What is a genotype?

Back

A genotype is the genetic makeup of an organism, represented by the alleles it possesses, such as AA, Aa, or aa.

Front

What is a Punnett Square?

Back

A Punnett Square is a diagram used to predict the outcome of a genetic cross by showing the possible combinations of alleles from the parents.

Front

What is the difference between RNA and DNA?

Back

RNA contains uracil and ribose, while DNA contains thymine and deoxyribose.

Front

What are ribosomes?

Back

Ribosomes are cellular structures that synthesize proteins by translating messenger RNA (mRNA) into polypeptide chains.

Front

What is the function of a cell wall?

Back

The cell wall provides structural support and protection to the cell, and is found in plants, fungi, and some bacteria.

Front

What is the role of mitochondria?

Back

Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell, as they generate ATP through cellular respiration.

Front

What is the significance of uracil in RNA?

Back

Uracil is one of the four nucleobases in RNA, replacing thymine found in DNA, and pairs with adenine during transcription.

Front

What is the purpose of genetic testing?

Back

Genetic testing is used to identify changes in chromosomes, genes, or proteins to assess the risk of inherited conditions.
