Quiz 2 Flashcards
Blending Inheritance
Darwin. 2 traits blend in reproduction. Not good because it limits variability.
Gregor Mendal
Pea Plant genetics & punnet squares. Based on alleles passed from parents to offspring.
Particulate Model of Inheritance
Each parent transmits 1 copy Kid receives 2 copies Each copy is an allele Dominant alleles can mask recessive alleles Segregation
Segregation
Copies segregate at the point of reproduction at random.
Alelles
Variants of a gene (P,p)
Genotype
Genetic Makeup of an individual (PP, Pp, pp)
Phenotype
Physical traits of organisms (purple, white)
PP, pp
Homozygote
Pp
Heterozygote
Codominance
Neither allele is masked
DNA
Replicable (Can make copies of itself) Store information Vary by mutation *Hereditary Phosphorus, No sulfer
Miosis
Making of sex cells
Mitosis
Making new body cells
How do you make new cells?
Mitosis or Miosis
Who are the 2 guys that matter to DNA?
Marth Chase & Alfred Hershey
Protien
Sulfur, No phophorus
Rosalind Franklin
Discovered the double helix of DNA through xray crystalorgaphy but some fuck face stole it.
DNA Backbone
Sugar phosphate (carbohydrate) this is the ribbon part
DNA Base
Nitrogenous (AGCT)
A&T
2 bonds
G&C
3 bonds (more stable)
WHAT DO YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE DNA REPLICATION PROCESS?!?
DNA (transcription) RNA (translation) Amino Acid Protein- Phenotype
Transcription
DNA changed to RNA (U’s not T’s)
Translation
RNA turns into proteins by using three bases to find the correct amino acids
Virus
DNA/RNA in the middle with a protein structure. Reproduces by forcing cells in an organism to make copies of it.
HIV
Targets T Cells in immune system. Poops RNA into T-cells and then they copy and continue out back into the body. Made a primate to human transfer twice.
