| How to test for Huntington Disease | A DNA screening of the individual. |
| Are Transgenic Organisms genetically modified? | Yes, Transgenic Organisms are genetically modified organisms(GMOS). |
| How much nitrogenous bases are there? | There are 4 nitrogenous bases. |
| What are the three parts of DNA? | Phosphate, Sugar and a nitrogenous base are the three parts of DNA. |
| What is a Chromatin? | Chromatin coils around the chromosomes when undergoing cell division. |
| What is Codon? | Codon is a 3 nucleotide sequence in which the order of the nitrogenous bases make up a certain amino acid. |
| What is a amino acid. | Amino acids are organic compounds. |
| Does Huntington Disease affect the nerve cells? | Yes, Huntington diseases affects the nerve cells so that a person loses muscle control. |
| If you have Down Syndrome, would you have 1 or 2 extra chromosomes? | Down Syndrome occurs when you have 1 extra chromosome. |
| What is the short-term definition for Phenylketonuria? | PKU is the short-term definition for Phenylketonuria. |
| Is a gene a full DNA strand? | No, a gene is a segment of a DNA strand. |
| What is a nucleotide | A nucleotide consists of two nitrogenous bases. |
| What is the process of combining genes from one organism to another? | This process is called Genetic Engineering. |
| What is Mutation? | Mutation occurs when the codon sequence in the gene segment of the DNA strand is changed in the order it was in. |
| What is a mutagen? | Radiation or a chemical substance which causes mutation. |
| Does cloning occur in plants naturally? | Yes, cloning occurs in plants naturally because cutting off a plant can grow a new plant when you root them. |
