Term
Definition
show One of the alternative forms of a gene.  
🗑
show Any of a group of water-soluble organic compounds that possess both a carboxyl(-COOH) and an amine (-NH2) group attached to the same carbon atom.  
🗑
Anticodon   show
🗑
Centromere   show
🗑
Chromatid   show
🗑
Chromosome   show
🗑
show artificial production of genetically identical individuals  
🗑
Co-dominance   show
🗑
show A triplet of nucleotides within a molecule of messenger RNA that specifies a particular amino acid during the synthesis of proteins in a cell.  
🗑
show Describing a cell or organism with twice the haploid number of chromosomes.  
🗑
DNA   show
🗑
Dominant allele   show
🗑
Double Helix   show
🗑
Eukaryotic cells   show
🗑
F1 generation   show
🗑
F2 generation   show
🗑
Fertilization   show
🗑
show A reproductive cell that fuses with another to form a zygote - eg. eggs (ova) and sperm (spermatozoa).  
🗑
Gene   show
🗑
show The genetic information in DNA which controls the manufacture of specific proteins by the cell. It takes the form of a series of triplets of bases in DNA.  
🗑
show All the genes contained in a single (haploid) set of chromosomes.  
🗑
show The genetic composition of an organism, i.e. the combination of alleles it possesses.  
🗑
show Describing a cell or organism with a single set of unpaired chromosomes.  
🗑
show Describes an organism that has two different alleles controlling a particular feature.  
🗑
show Water-soluble proteins found in association with the DNA of eukaryotic chromosomes. They serve as a scaffold around which the DNA coils.  
🗑
Homologous Chromosomes   show
🗑
show Describes an organism that has two of the same alleles for a trait.  
🗑
show The condition where neither allele controlling a characteristic is dominant and the resulting phenotype is partially influenced by both alleles.  
🗑
Independent assortment   show
🗑
show The transfer of genetic traits from one generation to the next.  
🗑
show A mutant form of a gene that eventually results in the death of an organism if expressed in the phenotype. Most of these genes are recessive, eg. Sickle-cell anaemia.  
🗑
Meiosis   show
🗑
show A type of cell division that results in two daughter cells, each having a nucleus containing the same number and kind of chromosomes as the mother cell.  
🗑
Monohybrid   show
🗑
mRNA   show
🗑
Nucleotide   show
🗑
Phenotype   show
🗑
Protein synthesis   show
🗑
show The chemical family to which the organic nitrogenous bases adenine and guanine belong.  
🗑
show The chemical family to which the organic nitrogenous bases uracil, thymine and cytosine belong.  
🗑
show An allele whose effects are masked by those of a dominant allele. It is denoted by a lower case letter.  
🗑
rRNA   show
🗑
DNA-Replication   show
🗑
Somatic cells   show
🗑
Trait   show
🗑
Transcription   show
🗑
show The process in living cells in which a sequence of mRNA triplets (codons) is used to build a polypeptide chain during protein synthesis.  
🗑
show A sequence of three nucleotides coding for a specific amino acid during protein synthesis.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
