Why is DNA considered the code of life?
Why is DNA considered the code of life?
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.
Translate this DNA transcript into a protein: AATCGGTAG
Translate this DNA transcript into a protein: AATCGGTAG
Name of the place of transcription and translation inside a cell.
Name of the place of transcription and translation inside a cell.
Transcription = nucleus, translation = cytoplasm

Which two organelles of the cell are responsible for the processes of the central dogma? What is their role?
Which two organelles of the cell are responsible for the processes of the central dogma? What is their role?
Nucleus holds DNA, ribosome makes proteins
What is a mutation?
What is a mutation?
Mistake in the DNA (change in DNA sequence)
What is it called when a single base is swapped for a different base?
What is it called when a single base is swapped for a different base?
Point mutation
What is the name of the mutation that does not cause any affect on the protein.
What is the name of the mutation that does not cause any affect on the protein.
Silent mutation
Why are frameshift mutations more deleterious than point mutations?
Why are frameshift mutations more deleterious than point mutations?
Because the whole frame is shifted, causing a large change in the resulting protein
If there was a mutation from AUG to AUC, how would that impact the protein?
If there was a mutation from AUG to AUC, how would that impact the protein?
The protein could not be created because AUG is the start codon.

Create a punnet square problem (and answer it!) that exhibits complete 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?
If you breed two pink (incompletely dominant) flowers together, what are the phenotypic ratios of their offspring?
1 red: 2 pink: 1 white
Write the genotypes of an affected woman and an affected man.
Write the genotypes of an affected woman and an affected man.
X^hX^h and X^hY
Which blood type can receive any blood type and still be ok? Explain why.
Which blood type can receive any blood type and still be ok? Explain why.
Type AB because the body recognizes both the A and B antigens as 'self'
List the phenotypes and genotypes of the four blood types.
List the phenotypes and genotypes of the four blood types.

A woman who has the allele for a disorder on only one of her X's
Carrier
When a person has two copies of the same allele
When a person has two copies of the same allele
Homozygous
When there are many alleles that control a trait, such as in blood type
