| THE SCIENCE OF HEREDITY IS KNOWN AS? | GENETICS |
| THE STUDY OF THE WAY IN WHICH TRAITS ARE PASSED ON FROM PARENTS TO OFFSPRING IS KNOWN AS? | HEREDITY |
| TRAITS ARE ___________ | CHARACTERISTICS (EYE COLOR, HAIR COLOR...) |
| IN NATURE EACH SPECIES CAN ONLY REPRODUCE WITH THEIR OWN ________. | SPECIES EX: DOGS WITH DOGS, HUMANS WITH HUMANS |
| AUSTRIAN MONK WHO IS KNOWN AS THE FATHER OF GENETICS | GREGOR MENDEL |
| A DIFFERENCE IN SOME TRAITS IS KNOWN AS ___________ | VARIATION |
| ______ ARE FOUND IN THE NUCLEUS AND ARE MADE UP OF GENES | CHROMOSOMES |
| CARRY HEREDITARY INFORMATION AND ARE FOUND AT SPECIFIC LOCATIONS ALONG THE CHROMOSOMES | GENES |
| PAIRS OF GENES THAT CARRY THE SAME TRAITS AND ARE FOUND AT THE SAME LOCATIONS ON PAIRS OF CHROMOSOMES | ALLELES |
| AN ORGANISM WITH A DOMINANT ALLELE FOR A PARTICULAR FORM OF A TRAIT WILL ALWAYS HAVE THAT FORM | DOMINANT TRAIT |
| THE TRAIT THAT IS HIDDEN BY THE DOMINANT TRAIT, WILL ONLY APPEAR IF THE DOMINANT TRAIT IS NOT PRESENT | RECESSIVE TRAIT |
| GENOTYPE CONTROLS THE _____________ | PHYNOTYPE |
| WHAT IS A GENOTYPE? | ALL OF THE GENES A PERSON HAS example: Bb |
| WHAT IS A PHYNOTYPE? | THE PHYSICAL CHARTERISTICS (TRAITS) SHOWN EX: BLUE EYES |
| TWO UNMATCHED CHROMOSOMES THAT DETERMINE THE SEX OF AN INDIVIDUAL (REPRESENTED AS X AND Y) | SEX CHROMOSOMES |
| XX REPRESENTS | FEMALE |
| XY REPRESENTS | MALE |
| WHO DETERMINES THE SEX OF THE OFFSPRING? | MALES DO (SPERM CONTRIBUTE EITHER AN X OR A Y CHROMOSOME) |
| A TRAIT THAT IS CONTROLLED BY A GENE FOUND ON THE SEX CHROMOSOMES ARE KNOWN AS? | SEX-LINKED TRAITS |
| MOST SEX LINKED TRAITS ARE FOUND ON THE ________ CHROMOSOME | X (BIGGER CHROMOSOME THAN Y) |
| GIVE AN EXAMPLE OF SEX-LINKED TRAITS IN HUMANS | COLOR BLINDNESS (RECESSIVE GENE FOUND ON THE X CHROMOSOME) |
| GENES ARE MADE UP OF A GROUP OF CHEMICALS CALLED? | DNA (DEOXYRIBONUCLEIC ACID) |
| DNA IS MADE UP OF WHAT THREE CHEMICAL GROUPS? | SUGAR (DEOXYRIBOSE), A PHOSPHATE GROUP, AND ONE OF FOUR BASES |
| NAME THE FOUR KINDS OF NITROGEN-CONTAINING BASES | GUANINE, CYTOSINE, ADENINE, THYMINE |
| THE BASIC UNIT OF DNA (SUGAR, PHOSPHATE AND ONE OF THE FOUR BASES) IS CALLED A ______________ | NUCLEOTIDE |
| WHO DEVELOPED THE DOUBLE HELIX (SHOWED HOW DNA NUCLEOTIDES FORM A SPECIFIC STURUCTURE) | WATSON AND CRICK |
| WHEN DNA GOES THROUGH REPLICATION THE ORDER OF BASES ON ONE STRAND DETERMINES THE MATCHING BASES ON THE OTHER. WHAT IS THE BASE -PAIR RULE? | C-G AND A-T |
| What are the building blocks of protein? | amino acids |
| Where does protein synthesis occur? | ribosomes |
