Q

Translation

A

brings amino acids together, looking for complete pairs (?)

-> transfer amino acids

17
Q

codon

A

triplets

18
Q

anticodon

A

on tRNA
carries amino acid called methionine
pairs with codon

19
Q

transcription

A

dna is copied into a complementary strand of rna

  1. dna is unzipped at the genes that are needed to be copied
  2. rna polymerase uses a strand of dna to match rna nucleotide with the DNA nucleotides, this creates mRNA
  3. dna zips back together and the mrna leaves the nucleus heads back to the cytoplasm
20
Q

translation

A

interpreting the rna message into a protein

1. codons from mRNA are read by the ribosomes

21
Q

point mutation

A

a base pair is added -> instead of an a, a g might be put down -> silent

22
Q

frameshift

A

when one extra base pair is added to a DNA strand

23
Q

silent mutation

A

no effect on the structure of the protein

24
Q

punett square

A

a method used to predict what genes an offspring or two parents might have can

25
Q

monohybrid

A

cross between one trait - use 2x2 box

50/50 or 75/25 when analyzing

26
Q

dihybrid

A

cross between two traits-use a 4x4 box
remember to foil first
9:3:3:1

27
Q

sex-limited

A

cross-looking specifically at males and females

analyze specifically with males and females

28
Q

what is the difference between homozygous and heterozygous

A

homozygous is the same, heterozygous is two different

29
Q

difference between phenotype vs genotype

A

phenotype -> what you see

genotype -> related to genes

30
Q

incomplete dominance

A

neither allele is completely dominant or recessive

heterozygous phenotype is between two homozygous phenotypes

31
Q

codominance

A

both traits are fully expressed

32
Q

xx

A

female

33
Q

xy

A

male
