What is a karyotype?
The complete chromosomal complement of an individual usually based on a photograph of the chromosomes visualized under the microscope.
Any of the chromosomes other than the sex chromosomes.
In mammals, chromosomes X and Y, with XX producing females and XY producing males.
The sum total of all the genes carried by an individual.
Any chromosome OTHER than the sex chromosome:
Karyotype
Autosomes
Zygote
Mitosis
A triplet of nucleotide bases in mRNA that specifies an amino acid or the initiation or termination of a polypeptide sequence:
Gene
Genetic code
Amino acid
Codon
Molecules that form the basic building blocks of protien:
Amino acids
Polypeptides
Hormones
Codons
Polypeptides are:
Molecules that form the basic building blocks for protien.
A molecule made up of a chain of amino acids.
The fundamental unit of heredity.
A Complex protien that is a catalyst for chemical processes in the body.
An ENZYME is a complex protien that is a catalyst for chemical processes in the body.
are organelles in the cytoplasm of the cell where energy production for the cell takes place. Contains its own DNA.
Structures composed primarily of RNA, which are found on the endoplasmic reticulum. They are the site of protien synthesis.
Ribosomes
Mitochondria
Proteins
Nucleotides
A disease caused by a recessive allele; one copy of the allele must be inherited from each parent for the disease to develope.
Autosomal recessive diseases
Trinucleotide repeat diseases
Autosomal dominant diseases
Sickle cell diseases
is a statistic geneticists use to quantify the proportion of all variation observed for a trait that can be attributed to genetic rather than environmental factors.
Phenotypic traits that result from the combined action of more than one gene; most complex traits are this.
Polygenic traits.
Super traits.
X-linked traits.
Pleiotropy
A is the genetic makeup of an individual. It can refer to the entire genetic complement or more narrowly to the alleles present at a specific locus on two homologous chromosomes.
A is an observable or measurable feature of an organism. This can be anatomical, biochemical, or behavioral.
In a diploid organism, dominant refers to an allele that must be present in two copies (homozygous) in order to be expressed.
In a diploid organism, an allele that is expressed when present on only one pair of homologous chromosomes.
Dominate
Recessive
