1. how a gene becomes a trait – steps, what proteins do in your body, why protein shape is important
|
Transcription -> Translation
the shape of the protein molecule is what allows it to do its unique job |
|
Definition of genetics, gene, allele, homologous chromosomes, homozygous, heterozygous, dominant, recessive, genotype, phenotype
|
Genetics: the branch of biology that studies heredity and variation in organisms
Gene:Segment of DNA Allele:One of a number of alternative forms of the same gene occupying a given position on a chromosome Homozygous: Having one dominant or non-dominant parts of a trait Heterozygous: Having both dominant and non-dominant parts of a trait Recessive: The trait that is non-dominant Genotype: How a trait is put together Phenotype: How a trait shows up in a person |
|

|
answer
|
|
Oogenesis: definition, names of different stages of the cells, number of cells produced, especially remember about polar bodies vs. egg, where it occurs, number of chromosomes in each stage of cells, what type of cell is ovulated/penetrated/fertilized
|
answer
|
|
