|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DNA | deoxyribonucleic acid, the material that contains the information that determines inherited characteristics
🗑
|
||||
| nucleotide | nucleic acid chain, a subunit that has a sugar, phosphate and base. There are 4 different bases: adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine. (AT & CG are complementary pairs and the fit together like a puzzle piece in DNA)
🗑
|
||||
| replication | the duplication of a DNA molecule
🗑
|
||||
| mutation | a change in the genetic material of an organism
🗑
|
||||
| RNA | ribonucleic acid, molecule present in all living cells that help produce protein. There are 4 different bases: adenine, uracil, cytosine and guanine. (AU & CG are complementary pairs and the fit together like a puzzle piece in RNA)
🗑
|
||||
| ribosome | cell organelle made up of RNA and protein
🗑
|
||||
| biotechnology | the use and application of living things and biological processes
🗑
|
||||
| artifical selection | human practice of breeding animals or plants with desired traits
🗑
|
||||
| genetic engineering | a technology in which the genome of a living cell is modified for medical or industrial use
🗑
|
||||
| clone | an organism, cell, or piece of genetic material that is genetically identical
🗑
|
||||
| bacteriophage | a virus that infects a bacteria
🗑
|
||||
| messenger RNA | (mRNA); carry copies of instructions to assemble amino acids into protein from the nucleus to ribosomes in the cytoplasm
🗑
|
||||
| ribosomal RNA | (rRNA); as many as 80 proteins that assemble on the ribosome
🗑
|
||||
| transfer RNA | (tRNA); carry amino acid to the ribosome and match them to the coded mRNA
🗑
|
||||
| transcription | the process of copying a base sequence from DNA to RNA
🗑
|
||||
| polypeptide | a chain of protein formed by joining amino acids
🗑
|
||||
| codon | three consecutive bases that specify an amino acid
🗑
|
||||
| translation | decoding of an mRNA message into a protein
🗑
|
||||
| genome | full set of genetic information that an organism carries in its DNA
🗑
|
||||
| karyotype | image of chromosomes in pairs by size (diploid)
🗑
|
||||
| sex chromosome | chromosome that determines gender
🗑
|
||||
| autosomes | chromosomes that do not include the sex chromosomes
🗑
|
||||
| sex linked gene | genes that are passed on through the X or Y chromosomes
🗑
|
||||
| pedigree | a chart that shows the presence or absence within a family
🗑
|
||||
| selective breeding | allowing only animals with wanted characteristics to produce the next generation
🗑
|
||||
| inbreeding | breeding individuals with similar characteristics
🗑
|
||||
| hybridization | cross of dissimilar individuals to bring together the best of both organisms
🗑
|
||||
| transgenic | contain genes from other species
🗑

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
To hide a column, click on the column name.
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
