Q

This diagram shows the complete chromosome set in. a body cell

A

Karyotype

17
Q

This is where we can find the chromosomes

A

Nucleus

18
Q

This is the place of our sex cells in a Karyotype

A

The 23rd pair

19
Q

Full name of the DNA

A

Deoxyribonucleic Acid

20
Q

What is the purpose of a base sequence?

A

They ENCODE the genetic instructions (genes) for the organism

21
Q

Each ____ carries the code (3 letters) for a specific amino acid

A

Triplet

22
Q

These are alternative forms of a gene. In other words, they are different versions of the same gene. (Code

A

Alleles

23
Q

Code for the same general characteristic (e.g. same eye color), but different versions of that characteristic (e.g. brown, blue, green).

A

Alleles

24
Q

They are responsible for the difference in traits (Variation) between individuals

A

Alleles

25
Q

What is the difference between a gene and allele?

A

Genes are sections of DNA that code for a particular protein (eye color gene). On the other hand, alleles are alternative forms of a gene. They are different versions of the same gene. (Hair color - brown). This the primary cause of genetic variation among individuals

26
Q

If your parents does not have the similar allele, you get 2 different alleles

A

some extra info

27
Q

The specific site where a particular gene can be found

A

Locus

28
Q

What is the difference between the DNA and gene

A

The DNA contains the genetic code for the production of protein (blueprint). This genetic code is called a gene. Therefore, a gene is a section of DNA (particular trait)

You can do it alyana

A
