---|---|---|---|---|---|
Nucleotide | A subunit (monomer) of nucleic acids like DNA and RNA. Composed of a sugar, phosphate, and nitrogenous base.
🗑
|
||||
Phosphate Group | Component of DNA or RNA nucleotide
🗑
|
||||
Deoxyribose | A monosaccharide (sugar) found in each nucleotide in DNA.
🗑
|
||||
Nitrogen Bases | Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine in DNA.
Adenine, Uracil, Cytosine, and Guanine in RNA.
🗑
|
||||
Genetic Code | The code found in DNA that matches codons in mRNA to amino acids on tRNA.
🗑
|
||||
Genome | An organism's complete set of genetic information (DNA).
🗑
|
||||
Transcription | The process where a copy of mRNA is made from one gene in DNA; occurs in nucleus
🗑
|
||||
Translation | The process of making a protein, where tRNA matches amino acids to codons in the mRNA; occurs in ribosome
🗑
|
||||
Translocation | mutation resulting from movement of DNA from one chromosome to a different location on some chromosome
🗑
|
||||
Meiosis | cell division creating sex cells with half the amount of DNA
🗑
|
||||
Monohybrid cross | punnett square showing results of genetic cross of one trait
🗑
|
||||
Dominant | allele with genetic trait always expressed
🗑
|
||||
homozygous | alleles with the same genetic information
🗑
|
||||
Non-Mendelian Inheritance | genetic inheritance pattern different from dominant hides recessive trait such as codominance, imcomplete dominance
🗑
|
||||
Incomplete Dominance | genetic inheritance pattern where phenotype of offspring are a blend between two separate parental phenotypes
🗑
|
||||
Genetic Mutation | changes in organism's DNA sequence;
🗑
|
||||
Deletion | changes in genetic code with removal of nucleotides
🗑
|
||||
Insertion | changes in genetic code with addition of nucleotides
🗑
|
||||
Inversion | changes in genetic code with nucleotides in opposite order
🗑
|
||||
Gene | A unit of heredity; A portion of DNA that codes for a trait.
🗑
|
||||
Punnett Square | graphic organizer showing results of a genetic cross
🗑
|
||||
Dihybrid cross | punnett square showing results of genetic cross of two traits
🗑
|
||||
Mendelian Inheritance | genetic inheritance pattern when dominant trait always masks or hides phenotype of recessice trait
🗑
|
||||
Recessive | Genetic trait which only expresses phenotype when in homozygous state; hides when dominant allel is present
🗑
|
||||
Homozygous | alleles with the same genetic information
🗑
|
||||
Heterozygous | alleles with different genetic information; one dominant allele and one recessice allele.
🗑
|
||||
Co-dominance | genetic inheritance pattern in which two dominant alleles are expressed in phenotype
🗑
|
||||
DNA fingerprinting | creating a gel electrophoresis of DNA nucleotides to determine similarities in banding patterns
🗑
|
||||
Genetic Modification | changing of the DNA sequence to alter protein synthesis
🗑
|
||||
Chromosomal Analysis | karyotype; picture of chromosomes to determine mutations such as nondisjunction
🗑
|
||||
Sex Cells | Haploid cells created by meiosis; gametes
🗑
|
||||
Independent Assortment | Mendel principle states different pairs of genes are passed to offsrping separately to form new gene combinations
🗑
|
||||
Crossing Over | exchange of DNA from separate chromosomes during meiosis
🗑
|
||||
Segregation | Mendel principle that gene pairs separate during meiosis so each parent passes down one form of gene to offspring.
🗑

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.
