| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| nitrogen base | Adenine-thymine cytosine-guanine |
| DNA | found in all living things that contains its genetic information. |
| RNA | type of nucleic acid that contains ribose sugar |
| cell cycle | time taken for newly formed cell to mature, and give rise to 2 new cells. |
| mitosis | cell division process that results in genetically identical cells, same number of chromosomes. |
| meiosis | cell division that results in new cells with half number of chromosomes.116:46:23 |
| gene | basic unit of genetic information, determines inherited traits. |
| genome | collection of genetic information |
| chromosome | storage units of genes |
| locus | location of a gene on a chromosome |
| homozygous dominant | BB: alleles are same and dominannt |
| hetrozygous | Bb: alleles are diffrent |
| hemizygous recessive | bb: both alleles are the same and ressesive |
| recessive inheritance | parents carry the trait without showing it |
| DNA vs RNA | RNA is single stranded instead of double stranded RNA is made of ribose sugar instead of deoxyribose RNA has uracil instead of Thymine as nucleobase |
| translation vs transcription | transcription occurs in the nucleus whereas translation occurs in ribosomes. And transcription uses DNA temp to form RNA whereas translation transcribes the mRNA molecule to create new proteins. |
| 3 types of RNA | messenger DNA (mRNA) Ribosomal DNA (rRNA) Transfer DNA (tRNA) |
| 5 steps of DNA replication | 1. unwinding the double helix 2. priming 3.building new DNA matching the templates 4. replacing primers 5. sealing the final gaps into continuous strands |
