What are the four bases in DNA?
|
DNA controls the production of protein in the cell.
What is the relationship between Protein, Cells and DNA?
|
Changes in DNA.
Define mutations.

selective breeding for particular traits
In the past, humans developed varieties of dogs, such as the German shepherd and the bearded collie, using
|
is a process where DNA technology is used to change the DNA of an organism
What is genetic engineering?
|
Adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T). Cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G).
What are the base pairing rules of DNA?
|
A = U
C = G
What do the DNA base pairing rules change to in mRNA?
|
a change in a base sequence in DNA
A single gene mutation results from...?

One base has been substituted for another.
A strand of DNA in a skin cell contains the bases: A-T-G-C-C-A-T-C-G-G-T-A
After the cell is exposed to ultraviolet light, the strand contains the bases: A-T-G-G-C-C-A-T-C-G-G-T-A Which statement describes the result of this exposure? |
a process in which humans breed animals based on desirable (wanted) traits
Define Selective Breeding.
