Matching Pairs Genetics I FlashcardsOnline version Genetics I Flashcards by Benjamin D Morgan 1 23 pairs of chromosomes 2 Dependent variable 3 Proteins 4 Genes 5 DNA 6 Ribosomes 7 Traits 8 Trait/Phenotype (analogy) 9 Allele (analogy) 10 Chromosomes 11 Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine 12 Genome 13 Controlled variable 14 Genotype (analogy) 15 Heredity 16 Phenotype 17 Nucleus 18 Independent Variable 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 The variable we keep the same Shorter segments of DNA that contain specific instructions for a trait 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 The study of genetics and how traits are passed on to the next generation of organisms (kids) A synonym for a trait A long molecule that contains the genetic code of each organism and holds instructions for making all the proteins The building blocks of traits. Gives cells structure, shape, specific processes, and are involved in the expressions of traits. The variable we change in an experiment. Where DNA is stored in Eukaryotic cells 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 The variable we measure in an experiment. DNA that is folded up so that it fits into the nucleus Total number of chromosomes in the cells of humans Builds the protein
