Genetics DCA Review

makes up ribosomes that help to "read" the mRNA code

carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome

transfers amino acids to the ribosome to build a protein

amount of chromosomes in a human haploid (germ or gamete) cell

amount of chromosomes in a human diploid (somatic) cell

one set of chromosomes (half set)

two sets of chromosomes (full set)

two chromosomes in that code for the same genes, but may have different versions (alleles) of those genes

physically expressed/observed trait

coded in the genome (DNA)

the study of heredity

allele that is always expressed if present on at least one of the chromosome of a homologous pair

allele that is only expressed if present on BOTH of the chromosomes of a homologous pair

homozygous dominant

heterozygous

homozygous recessive

the probability of homozygous dominant offspring

the probability of heterozygous offspring

the probability of homozygous recessive offspring
