What are genetics?
The figure produced when the chromosomes of a species during metaphase are arranged according to their homologous pairs
The science that studies how characteristics get passed from parent to offspring
DNA coiled around and supported by proteins, found in the nucleus of the cell
What are genetic factors?
The general guideline of traits determined by a person’s DNA
A sequence of three nucleotide bases on mRNA that refers to a specific type of amino acid
Specialized proteins that aid in destroying infectious agents
What are environmental factors?
The “nonbiological” factors that are involved in a person’s surroundings, like the personalities of the person’s parents, the person’s friends, and the person’s behavioral choices
The factors in a person’s life that are determined by the quality of their relationship with God
The number of homologous pairs in a diploid cell
What are spiritual factors?
A cell ready to begin reproduction, containing duplicated DNA and centrioles
A weakened or inactive version of a pathogen that stimulates the body’s production of antibodies which can aid in destroying the pathogen
What is a gene?
A section of DNA that codes for the production of a protein or a portion of protein, causing a trait
A cell that has only a homolougue
A non-cellular infectious agent that has genetic material (RNA or DNA) inside a protective protein coat and cannot reproduce on its own
What is MessengerRNA (mRNA)?
The RNA that performs transcription
The total number of chromosomes in a diploid cell
What is an anticodon?
A three-nucleotide base sequence on tRNA
A process of asexual reproduction in eukaryotic cells
What is a codon?
What is a chromosome?
A non-cellular infectious agent that has genetic material (RNA or DNA) inside a protective protein coat and cannot reproduce on its own.
What is mitosis?
A process of sexual reproduction in eukaryotic cells
What is interphase?
The time between cellular reproduction
The area that joins two sister chromatids
The process by which a diploid cell forms gametes
What is the centromere?
What is a mother cell?
A cell with chromosomes that come in homologous pairs
What is the karyotype?
What is a diploid cell?
What is a haploid cell?
What is a diploid number?
What is a haploid number?
Haploid cells produced by diploid cells for the purpose of sexual reproduction
What is meiosis?
What are gametes?
What is a virus?
What are antibodies?
What is a vaccine?
TRUE OR FALSE:: Suppose a sequence of DNA is: guanine, cytosine, adenine, adenine, thymine, guanine. It's mRNA sequence would be: cytosine, guanine, thymine, thymine, adenine, cytosine.
TRUE OR FALSE:: Suppose a sequence of DNA is: guanine, cytosine, adenine, adenine, thymine, guanine. The mRNA would code for 2 amino acids
TRUE OR FALSE:: Suppose a sequence of DNA is: guanine, cytosine, adenine, adenine, thymine, guanine. The mRNA will have 4 codons.
TRUE OR FALSE:: Suppose a sequence of DNA is: guanine, cytosine, adenine, adenine, thymine, guanine. The tRNA anticodons that bond to the mRNA would be: guanine, cytosine, adenine and adenine, uracil, guanine
If an RNA strand has an anticodon...
It is mRNA
It is tRNA
It is neither
It is both
It will also have a codon somewhere in the cell
TRUE OR FALSE:: Protein synthesis in a ribosome is part of translation
Say scientists discovered a gene that is more prevalent in murderers than in the majority of the public. What can you conclude from that gene?
Murderers have no responsibility for what they do, it's in their genes
It is just a genetic trend, not a determining factor
You can fight that gene with your choices and environmental and spiritual factors
If you have that gene you must be a murderer and there is no hope for you and you are doomed
The gene would only establish a genetic trend
TRUE OR FALSE:: If you look under a microscope and see distinct chromosomes in a cell, it is in interphase
What are the 4 stages of mitosis?
prophase
metaphase
anaphase
interphase
telophase
karyophase
centrophase
introphase
extrophase
