Biology Genetics Flashcards
What is a Form of a gene where each characteristic has two alleles?
Allele
A trait that will only appear in the phenotype if organism inherits two of them; covered up by the dominant gene?
Recessive
A sex cell ; sperm or egg is called a what?
Gamete
A base thats found in DNA. That will only bond with Thymine is?
Adenine
What is an Amino acid ?
Building block of proteins
Asexual reproduction is?
Reproduction of identical offspring from a single parent. No gametes involved
What are Base-pairs?
A-T, G-C
Cloning is?
A process that produces identical genetic individuals
Cytosine is ?
A base pair found in DNA. It will only bond with Guanine
What is a Dominant Allele?
An allele that controls the phenotype regardless of what the other allele is
What is a Genotype ?
combination of two alleles that an organism has for a particular gene.
What is Guanine ?
A base that is found in DNA. It will only bond with cytosine
Having two different alleles for a particular gene; not true breeding is called ?
Heterozygous
Having two identical alleles for a particular gene; true or pure breeding is ?
Homozygous
What is an offspring?
New individuals formed by either asexual or sexual reproduction
