Q

Incomplete dominance

A

One allele is not completely dominant over another, the heterozygous phenotype is somewhere in between the two homozygous phenotypes

Q

What does it mean when two sets of chromosomes are homolog us

A

Each has a matching pair

18
Q

Diploid

A

Cell containing both sets of Homo largest chromosomes

19
Q

What happened to the diploid cell that enters meiosis

A

It becomes four haploid cells

20
Q

Where is DNA located in a prokaryotic cell

21
Q

Where is DNA found in eukaryotic cell

A

The cells nuclear us

22
Q

What occurs during the process of replication

A

DNA is copied

23
Q

Differences between RNA and DNA

A

Of sugar, RNA is single-stranded, DNA is double-stranded, are in a contained you’re still and DNA has dining, DNA cannot leave the nuclear us

24
What is the job in which most RNA molecules are involved
Protein synthesis
25
Messenger RNA
Carries copies of instructions for assembling amino acids from DNA to the rest of the cell
26
Ribosomal RNA
Proteins are assembled on ribosomes
27
Transfer RNA
Transfers each amino acid to the ribosome's to help assemble proteins
28
How are proteins made
Joining amino acids into longchain called polypeptides
29
How can only for bases and RNA care instructions for 20 different amino acids what
Read three letters at a time
30
Codon
Specify a specific amino acid that is at added to a polypeptide
31
How many three bass codons are possible
64
32
What happens during translation
Decoding of an M RNA message
33
What are the keys to almost everything that living cells do
Proteins
34
Mutations
Change in DNA sequence
35
What happens in deletion mutation
All or part of a chromosome is missing
36
How do you biologist make. A karyotype
Cut out chromosomes from photographs and put them together in pairs
37
Achondroplasia
Disproportional dwarfs
38
Huntington's disease
Across a progressive loss of muscle control and mental function caused by an AutoZone will dominant allele
39
Ateliotic
Proportional dwarfs
40
Colorblindness
And inability to distinguish certain colors
41
When does down syndrome occur and what are the characteristics
Three copies of chromosome 21, increased mental retardation
42
Genetic engineering
Scientist make changes in DNA of living organisms
43
Marfan's disease
Long tall double jointed
