Answer 1

Deoxyribonucleic Acid, Carrier of Genetic Information

Question 2

Gene

Answer 2

Uninterrupted section of DNA

Question 3

Allele

Answer 3

Variations in traits caused by the different gene sequences

Question 4

Chromosomes

Answer 4

Bunch of tightly wound up DNA

Question 5

Hybrid/heterozygote

Answer 5

When both alleles are present but only one trait is expressed

Question 6

Purebred/Homozygote

Answer 6

If both Chromosomes have the same allele

Question 7

Base Pairs/Nucleic Acids

Answer 7

The chemical compounds found in DNA that is responsible for carrying the genetic code

Question 8

Mitosis

Answer 8

Occurs in body to create body cells, and for growth and repair.

1. Cell duplicates dna
2. then it splits.
3. New cells, are clones and proper amount of chromosomes

Question 9

Meiosis

Answer 9

used to create sex cells.

1. dna duplicates
2. splitting event 1.
3. splitting event 2
4. gametes are made. chromosomes are half the regular (haploid)

Answer 10

Trait that shows up

Question 11

Recessive trait

Answer 11

trait that is present in DNA but is not shown
