Lesson 2 Flashcards
It means genetic makeup
Genotype
It means physical manifestation
Phenotype
Two types of penetrace
Complete Penetrace
Incomplete Penetrace
Means the genes for a trait are expressed in all the population who have the genes
Complete Penetrace
Means the genetic trait is expressed in only part of the population.
Incomplete Penetrace
The degree to which phenotype is expressed
Expressivity
Another term of Genetic engineering
Genetic modification
Genetic manipulation
Is the modification and manipulation of an organism’s genes using technology. It is a set of technologies used to change the genetic makeup of cells, including the transfer of genes within and across species boundaries to produce improved or novel organism
Genetic engineering
Involves altering genes inside your body’s cells in an effort to treat or to stop disease
Gene therapy
Is the passing on the traits from parents to their offspring, either through sexual or asexual reproduction
Heredity
Common genetic disorder
Down syndrome
Sickle cell disease
Patau syndrome
Although most plants have the genetic ability to produce chlorophyll, they will do this only in the presence of light
Effect of light or chlorophyll production
In their native arctic environment, Himalayan hares have white body hair with the black hair on their extremities
Effect of temperature on hair color in the Himalayan hare
May be defined as being any changes in the nitrogenous base sequence of a molecule in DNA. Are passed to every cell that arises from the mutated
Gene mutation
A chemical group made up of phosphate and oxygen
Phosphate group
A five-carbon sugar made up of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen
Deoxyribose
A chemical unit composed of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen.
Nitrogenous base
Bases found in DNA are:
Or the DNA code:
Adenine (A)
Thymine (T)
Cytosine (C)
Guanine (G)
The chemical and structural properties of DNA are the bases for how genetic information that underlies heredity is both encoded in genes (as string of molecular bases) and replicated by means of template
DNA Code
Every organism requires a set of coded instructions for specifying its traits
Genetic code
Focuses on the use of stem cells to treat or prevent a disease or condition
Stem cell therapy
Is a technician of controlled manipulation of genes to change the genetic make-up of cells and more genes across special boundaries
Genetic engineering
