Inbreeding

Answer 2

Involves crossing two individuals that have similar characteristics

Question 3

Hybridization

Answer 3

Breeders cross to genetically different individuals in hopes of getting best traits

Question 4

Clone

Answer 4

Dolly the sheep

Organism that has exactly the same genes as the organism from which it was produced

Question 5

Genetic engineering

Answer 5

Genes from one organism are transferred into the DNA of another

Any change in a gene or chromosome is called a (typo, mutation)

Answer 15

Mutation

Question 16

Codominant alleles

Answer 16

Both alleles show equally

Incomplete dominance

Answer 17

When neither allele of the parents is completely dominant, offspring shows mixed dominance

tRNA

Answer 25

Carries amino acids to the ribosomes and adds them to growing proteins

Question 26

RNA

Answer 26

Ribonucleic acid- genetic "messenger" which carries message to ribosomes in the cytoplasm

Question 27

Mutation

Diagram or family tree of genetic inheritance used by geneticists to map genetic traits

Question 29

Karyotype

Answer 29

Photo of a persons chromosome arranged in pair and can reveal whether a person has the correct number of chromosomes

Question 30

Why do some traits exhibit a large number phenotypes
