3. This is the base that replaces thymine (T) in mRNA.

4. What is uracil (U)?

5. This is the structure within the cell where translation takes place.

6. What is the ribosome?

7. This is the enzyme responsible for attaching to the promoter region and assembling the messenger RNA strand.

8. What is RNA Polymerase?

9. The three nucleotide sequence read on the mRNA is also known as this.

10. What is a codon?

11. This would be the complimentary mRNA code for the following DNA sequence: CGA ATT GTT CAC

12. What is: GCU UAA CAA GUG

13. This is the combination of alleles an organism inherits from its parents. (the genetic makeup)

14. What is the genotype?

15. This is the typical genotype of an individual that is a carrier for a trait.

16. What is a heterozygote?

17. This is the genotype for the maternal parent in the pedigree below assuming the trait is autosomal recessive.

18. What is homozygous dominant?

19. Colorblindness is an example of this type of inherited disorder.

20. What is sex-linked (or X-linked)?

21. These are the possible blood type of offspring with parents who have genotypes of I A I B and I A I B.

22. What are blood types A, B and AB?

23. This is the complete genetic material contained in an individual.

24. What is the genome?

25. These are master switch genes that control the development of an organism.

26. What are homeotic (homeobox or hox) genes?

27. This is defined as uncontrolled cell growth that can invade other parts of the body.

28. What is cancer?

29. These are genes that prevent cell division from happening too frequently.

30. What are tumor supressors?

31. This is the type of mutation that occurs when there is an addition of one or more nucleotides to a DNA sequence.

32. What is an insertion mutation?

33. A couple has four children and each child has a different ABO blood type, these would be the genotypes of the parents.

34. What is, one parent is type A, I A i, and the other is type B, I B i?

35. This type of gene mutation would not result in a frameshift.

36. What is a substitution?

37. It’s in these types of cells where when mutations occur they affect the offspring but not the individual.

38. What are germ cells?

39. The table below lists observed values for a cross between green and yellow seeded plants. Two heterozygotes were crossed. Assuming green is dominant, these would be the expected results for green and yellow seeds. SEED COLOR # OBSERVED Green 639 Yellow 241

40. What is green expected is 660 and yellow is 220?

41. This would be the number of offspring in the following cross that would be carriers in a cross between the parents X B X b and X B Y.

42. What is 1 out of 4?

43. AKA the P generation.

44. What are the parents?

45. This is the type of cross where we examine two traits.

46. What is a dihybrid cross?

47. This is the mRNA start codon for translation.

48. What is AUG?

49. The likely gender of this fine fruit fly… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr osophila_melanogaster

50. What is male?

51. Below is an example of this type of chromosome mutation.

52. What is an inversion mutation?
