How would you define these biology terms?

Base pairs and their complements (i.e. C and G; A and T)





Amino acids





Steps of mitosis





Steps of meiosis





Sources of genetic variation





Mutations





Homozygous





Heterozygous





Punnett squares





Locus





Alleles





DNA (its composition)





DNA (what it does)





RNA





Chromosomes





Mendel and his Laws/Principles





Eukaryotic cells





Proteins (general info)





Protein synthesis (from lecture and reading!!)





Autosomes vs. sex chromosomes





Homologous chromosomes





Hypothesis





Theory





Sex chromosomes (and abnormalities)





Gametes





Zygotes





Haploid/diploid





ABO blood types





Gene flow





Genetic drift





Evolution





Forces of evolution





Cell components





Hardy Weinberg theory of equilibrium

How would you define these biology terms?
1) A complementary to T


C complementary to G


2)monomer of proteins


5)crossing over


6)a protein is changed as a deletion or substitution


7)two dominant or recessive alleles


8)one dominant and one recessive alleles


9)determines gnotypic and phenotypic outcomes of offsprings


11)DNA has three parts: a phosphate, sugar, nitrogen base(A, T, C, %26amp; G) %26amp; is a doubled-stranded molecule


12)DNA is the genetic makeup of our body, helps makes proteins, and creates mRNA


13)RNA is a single-stranded molecule that has a phosphate, sugar, and nitrogen bases(A, G, C, U)


14)made of genes


16)multicellular, has a nucleus, and membrane-bound organelles


17)polymer made of monomers called amino acids


19)Autosomes-all of our genes that make proteins and goes through mitosis.


sex chromosomes-sperm and egg; goes through meiosis


20)cromosomes that are similar in size, shape, and content


21)an educated guess


22)a conclusion based on experimental tests


23)sperm and egg;22chromosomes rather than 23


24)sperm and egg


25)a single cell formed by fertilization


26)Haploid-half the number of chromosomes of an organism


diploid-total number of chromosomes in an organism


30)variations in species


31)natural selection


32)organelles, nucleus, cell membrane, cell wall(plant cells only),cytoskeleton
Reply:Hypothesis are educated guess about an equation or formula, etc..It has not yet been tested to be proven correct or not. Based on your hypothesis, you can test it to se if it has the correct outcome.
