Bio 10 Final

TermDefinition
Dominant Allele that masks, the effect of the other
Recessive Allele that is expressed when both are present
Allele Alternative form of a gene
Genotype The genetic make-up of the organism
Phenotype Measurable characteristics of an organism that are determined by the genotype
Homozygous Having identical alleles for a particular trait
Heterozygous Having non-identical alleles for a particular trait
Incomplete dominance When two traits mix to create a new i.e. new colour
Codominance When both dominant traits show up i.e. spotted
Incomplete dominance The type of dominance that creates an intermediate phenotype (remember to think of "in" in intermediate and "in" in the dominance type)
How many phonotypes will there be for Codominance This type of dominance has 3 phenotypes
Codominance When both of the parents trains show up in the offspring
Deletion mutation When a base is lost
Insertion mutation When a base is inserted in to the sequence
Substitution mutation When a bases is subbed for another
Frameshift Can occur from a deletion or insertion mutation
Missense When the substitution changes the amino acid that will be created
Silent When a substitution does not change the amino acid created
Nonsense When a substitution changes the amino acid to a "stop"
If something is X-linked, how many alleles does the male need to inherit to make it so? One (therefore, x-linked traits can show up more frequently in a male)
Gene A section of DNA that codes for a trait (think of it as a recipe - while the DNA is the cookbook)
Allele The different variations of the gene - like for eye colour. An individual will inherit two alleles. Humans have 2 alleles for each gene (this is why we are called diploid)

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.
