base pairs?
300
A, T, C and G don't like to be alone. They also don't like to couple up. What they do like is to be grouped in these.
What are codons?
300
A somatic (body) cell is NOT like a gamete because it has this.
What is a full set of chromosomes?
300
The genetic disorder that happens when a person has 47 chromosomes. 90% of women choose to terminate (end) their pregnancies when DNA tests show that their embryos have this disorder.
What is Down Syndrome?
400
Following these on a test or an assignment will help you get a better grade.
What are instructions?
400
DNA sends encoded messages to these organelles about which proteins to synthesize (make).
What are ribosomes?
400
DNA encodes message - messenger transmits message from nucleus - ribosomes receive message - ribosomes use message to ???
What is synthesize proteins/make proteins?
400
Identical twins are the only people who have the same one of these.
What is a genome?
400
The (college) website you should look at to review topics related to genetics, DNA, and proteins - the one where you can put together a strand of DNA.
