| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Who is known as the Father of Genetics? | Gregor Mendel. |
| What is a dominant trait? | A trait that appears in every generation when at least one dominant allele is present. |
| What is Mendel’s Law of Independent Assortment? | Genes for different traits segregate independently during gamete formation. |
| What is a Punnett square used for? | Predicting genetic inheritance patterns. |
| What is a homozygous genotype? | Having two identical alleles for a trait (e.g., TT or tt). |
| What is a heterozygous genotype? | Having two different alleles for a trait (e.g., Tt). |
| What is the primary function of DNA? | Storing and transmitting genetic information. |
| What are the four nitrogenous bases in DNA? | Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C), and Guanine (G). |
| What is Chargaff’s rule? | A pairs with T, and C pairs with G in DNA. |
| What enzyme is responsible for DNA replication? | DNA polymerase. |
| What sugar is found in RNA? | Ribose. |
| What base is found in RNA but not in DNA? | Uracil (U) replaces Thymine (T). |
| What are the three types of RNA? | mRNA (messenger RNA), tRNA (transfer RNA), rRNA (ribosomal RNA). |
| What process copies DNA into RNA? | Transcription. |
| What process translates mRNA into proteins? | Translation. |
