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