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