What is genetics
The study of how certain features are passed from parents to their offspring.
|
What are traits
A distinguishing quality that all members of a species have in common.
|
What is DNA
The Code for which cell processes are made
|
What is Metaphase
The Chromosomes Pair up, line up, and are connected by spindles
|
What is Alanine
Codes with two other amino acids
|
What is heredity
The passing of traits from parent to offspring.
|
What are variations
Different forms of the same trait.
|
What is gene
The small segment of DNA that carries heredity information.
|
What is Interphase
The cell while the nuclear membrane dissolves
|
What is cysteine
Amino acid C
|
What are Gametes
A word used for the sperm and egg required for sexual reproduction.
|
What is Dominant
Considered to be the stronger of two traits.
|
What is DNA replication
The process in which DNA molecules make exact duplicates.
|
What is Anaphase
The spindles separate the chromosomes and bring them to seperate sides of the cell
|
What is Thiamine
Alanine codes with this one in DNA
|
What is cell replication
A biological process that occurs in all living organisms and copies their DNA.
|
What is Heterozygous
The term for a combination of an organism's dominant and recessive alleles for a trait.
|
What is mRNA
DNA's messenger for the protein
|
What is Prophase
The DNA begins to duplicate while the cell develops spindle fibers
|
What is Glycine
Codes with cysteine
|
What is The Punett square
Mendel's creation to help determine the traits of an offspring.
|
What is Recessive
This kind of trait is the weaker of two traits.
|
What is tRNA
Translates the code
|
What is telephase
The cell begins to divide while the nuclear membrane reappears
|
