Incomplete and codominance practice

Front

What is co-dominance in inheritance?

Back

Co-dominance is a type of inheritance pattern where both traits from the parents are fully expressed in the offspring.

Front

What is the role of the phosphate group in a nucleotide?

Back

The phosphate group is one of the three components of a nucleotide, which helps form the backbone of DNA and RNA.

Front

What is deoxyribose sugar?

Back

Deoxyribose sugar is a five-carbon sugar molecule that is a component of DNA.

Front

Describe the process of protein synthesis.

Back

The process of protein synthesis involves DNA being transcribed to mRNA, which is then translated to form proteins.

Front

How can a child have a different blood type than their parents?

Back

A child can have a different blood type due to the combination of alleles inherited from both parents, such as having one parent with type A (AO) and the other with type O.

Front

What is incomplete dominance?

Back

Incomplete dominance is a genetic situation in which one allele does not completely dominate another allele, resulting in a new phenotype.

Front

What is a Punnett square?

Back

A Punnett square is a diagram used to predict the outcome of a particular genetic cross or breeding experiment.

Front

What are alleles?

Back

Alleles are different versions of a gene that can exist at a specific locus on a chromosome.

Front

What is the difference between genotype and phenotype?

Back

Genotype refers to the genetic makeup of an organism, while phenotype refers to the observable traits or characteristics.

Front

What is the significance of the nitrogenous base in nucleotides?

Back

The nitrogenous base is crucial for encoding genetic information and determines the identity of the nucleotide.
