Punnett Squares, DNA, RNA, Traits, Genes
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Traits are? | Inherited through the passing of factors from parent to offspring |
| The Principal of dominance states? | Some alleles are dominant and others are recessive, dominant is always expressed if present. |
| Punnet Squares can be used to? | Predict the possible traits of offspring in genetic crosses. |
| Heterozygous? | Means that an organism has a dominant and a recessive allele for a trait. |
| A punnet square shows all of the following except? | The actual results of a genetic cross. |
| In a punnet square showing the results of a two trait cross such as pea shape and pod color, the two traits? | Assort independently of each other. |
| How many different allele combinations would be found in the gametes produced by a pea plant whose genotype was RrYY? | Two (2) |
| If a pea plant that is heterozygous for round, yellow peas (RrYy) is crossed with a homozygous round, heterozygous yelloe (RRYy) how many different phenotypes could their offspring exhibit? | Two (2) |
| A situation in which one allele for a gene is not completely dominant over another allele for that gene is called? | Incomplete dominance. |
| A cross between a whit horse (WW) and a black horse (BB) produce all spotted offspring (WWBB) is known as? | Codominance. |
| How many total chromosomes are shown in a normal human karyotype? | Forty-Six (46) |
| Which of the following can be observed in a normal human karyotype? | An extra chromosome. |
| A male has? | One X chromosome and one Y chromosome. |
| A pedigree chart can be used to? | All of the above |
| If a person inherits a recessive allele then they will ? | Show the trait only if they have another recessive. |
| Colorblindness is more common in males than females because? | The allele for colorblindness is recessive and located on the X chromosome. |
| The failure for chromosomes to separate during meiosis is called? | Non-Disjunction. |
| Which of the following is a nucleotide found in RNA? | Ribose + Phosphate + Uracil |
| DNA is copied prior to mitosis though a process known as? | Replication. |
| During DNA replication, DNA strand that has the bases TCCGATTA produce a stand? | AGGCTAAT. |
| What is produced during DNA transcription? | mRNA. |
| Three bases (a codon) on a strand of mRNA are used to code for how many amino acids? | One (1) |
| What happens during the process of translation? | The cell uses information from mRNA to produce proteins. |
| Which type of RNA serves as the blueprint for the DNA Genetic code? | mRNA only. |
| Where does translation occur in the cell? | Ribosomes. |
