What is a prokaryotic cell?

Back

A prokaryotic cell is a simple, unicellular organism that lacks a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Examples include bacteria.

Front

What is a eukaryotic cell?

Back

A eukaryotic cell is a complex cell that contains a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Examples include plant and animal cells.

Front

What is a monohybrid cross?

Back

A monohybrid cross is a genetic cross between parents that differ in a single trait, typically represented in a 1:2:1 ratio in the offspring.

Front

What is a dihybrid cross?

Back

A dihybrid cross is a genetic cross between parents that differ in two traits, typically represented in a 9:3:3:1 ratio in the offspring.

Front

What is the function of DNA?

Back

DNA stores genetic information that is used for the development, functioning, and reproduction of all living organisms.

Front

What is the function of RNA?

Back

RNA plays a crucial role in translating genetic information from DNA into proteins.

Front

What are genotypes?

Back

Genotypes are the genetic makeup of an organism, represented by the alleles inherited from its parents.

Front

What is a phenotype?

Back

A phenotype is the observable physical or biochemical characteristics of an organism, determined by its genotype.

Front

What is the significance of the amino acid sequence?

Back

The amino acid sequence determines the structure and function of proteins, which are essential for various biological processes.

Front

What is a Punnett square?

Back

A Punnett square is a diagram used to predict the genotypes of offspring from a genetic cross.
