Genetics/DNA (A)

Front

What are homozygous genotypes?

Back

Homozygous genotypes are those that have two identical alleles for a particular gene, such as EE or tt.

Front

What sugar does RNA contain?

Back

RNA contains the sugar ribose.

Front

What is a gene?

Back

A gene is a segment of DNA that controls a specific trait.

Front

What forms a protein?

Back

Amino acids bond together to form a protein.

Front

Where is protein made in the cell?

Back

Proteins are made in the ribosome.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA contains deoxyribose sugar and is double-stranded, while RNA contains ribose sugar and is single-stranded.

Front

What is a phenotype?

Back

A phenotype is the observable physical or biochemical characteristics of an organism, determined by both genetic makeup and environmental influences.

Front

What is a genotype?

Back

A genotype is the genetic constitution of an individual, representing the alleles inherited from parents.

Front

What are amino acids?

Back

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, linked together by peptide bonds.

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in cells?

Back

Ribosomes are the cellular structures where protein synthesis occurs.
