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