the study of inherited traits and their variation
Genetics
the sum of all biological processes by which particular characteristics are transmitted from parents to their offspring
Heredity
the units of heredity, which is the transmission of inherited traits; can be found on the nucleic acid DNA
Genes
What are the nucleic acids?
DNA and RNA
a molecule whose function is to store and transfer genetic information
DNA
important molecule in protein synthesis
RNA
Both DNA and RNA are polymers of repeating called?
Nucleotides
There are ____ different nucleotides present in a DNA molecule.
4
The _____________________ ultimately encode genetic information.
various sequence combinations of these bases
What are the RNAs?
Messenger RNA (mRNA), Ribosomal RNA (rRNA), and Transfer RNA (tRNA)
It carries the instructions for protein synthesis to the sites of protein synthesis.
Messenger RNA (mRNA)
It combines with proteins to form ribosomes.
Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)
RNA that delivers amino acids to the sites of protein synthesis.
Transfer RNA (tRNA)
It is the complete set of genetic instructions characteristic of an organism, including protein-encoding genes and other DNA sequences
Genome
Structures that are a product of DNA coiling in association with proteins.
Chromosomes
Genes, the segment of DNA strand that encodes for the production of different proteins, may have different variants. These are called ________.
Alleles
Alleles are products of _________.
Mutations
Defined as any heritable change in the DNA sequence and are the source of all genetic variation.
Mutations
Observable traits or features of an organism (alleles that are expressed).
Phenotype
Set of alleles for a given trait carried by an organism (alleles that are present).
Genotype
A type of cell division in which one somatic cell give rise to two new ones.
Mitosis
Cell division involved in the production of gametes
Meiosis
