Genetics Jeopardy Terms Central Dogma MutationsStructuresMolecular FINAL

Terms 100 The physical, observable expression of a gene. Phenotype

Terms 200 A fertilized egg. OR… gamete + gamete = Zygote

Terms 300 A segment of DNA that determines your traits. We have about 30,000 of these. Gene

Terms 400 A form of intermediate inheritance in which one allele for a specific trait is not completely dominant over the other allele. This results in a combined phenotype. Incomplete Dominance

Terms 500 The enzyme that “unzips” DNA to prepare it for replication or transcription. Helicase

Central Dogma 100 The DNA template helps in the creation of a ______. Complimentary Strand of DNA or mRNA

Central Dogma 200 The product of transcription. mRNA

Central Dogma 300 The process that creates amino acids. Translation

Central Dogma 400 The start codon AUG (codes for Methionine)

Central Dogma 500 A mRNA sequence that codes for an amino acid codon

Mutations 100 A type of mutation that causes a frameshift due to an additional base Insertion

Mutations 200 Instead of a guanine being paired with a cytosine, a thymine is put in its place. Substitution

Mutations 300 Mutations in this strand can cause different phenotypes to be expressed DNA or RNA

Mutations 400 Silent mutations (amino acid sequences that don’t appear to be different than intended) can only be caused by this type of mutation. Substitution

Mutations 500 A mutation that may cause an amino acid sequence to be prematurely cut short was because the mutation caused the sequence to code for this. Stop Codon

Structures 100 A collection of all one’s genes; the genome, one’s overall _____ Genotype

Structures 200 This structure was used in the Strawberry DNA Extraction lab to illustrate what DNA is like in relation to a chromosome (represented by a rope) Thread

DAILY DOUBLE – Structures The location in the cell in which translation occurs. Cytoplasm (where Ribosomes are located)

Structures 400 Crossing Over

Structures 500 Four haploid (n) gametes. Sperm (male) and Egg/ova (female)

Random 100 3’ATCGTAC5’ is transcribed into: 5’ UAGCAUG 3’

Random 200 5’ATCGTAC3’ In a one molecule is complimentary to: 3’ TAGCATG 5’

Random 300 Draw an adenine nucleotide. Label all parts. ADENINE

Random 400 Having an extra chromosomes on chromosome 18 in a karyotype. Trisomy-18 (or Edwards Syndrome)

Random 500 A couple’s probability of having their 9 th child be male if the first 8 are female. 1/2
