What is chromosome painting? - answersA technique used to mark the locations of
genes on human chromosomes with fluorescent tags, this is used to show a comparison
of the genomes of different species.
What is a polymerase? - answersan enzyme that brings about the formation of a
particular polymer, especially DNA or RNA.
What is a polymer? - answerslong chain of monomers
What is a monomer? - answersa molecule that can be bonded to other identical
molecules to form a polymer.
Different types of RNA? - answersmRNA - messenger, brings nucleotide to ribosome
rRNA - physically part of ribosome, helps make protein
tRNA - brings each nucleic acid in chain to be attached
What is a polypeptide? - answerslong chain of amino acids
What is a carbohydrate? - answerssugar, glucose, fructose (EX- bread, grain)
What is a codon chart? - answersA chart of codon sequences that tells you what amino
acid a codon sequence on the mRNA codes for. Puzzle piece.
What is a protein? - answerschain of amino acids (EX- eggs, meat, beans)
What are chromatids? - answersidentical strands of chromosomes
What does crossing over do? - answersincrease genetic variation
What are nonsister chromatids? - answersThey are any two chromatids in a pair of
homologous chromosomes that are not sister chromatids - in other words, one maternal
and one paternal chromatid.
What does homozygous mean? - answersIt means you have the defective gene from
both parents. Same alleles.
What does heterozygous mean? - answersIt means you only have 1 defective gene
from 1 parent. Two different alleles.
