Why is DNA considered the code of life?
Translate this DNA transcript into a protein: AATCGGTAG
Name of the place of transcription and translation inside a cell.
Using exactly 3 arrows and 6 words, visually describe The Central Dogma
Which two organelles of the cell are responsible for the processes of the central dogma? What is their role?
What is a mutation?
What is it called when a single base is swapped for a different base?
What is the name of the mutation that does not cause any affect on the protein.
Why are frameshift mutations more deleterious than point mutations?
If there was a mutation from AUG to AUC, how would that impact the protein?
What inheritance pattern is responsible for red flowers and white flowers having all red offspring when bred together?
A spotted snake exhibits what type of inheritance pattern?
Describe an example of incomplete dominance.
Create a punnet square problem (and answer it!) that exhibits complete dominance.
If you breed two pink (incompletely dominant) flowers together, what are the phenotypic ratios of their offspring?
Write the genotypes of an affected woman and an affected man.
Which blood type can receive any blood type and still be ok? Explain why.
List the phenotypes and genotypes of the four blood types.
A woman heterozygous for type A has a baby with a man homozygous for type B. What are the possible PHENOTYPES of their children?
A couple has one daughter with hemophilia, one daughter who carries hemophilia. What are the genotypes of the parents?
A woman who has the allele for a disorder on only one of her X's
When a person has two copies of the same allele
When there are many alleles that control a trait, such as in blood type
When there are many genes that control a trait, such as in skin color
Another word for heterozygous; Another word for homozyogus
The bases of DNA are read as a 'code' that transcribe into RNA and are translated into proteins that make us look and act how we do.
Transcription = nucleus, translation = cytoplasm
Nucleus holds DNA, ribosome makes proteins
Mistake in the DNA (change in DNA sequence)
Point mutation
Silent mutation
Because the whole frame is shifted, causing a large change in the resulting protein
The protein could not be created because AUG is the start codon.
Complete dominance
Codominance
A red flower and a white flower having pink flower offspring
1 red: 2 pink: 1 white
X^hX^h and X^hY
Type AB because the body recognizes both the A and B antigens as 'self'
Type A = AA, AO, Type B = BB, BO, Type AB = AB, Type O = OO
Type AB and Type B
X^hX and X^hY
Carrier
Homozygous
Multiple Allele Inheritance
Polygenic Inheritance
Hetero = Hybrid, Homo = Purebred
