Question
Answer
How many chromosomes do humans have?   show
🗑
How man homologous pairs do humans have?   show
🗑
show Corresponding; having the same alleles or genes in the same order of arrangement.  
🗑
show Genes of the same traits.  
🗑
show Two. Once from each parents, one on each member of the homologous pair.  
🗑
show XX (letters always capital)  
🗑
show XY (letters always capital)  
🗑
show Smaller. This means many genes on the X chromosome do not have a "partner."  
🗑
How many genes does each chromosome have?   show
🗑
show A particular protein.  
🗑
show No, not denim! They're made from nucleic acids.  
🗑
show Yes. While genes determine our traits, the environment can affect the expression of genes.  
🗑
show DNA.  
🗑
show If your genes and chromosomes are the "instruction manual" for your body, DNA would be the paper it is printed on.  
🗑
What is one other way to describe DNA?   show
🗑
What is the shape of a DNA molecule?   show
🗑
show To replicate, or copy, itself almost exactly.  
🗑
show A, T, C, and G.  
🗑
show A & T and C & G.  
🗑
What are the four bases of RNA?   show
🗑
show Adenine Thymine.  
🗑
What does G:C stand for?   show
🗑
show Amino acids.  
🗑
show Through Protein Synthesis.  
🗑
What is a codon?   show
🗑
What does each codon represent?   show
🗑
show Protected in the nucleus.  
🗑
show In the Cytoplasm.  
🗑
What builds proteins?   show
🗑
What carries a copy of the genetic code from the DNA to the ribosomes?   show
🗑
As the ribosome reads the genetic code of the mRNA, what brings the correct amino acid to the ribosome? Which then bonds the amino acids together.   show
🗑
show In the same order they are listed in the DNA codons.  
🗑
The amino acids are bonded together to make a what?   show
🗑
show The Shape of the protein.  
🗑
The shape of a protein determines what?   show
🗑
show The Function.  
🗑
What do proteins coded by DNA do?   show
🗑
The order of DNA _____ in your genes determines the order of _____ _____ in your proteins, which determines the protein's ______ and ______.   show
🗑
What does your body functions depend on?   show
🗑
show Changes in genetic characteristics.  
🗑
show If they occur in reproductive cells (sperm or egg).  
🗑
Gene mutations may cause what?   show
🗑
When are gene mutations caused?   show
🗑
show Any chemical substance or physical agent that is capable of enhancing the frequency of detectable mutants with in a population of organisms' cells.  
🗑
What is a common mutagenic agent?   show
🗑
show When a person inherits too many or too few chromosomes.  
🗑
show They affect many genes at once. Most are lethal.  
🗑
show Non-lethal mutation, caused by inheritance of an extra copy of chromosome 21.  
🗑
Define Selective Breeding.   show
🗑
show Breeding plants (food crops, like corn, wheat) and animals (livestock, like cows) for agriculture or breeding animals such as pets (like dogs, cats, birds).  
🗑
show The deliberate modification of an organism by manipulating its genetic material.  
🗑
What are used to cut and paste the DNA segments?   show
🗑
show Bacterial.  
🗑
Name two important examples of gene engineering.   show
🗑
show They are identical to normal human hormones.  
🗑
show Karyotyping, DNA fingerprinting.  
🗑
What is karotyping?   show
🗑
show Gel electrophoresis; creates banded patterns based on a person's DNA base sequence.  
🗑
What are ethics?   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.
