| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| a molecule found in the nucleus that acts as a code that determine everything about a cell (mutation) | Deoxyribonucleic Acid |
| strands from Deoxyribonucleic Acid (Allison) | Chromatin |
| strands from Deoxyribonucleic Acid that coil up and compact (Allison) | Chromosomes |
| 4 different aspects of the genetic code that form a ladder (Allison) | Nitrogen Base Pairs |
| one of the nitrogen bases that only pair with Thymine (Allison) | Adenine |
| one of the nitrogen bases that only pair with Adenine (Allison) | Thymine |
| one of the nitrogen bases that only pair with Guanine (Allison) | Cytosine |
| one of the nitrogen bases that only pair with Cytosine (Allison) | Guanine |
| what the DNA ladder forms into when it twists (Allison) | Double Helix |
| what a segment of nitrogen base pairs forms (Allison) | Gene |
| another word for segments of nitrogen pairs (Allison) | Nucleotide |
| what speeds up chemical reactions (Allison) | Catalyze |
| an example of a protein that can be catalyzed (Allison) | Enzymes |
| doctors use this to examine DNA and identify disorders for offspring (Allison) | Genetic Screening |
| these are used protect crops from pests by altering the genetic code (Allison) | Genetically Modified Organisms |
| scientists use this to transfer genes from one organism to a different organism to promote protein production. (Allison) | Transgenic Organisms |
| something that can cause a mutation. e.g. radiation, electromagnetic signals or chemicals. (Allison) | Mutagen |
| when the nucleotide sequence changes, the protein created also changes that results in this (Allison) | Mutation |
