1

central dogma of biology

DNA is transcribed to RNA, RNA is translated to protein

New cards
2

pairings of amino acids DNA to RNA

G to C, T to A, A to U

New cards
3

which molecule contains codons

mRNA

New cards
4

Which molecule contains anticondons

tRNA

New cards
5

What molecule reads codons

RNA polymerase

New cards
6

mutation definition

changes to an organisms DNA

New cards
7

T/F: species evolve because of the accumulation of mutations that occur over time

True

New cards
8

genotype

allele combination

New cards
9

phenotype

expressed alleles

New cards
10

Meiosis steps

G1, S(DNA is replicated, G2, *Prophase1,*Metaphase1,*Anaphase1,*Telophase1, **Prophase2, **Metaphase2, **Anaphase, **Telophase

New cards
11

Diploid

cells that have two copies of each chromosome(dominant allele and recessive allele in homologous chromosomes

New cards
12

haploid

cells that have one copy of each chromosome

New cards
13

what phase in meiosis does the ploidy change?

telophase 1

New cards
14

chromatid

attaches sister chromosomes together

New cards
15

homologous chromosomes

matched pairs of chromosomes

New cards
16

T/F homologous chromosomes possess the same genes in the same order, but might have different alleles

True; all genes are in the same location/order on both, but some might be dominant or recessive

New cards
17

centromere

contains spindle fibers that pull chromosomes apart

New cards
18

law of independent assortment

orientation of each pairs of homologous chromosomes is random(XX^ or X^X)

New cards
19

allele

gene variants (that arise by mutation) and exist at the same location on homologous chromosomes

New cards
20

law of segregation of alleles

a parent gives one allele to each of its gametes

New cards
21

dominant

those alleles that are inherited and unchanged

New cards
22

recessive

traits that become latent or don't appear

New cards
23

monohybrid cross

cross between 2 organisms with different variations in only 1 single gene/locus

New cards
24

dihybrid cross

a cross between 2 organisms with different variations in 2 genes/locus

New cards
25

linked genes

two genes located on the same chromosome

New cards
26

autosomes

non sex determining

New cards
27

X-linked

genes that are linked to X chomosome(on the X chromosome)

New cards
28

incomplete dominance

offspring exhibit a blend of their parents traits

New cards
29

Example of incomplete dominance

a mommy red flower and a daddy white flower love each other so much. The have a baby. The baby is fully pink flower

New cards
30

codominance

both alleles are simultaneously expressed

New cards
31

example of codominance

a black cow and a white cow love each other very much. They have a baby cow. That cow has white and black spots

New cards
32

gamete

sex cells, haploid

New cards
33

locus

location of a gene on a chromosome

New cards
34

microevolution

change in allele frequencies that occur over time within a population

New cards
35

gene pool

all the alleles for a single gene/all the genes in a population

New cards
36

allele frequency

how common an allele is in a population. p + q = 1

New cards
37

genotype frequency

how common a genotype is in a population. p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1

New cards
38

p

dominant allele frequency

New cards
39

q

recessive allele frequency

New cards
40

p^2

homozygous dominant genotype

New cards
41

2pq

heterozygous genotype

New cards
42

q^2

homozygous recessive genotype

New cards
43

hardy weihnburg Law

a populations allele and genotype frequencies are inherently stable unless some evolutionary force acts upon the population

New cards
44

conditions of hardy wienberg

infinite population size, no gene flow, no mutation, no natural selection, random mating

New cards
45

gene flow

flow of alleles in and out of a population due to migration of individuals and gametes

New cards
46

genetic drift

effect of chance/of an allele being "reproduced" out.

New cards
47

two types of genetic drift

bottleneck: genotypes get rid of it bey chance, and founder, organisms adapt to the organisms genotypes when they adapt to a new environment

New cards
48

What type of shirt was Mark Mayfield wearing when he taught us Module 4 class 1

Hawaiian

New cards
49

which microevolution forces are random

genetic drift, gene flow, mutation

New cards
50

which microevolution forces are non random

natural selection, non random mating(mating is not random, some ducks are more attractive than other ducks;)

New cards
51

reproductive isolating mechanism

organisms of different species can't mate/produce offspring. ex) an eagle and a horse cannot start a family outside of adoption

New cards
52

biological species concept

some species that don't look alike, can actually mate. ex)horse+donkey=mule

New cards
53

recombination

alleles on the same loci on homologous chromosomes cross over/switch 'sides'

New cards
54

male

XY

New cards
55

female

XX

New cards
56

genetic variance

diversity of alleles and phenotypes within a population

New cards
57

speciation

formation of 2 species from one species
