Match the following

Genetically Modified Organism

An organism that has had its genetic code altered through biotechnology for the purpose of giving it traits of other organsims.

mRNA

A molecule that is a transcription of DNA and carries the genetic code from the nucleus to the to the ribosome.

Genetic Variation

A random error in genetic code that can fall under the heading of "silent," "frameshift," or "chromosomal."

Meiosis

Uracil

The process of generating a molecule of mRNA.

Transgenic Organsim

The process of generating a protein from an mRNA molecule.

Nondisjunction

A nitrogenous base found only in RNA.

MATCH QUESTION

Match the following

Heterozygous Genotype

Alternative forms of genes (brown hair vs. blond hair).

Alleles

A genotype which contains two of the same alleles (either AA or aa).

Law of Dominance

A type of heredity where offspring exhibit 2 dominant alleles (stripes or spots).

Codominance

A genotype which contains two different alleles (Aa).

Homozygous Genotype

Mendel's law that states that only one copy of a certain allele needs to be present in the genotype for that trait to show in the phenotype.

MATCH QUESTION

Match the following

Law of Segregation

Mendel's principle that states that homologous chromosomes will sort independently of each other (one combination in one offspring will not necessarily arise in another offspring from the same breeding pair).

Law of Independent Assortment

A genetic cross represented by 4 squares that indicates the probability that offspring will receive a certain genotype.

Phenotype

Mendel's principle that states that sister chromatids separate from each other into individual gametes.

Monohybrid Punnett Square

A type of heredity where the offspring will have a phenotype that is a blending of the two alleles (Red + White = Pink).

Incomplete Dominance

The physical appearance of offspring based on their genotype.
