when DNA makes an exact copy of itself | DNA replication |
where DNA is found in a eukaryotic cell | nucleus; coiled into chromosomes |
number of strands in DNA | 2 |
number of strands in RNA | 1 |
Name the process when DNA is used as a template to make a strand of mRNA | transcription |
This molecule is copied from the code on DNA and moves from the nucleus to the cytoplasm | mRNA |
the function of this molecule is to carry amino acids to the ribosome for protein synthesis | tRNA |
the process of converting the information on the mRNA into a sequence of amino acids to make a protein | translation |
three bases on the tRNA molecule that must match with its complement on the mRNA molecule | anticodon |
gene that masks the expression (hides) of the other gene | dominant |
gene that is hidden by the other gene | recessive |
two alleles in a pair of genes are identical (RR) | homozygous |
two different alleles exist in a pair of genes (Rr) | heterozygous |
the pair of alleles for a trait in an individual | genotype |
the trait that is expressed in the individual | phenotype |
genetic crosses that involve one trait | monohybrid |
genetic crosees that involve two traits | dihybrid |
Mendel stated that gene pairs separate when gametes are formed in the law of ____________. | segregation |
Mendel stated that differents pairs of genes separate individually from each other when gametes are formed in the law of ___________. | independent assortment |
process by which sex cells or gametes are formed | meiosis |
male gametes | sperm |
female gametes | egg or ovum |
