Base pairing is the ? Is the principle that bonds in DNA can form only between adenine and thymine and between guanine and cytosine
Chromatin is when ever something is caused by ? The granular material visible within the nucleus; consists of DNA tightly coiled around proteins.
Molecular Genetics is the study of ? The agents that pass information from generation to generation.
What do genes determine ? They determine the heredity traits.
Many disease are caused by ? Mutations or changes in the DNA sequence.
Molecular genetics also refers to or sometimes introduced to ? a fundamental theory alleging that genes direct all life process through the production of polypeptides.
Is the stage where opposite chromosomes are moved to the end spindles are ? Anaphase.

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.
