Q

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

17
Q

This is where we can find the chromosomes

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

22
Q

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

23
Q

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

24
Q

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

25
What is the difference between a gene and allele?
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
If your parents does not have the similar allele, you get 2 different alleles
some extra info
27
The specific site where a particular gene can be found
Locus
28
What is the difference between the DNA and gene
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)
