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