Vocabulary for Module 7 Exploring Creation with Biology
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Genetics | The science that studies how characteristics get passed from parent to offspring (195) |
| Genetic factors | The general guideline of traits determined by a person's DNA (196) |
| Environmental factors | Those "non-biological" factors that are involved in a person's surroundings such as the nature of the person's parents, the person's friends, and the person's behavioral choices (197) |
| Spiritual factors | The factors in a person's life that are determined by the quality of his or her relationship with God (197) |
| Gene | A section of DNA that codes for the production of a protein or a portion of protein, thereby causing a trait (197) |
| Messenger RNA | The RNA that performs transcription (201) |
| Anticondon | A three-nucleoctide sequence on tRNA (201) |
| Codon | A sequence of three nucleotides on mRNA that refers to a specific type of amino acid (201) |
| Chromosome (krohm' uh zohm) | DNA coiled around and supported by proteins, found in the nucleus of the cell (205) |
| Mitosis (mye toh' sis) | A process of asexual reproduction in eukaryotic cells (206) |
| Interphase | The time interval between cellular reproduction (206) |
| Centromere (sen troh' mer) | The region that joins two sister chromatids (207) |
| Mother cell | A cell ready to begin reproduction, containing duplicate DNA and centriole (206) |
| Karyotype (kehr' ee uh tipe) | The figure produced when the chromosomes of a species during metaphase are arranged according to their homologous pairs (212) |
| Diploid cell | A cell with chromosomes that come in homologous pairs (212) |
| Haploid cell | A cell that has only one representative of each chromosome pair (212) |
| Diploid number (2n) | The total number of chromosomes in a diploid cell (212) |
| Haploid number (n) | The number of homologous pairs in a diploid cell (213) |
| Meiosis | The process by which a diploid (2n) cell forms four gametes (n) (213) |
| Gametes | Haploid cells (n) produced by diploid cells (2n) for the purpose of sexual reproduction (213) |
| Virus | A non-cellular infectious agent that has two characteristics: 1.) It has genetic material (RNA or DNA) inside a protective protein coat 2.) It cannot reproduce on its own (218) |
| Antibodies | Specialized proteins that aid in destroying infectious agents (220) |
| Vaccine | A weakened or inactive version of a pathogen that stimulates the body's production of antibodies which can aid in destroying the pathogen (220) |
