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