Speed Match Review Game

This game has been played times
The best time ever was at seconds.
The best time today is at seconds.
How To Play:
Drag the squares in the gray area and drop them in the matching squares in the blue area below.
If you drop a square in the correct spot, it will disappear.
If you make a mistake, the square will return to its original spot.
Good luck!

Let's Play Speed Match!

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