QuestionAnswer
chromosome long strands of dna that contains genes that code for all of the proteins in the cell
gene a sequence of dna on a chromosome that code for a protein
transcription and translation what are the steps of proteins synthesis
nucleus where does transcription occur
cytoplasm where does translation occur
messenger rna what is being made in transcription
proteins what is being made in translation
rna polymerase what enzyme performs transcription
mRNA, tRNA, ands ribosomes what 3 molecules are involved in translation
genetic mutation a mistake/change in the dna of a chromosome
point mutation a mutation in which the wrong base has been used in a chromosome
addiction mutation a mutation in which one or more extra bases is inserted into a gene
deletion mutation a mutation in which one or more bases are removed from the chromosome
frameshift the wrong number of bases which causes codons to shift and change
addiction and deletion what are the types of framshift
alleles different versions of a gene that exist
homozygous dominant what genotype does this mean HH
heterozygous what type of genotype is Hh
homozygous recessive what type of genotype is hh
incomplete dominance and codominance what are examples of non-mendelian traits
incomplete dominance three possible versions (show up a blended or mixed version)
a trait that only has 2 versions what is a mendelian trait
codominance three possible versions (show up side by side)
sex linked trait a trait controlled by a gene on a sex chromosome
you are a carrier when someone is heterozygous for a recessive trait, we call them a ____. The person doesnt have the trait, but are still able to pass down a recessive allele to their children
A positive blood what does AR mean (in blood types)
A negative blood what does Ar mean (in blood types)
A blood what does AO mean (in blood types)
B positive blood what does BR mean (in blood types)
B negative blood what does Br mean (in blood types)
B blood what does BO mean (in blood types)
O positive blood what does OR mean (in blood types)
O negative blood what does Or mean (in blood types)
men what does squares on a pedigree mean
women what do circles on a pedigree mean
they have the given trait what does the shaded in shapes mean
they are married what does lines between shapes mean
they have kids what does the lines on top of the shape mean
antigens proteins on the surface of red blood cells that help the immune system recognize the cells
protein synthesis the process on how proteins are made
RNA polymerase an enzyme that builds mRNA
mRNA type of rna that is meant to copy the instructions from a gene and bring those instructions to a ribosomes during protein synthesis
complementary the mRNA is _____ the DNA in a gene, which means that the mRNA was constructed using the base pairing rules
amino acids what are proteins made of
ribosomes the organelle in the cytoplasm that builds proteins
tRNA the type of RNA that brings amino acids to the ribosome during translation
codon a set of 3 bases in the mRNA strand that correspond to a specific amino acid
aug what is the start codon
stop codon the codon that signals the end of translation
silent if a mutation is present in a gene, but the protein being made isnt affected/changed we describe this as
dihybrid cross this type of Punnett square is used when you're predicting the probability that child will inherit two traits

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
