Biology (pg 34)

Question 1

Why are 46 chromosomes in the human body are often described as 23 pairs?

Answer 1

Because the chromosomes pair up

Question 2

What makes one gene different from all other genes

Answer 2

The coding of each gene is different to the other one or could have different amount of base genes

Question 3

Base sequence of ATTGTCCAGGTGGTC

Answer 3

TAACAGGTCCACCAG

Question 4

Identify the parts of the nucleotide labelled Abc

Answer 4

Phosphate- |

Sugar -> 0 ~~~

Question 5

What is replication?

Answer 5

The process of creating new and identical dna

Question 6

How could 2 homozygous parents could have a hetrozygous child

Answer 6

Because the parents have different genotype xx and xy

Two homozgous make 1/4 of hetrozygous. If your male its because your dad has the y chromosone

Question 7

Chromosomes that are not sex chromosones

Answer 7

Autosomes

Question 8

Circles of dna found in bacteria

Answer 8

Plasmid

Question 9

The genetic information carried by a haploid set of chromosones

Answer 9

Genome

Question 10

Compare haploid and diploid cells

Answer 10

Haploid is The number of Chromosones in gamtes and diploids are the number of chromosomes in body cells

Question 11

Nucleotide

Answer 11

The building blocks of dna

Question 12
