Matching Pairs Genetics I FlashcardsOnline version Genetics I Flashcards by Benjamin D Morgan 1 Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine 2 Trait/Phenotype (analogy) 3 Allele (analogy) 4 Genes 5 DNA 6 Nucleus 7 23 pairs of chromosomes 8 Independent Variable 9 Genome 10 Proteins 11 Dependent variable 12 Traits 13 Phenotype 14 Ribosomes 15 Chromosomes 16 Controlled variable 17 Genotype (analogy) 18 Heredity The study of genetics and how traits are passed on to the next generation of organisms (kids) DNA that is folded up so that it fits into the nucleus Base pairs that are used to make up the genetic codes or combinations of genes The entire finished meal that is made up of 2 or more proteins: steak, potatoes, salad, and dessert A different recipe that makes the same type of food All the ingredients in an entire meal together: steak, salad, dessert The variable we measure in an experiment. A synonym for a trait Builds the protein Complete set of genetic instructions for making the entire organism Total number of chromosomes in the cells of humans The variable we keep the same Where DNA is stored in Eukaryotic cells Shorter segments of DNA that contain specific instructions for a trait The building blocks of traits. Gives cells structure, shape, specific processes, and are involved in the expressions of traits. The variable we change in an experiment. A physical description or characteristic that an organism can pass on to its offspring. Ex: eye color, hair color, etc A long molecule that contains the genetic code of each organism and holds instructions for making all the proteins
