Term
Definition
show Any of the alternative forms of a gene that may occur at the same place on a chromosome, for example, the genes responsible for blood type that are found on chromosome 9.  
🗑
show A chromosome that is not directly involved in determining sex (such as chromosomes 1–22), as opposed to the sex chromosomes X and Y.  
🗑
benign   show
🗑
centromere   show
🗑
chromatid   show
🗑
show Tightly coiled DNA that is found in the nuclei of cells.  
🗑
deletion mutation   show
🗑
DNA   show
🗑
show A genetic trait is considered dominant if the associated phenotype is seen in an individual who has only one copy of the gene associated with the trait.  
🗑
eukaryotic   show
🗑
show An autosomal, dominant genetic disorder that disrupts the body's ability to eliminate low-density lipoprotein (LDL) from the blood, resulting in an increased risk of heart attack.  
🗑
frameshift mutation   show
🗑
show A sequence of nucleotides that codes for a protein, resulting in a specific phenotype.  
🗑
genome   show
🗑
show All or part of the genetic constitution of an individual or group.  
🗑
gestational diabetes   show
🗑
heterozygous   show
🗑
show Chromosome pairs, one from each parent, having similar gene composition, size, and structure.  
🗑
show Having two identical alleles at one location on two homologous chromosomes.  
🗑
show One DNA base is inserted into a gene sequence  
🗑
show A image of the chromosome pairs of a cell arranged by size and shape.  
🗑
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)   show
🗑
malignant   show
🗑
show The cellular process that results in the number of chromosomes in gamete-producing cells being reduced by half; also involves a reduction division, in which one of each pair of paired chromosomes passes to each daughter cell.  
🗑
show A type of RNA that is transcribed from DNA and translated by ribosomes in the cytoplasm to produce proteins.  
🗑
metastasis   show
🗑
mitosis   show
🗑
show A rare change in genetic material, which ultimately creates genetic diversity within a species.  
🗑
show An accident during mitosis or meiosis, in which members of a pair of homologous chromosomes or sister chromatids fail to move apart properly.  
🗑
show A building block of DNA that consists of a five-carbon sugar covalently bonded to a nitrogenous base and a phosphate group.  
🗑
show A diagram that shows the occurrence of phenotypes through several generations of genetically related individuals. Symbols are used to represent each individual.  
🗑
phenotype   show
🗑
show Outline of nursing care showing all of the patient's needs and the ways of meeting them.  
🗑
point mutation   show
🗑
polymerase chain reaction (PCR)   show
🗑
prognosis   show
🗑
protein   show
🗑
show The creation of a protein from a DNA template.  
🗑
show A simple, graphical way to discover all potential combinations of an offspring’s genotypes, given the parents’ genotypes.  
🗑
recessive allele   show
🗑
show A degradative enzyme that recognizes specific nucleotide sequences and cuts DNA at these sequences called restriction sites. Also known as a restriction endonuclease.  
🗑
show A type of nucleic acid consisting of nucleotide monomers with a ribose sugar and the nitrogenous bases (G, C, A) and uracil (U). RNA is usually single stranded and functions in protein synthesis and as the genome of some viruses.  
🗑
show One of the pair of chromosomes that determines the sex of an individual. The sex chromosomes are X and Y.  
🗑
silent mutation   show
🗑
ultrasound imaging   show
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
