Sex Chromosomes
A.
A system to decide the probability of an organism's genotype, based on it's parents.
B.
This refers to chromosome pairs with the same length, centromere position, and staining pattern for genes with corresponding loci, But actual genetic info in the nucleic acid sequence is different between the chromosomes.
C.
The 23rd pair of chromosomes in a human. The two types (X and Y) determine the human's sex.
D.
Similar to DNA, this nucleic acid has usually only 1 strand. It contains the info needed to produce proteins.
E.
These larger components made of DNA need two of itself to express the related Phenotype.
F.
The process that cells with DNA use to make proteins.
G.
A molecule made of DNA that contains information to build proteins.
H.
The bases that make up DNA. Contain the blueprints needed to make proteins.
I.
When a disease or condition is cancerous and will possibly spread to other cells.
J.
A type of change in genes where the DNA is altered, substituted, or deleted, but as no affect on the amino acid sequence.
K.
A laboratory process that allows scientists to copy millions to billions of copies of a section of DNA.
L.
A genetic disorder that leaves the body unable to remove Low-density lipoproteins correctly, leaving a high amount of cholesterol and LDL in the body.
M.
The physical effect a Genotype has on an organism.
N.
Expressed by a capitol letter. These cause a phenotype and are one half of a genotype. These mask other possible phenotypes.
O.
The recorded history and ancestry of a person. May be used to find specific inheritances or traits.
P.
When talking about genetics, it refers to a genotype with different alleles. (Bb, Aa, etc.)
Q.
A prediction of a condition's outlook in the future based on certain activities and actions.
R.
A test that uses sound waves to look at a person's tissues and organs.
S.
DNA structures found in the Nucleus of most cells in the body. They carry genetic information in the form of genes. Humans carry 46 of these.
T.
The failure of homologous chromosomes to divide properly.
Type the Question that corresponds to the displayed Answer.
incorrect
21.
The process of a genome being altered. The nucleic acid is changed into something different.
incorrect
22.
The materials that make up DNA. A, T, C, and G are the letters that describe these things.
incorrect
23.
Cell division in sexual reproduction that involves a decrease of chromosomes in the newly made cells.
incorrect
24.
A cell with a clearly defined nucleus.
incorrect
25.
A type of change in genes that involves the adding of one or more nucleotide bases into a segment of DNA.
incorrect
26.
When talking about genetics, it refers to a genotype with the same alleles. (AA, BB, cc, etc.)
incorrect
27.
A period of time in which a mother's ability to absorb glucose is inhibited during pregnancy. It can develop into type 2 diabetes after.
incorrect
28.
The genetic information in Alleles that form a Phenotype.
incorrect
29.
Biomolecules made of amino acids that are made from DNA. These help regulate the body make us, us.
incorrect
30.
A type of change in genes that describes one base pair being altered, deleted, or added.
