SB2a How are DNA and RNA different?

DNA is double stranded and RNA is single stranded.RNA has Uracil and DNA has thymine.

DNA is only in the nucleus.

SB2a What is a phosphate group, a deoxyribose sugar, and a nitrogen

base called when put together?

NUCLEOTIDE

SB2a How do the bases in DNA pair?

Adenine <> ThymineCytosine <> Guanine

SB2a Because of Chargoff’s rule there is equal numbers of bases for _______

and _______

Cytosine = Guanine Adenine = Thymine

SB2b Make a complementary RNA strand from the DNA below.

CGA CGA TTA

GCU GCU AAU

SB2b Label the diagram to show how a protein is made

SB2b Where are proteins made?

Ribosomes

SB2b What is another name for each triplet code

such as ACG?

mRNA codon

SB2b Write the complementary anticodons for the codons below.

CGC-AUC-GGA

GCG-UAG-CCU

SB2b Where does transcription and translation take place?

Transcription = NucleusTranslation = Ribosomes

SB2b Name the two forms of RNA used during the

making of proteins?

mRNA and tRNA(messenger RNA and

transfer RNA)

SB2b How many times does DNA replication

occur before cells reproduce?

ONE

SB2b Why does transcription occur?

Transcription takes place to make mRNA

SB2b What is translation?

Putting together amino acids to make proteins by using the three letter codons

(looking them up on the table of bases [letters])

SB2c Give an example of incomplete dominance

Plants that make red (RR), white (WW) and pink flowers (RW). The pink of a

blending of traits.

SB2 c What is the type of cell reproduction that decreases the

chromosome number to half (haploidy)?

Meiosis

SB2c Describe the sex chromosomes

male = XYfemale = XX

The male determines the sex of a child because his sperm may carry an X or a Y chromosome.

SB2c When does segregation of alleles

happen?

Meiosis

SB2c If a gene shows up the most and is expressed with a capital letter it is

showing ________.

dominance

SB2c Describe a genotype that is heterozygous

It contains a capital letter for the dominant allele and a lowercase letter for a recessive allele

Bb

SB2c Given an example of a phenotype

Color, shape, or stature

SB2a What is the monomer of DNA?

Nucleotide

SB2c Cross an individual with AB blood and another

with O blood type

AO BO

O

SB2c List the genotypes and phenotypes for the

blood types

SB2c How can there be two different alleles in

blood type AB?

Because of codominance

SB2c What can cause genetic variation during

meiosis?

Crossing over to mix up the gene combinations

SB2c Traits do not affect the occurrence of other different traits. This is the basis for Mendel’s Law of __________________.

Independent assortment

SB2d When DNA is mutated, what is changed to alter the production of

proteins?

The nitrogen bases (letters ATCG)

SB2d If you change one base in DNA what type of

mutation will it be?

POINT Mutation

SB2d What causes a change in DNA (genetic information)?

Mutations

SB2e What is asexual reproduction?

Type of reproduction involving one parent cell that results in identical cells so there is no genetic variation. For example,

taking a cutting from a plant to grow a new plant. These plants are clones and genetically identical.

SB1a Describe the type and quantity of cells

produced from meiosis.

Type = haploid cellsQuantity = 4 cells

SB1a Compare the number of chromosomes in gametes (haploid cells) and body (diploid)cells.

In humans for example: Diploid (body or somatic cells) = 46Haploid (gametes or sex cells) = 23
