Matching Pairs Genetics I FlashcardsOnline version Genetics I Flashcards by Benjamin D Morgan 1 23 pairs of chromosomes 2 Heredity 3 Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine 4 Chromosomes 5 Ribosomes 6 Controlled variable 7 Nucleus 8 Genome 9 DNA 10 Independent Variable 11 Phenotype 12 Dependent variable 13 Allele (analogy) 14 Proteins 15 Genotype (analogy) 16 Genes 17 Traits 18 Trait/Phenotype (analogy) A different recipe that makes the same type of food Shorter segments of DNA that contain specific instructions for a trait The variable we keep the same A synonym for a trait Total number of chromosomes in the cells of humans Complete set of genetic instructions for making the entire organism Builds the protein 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 variable we measure in an experiment. 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. Where DNA is stored in Eukaryotic cells Base pairs that are used to make up the genetic codes or combinations of genes The variable we change in an experiment. 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) A long molecule that contains the genetic code of each organism and holds instructions for making all the proteins
