If a baby has its fathers nose it means that |
The baby inherited many alleles from the father that equal the same nose |
|
Entire genome of reproductive age individuals |
Gene pool |
|
To start the transcription process a large molecule _____________ recognizes a _____________ |
RNA polymerase; promoter site |
|
During transcription at the point where the DNA stand is being copied has an adenine a(n) ____________ is added to the ________________. |
Uracil; mRNA |

|
What are the two major ways to replicate |
Meiosis and Mitosis |
|
Altruistic behavior in animals may result from kin selection a process in which |
Genes promote the survival of copies of themselves when behaviors by animals possessing those genes assist other animals that share those genes |
|
Makes it possible to produce two identical strands by separating the parent strand and using each strand as a template |
Complimentary base pairing |
|
During DNA replication each strand serves as a |
Template for the complimentary strand |
|
Exclusive male parental care is more common in fish rather than mammals because fish reproduce through |
External fertilization |
|
Natural Selection can only act on ______________ traits |
Heritable (passed on) |

Interferes with cell Division Circulates throughout the body Disrupts normal system that reproduces cells |
|
When alleles code for different traits of the same characteristics |
Alternative versions of the gene |
