Chapter 6 Powerpoint

Question 1

How can we make inferences about phenotypic traits based on genotype

Answer 1

All organisms have DNA
Genetic information contains universal instructions that specify protein structure proteins are mechanism that connect genes and phenotypic traits

Question 2

Mitosis to development is when what takes place

Answer 2

Change from genotype to phenotype

Question 3

The sequence of bases in DNA specifies the exact genetic instructions to
What is DNA made up of

Answer 3

Create each organism with unique traits

Sugar phosphate backbone and nitrogenous base

Question 4

Application of realizing a persons DNA is unique

Answer 4

Gene testing
Paternity tesevokutionary study of which phenotype becomes successful
Crime scene suspect

Question 5

Process of gel electrophoresis

Answer 5

Special proteins cut an individuals DNA into fragments
Enzyme cuts DNA between specific bases making unique fingerprint
Gel is use to visualize fingerprint
DNA negatively charged
Uses electric current to desperate fragments
Eclectic current pulls negatively charged to positive electrode
Shorter move quicker through pored of gel
Create ladder

Question 6

Genotype v phenotype

Answer 6

Specific allelic combo

Observable traits under genetic control

Question 7

Break down of a pea and structure of DNA

Answer 7

Dish soap dissolves lipid part of nuclear membrane
Meat tenderizer has enzymes the break down histones that organize DNA
DNA not soluble in alcohol so able to see
