🗑
what are the 7 main traits of the pea plant?   seed form, seed color, pod color, pod form, flower position, seed coat color, stem length  
🗑
what is the law of independent assortment?   alleles for different traits segragate independently of one another  
🗑
non-sex chromosomes are called?   autosomes  
🗑
traits on the x chromosome are most likely to show in which gender and why?   in males because males have nothing to cover the allele up and females do.  
🗑
human diploid?   46  
🗑
human haploid?and how did we get this number?   23, because it is 1/2 of the diploid number  
🗑
karyotype?   picture of chromosomes seperated by size.  
🗑
step 1 in DNA replication   DNA-->DNA 5' leading strand 3' lagging strand start with one double helix  
🗑
step 2 in DNA replication   DNA helicase comes and splits the hydrogen bonds between the 2 base pairs so now there is 2 seprate strands of DNA  
🗑
step 3 in DNA replication   now DNA polymerase comes and finds the match to make each identical base pair  
🗑
step 4 in DNA replication   once you have each base pair you can make the backbone  
🗑
step 5 in DNA replication   now DNA ligase comes and rebounds each of the base pairs to make 2 identical semi-conservative double helixes  
🗑
step 1 in transcription   DNA--->RNA the promoter comes and sits on the TATA box  
🗑
step 2 in transcription   tRNA trancribes the genetic code into subunits simply changes all the T's to U's and changes also to a single strand of RNA and only uses the 1st one.  
🗑
step 1 in translation   RNA---> proteins one strand comes out of the nucleus  
🗑
step 2 of translation   cant tell which side is the head and which side is the tail so it adds a 5' cap so u know that's the head and a poly-A tail with 25-50 adenines in one tail.  
🗑
step 3 in translation   before, when there is nothing happening they are unbonded and the small subunit sits on RNA strand  
🗑
step 4 of translation   then once the 1st is translated, the large subunit comes and binds to the small subunit  
🗑
step 5 of translation   one it reaches the stop codon it detaches the protein and it has made a protein  
🗑
