Term
hemophilla
Definition
a sex linked disorder, the mutated gene is contained on the x chromosome
Term
what is the genotype of a female carrier for hemophila?
Definition
XXh
Term
what is the genotype for a male affected by hemophila?
Definition
XhY
Term
why cant a male be an unaffected carrier for hemophila?
Definition
only has one X chromosome
Term
predict the offspring of a cross between a female who is affected by hemophila and an unaffected male
Definition
one female carrier
one male hemophiliac
one unaffected female and one unaffected male
Term
what chrosomes determines sex?
Definition
X and Y
Term
why dont we consider the sex chromosomes to be homologous pairs?
Definition
in males they do not carry the same genes
Term
how many chromosomes does the normal human contain? how many chromosomes are contained in a normal sperm cell? a normal egg cell? are they gametes haploid or diploid?
Definition
46, 23, 23, haploid
Term
what parents gamete determines the sex of the child? how?
Definition
male. sperm either carries an X or Y chromosome
Term
meiosis is to sex cell, as mitosis is to
Definition
somatic (body call)
Term
meiosis is to haploid cells as mitosis is to
Definition
diploid cells
Term
DNA-----> MESSENGER RNA------> PROTEIN
Definition
transcription, translation
Term
what are the three nucleotides of tRNA refered as?
Definition
anticodon
Term
what is the name of the bond formed between amino acid molecules?
Definition
peptide bond
Term
a molecule of amino acids is referred as?
Definition
polypeptide
Term
process that uses electricity to seperate a mixture of DNA fragments from each other based on their lengths
Definition
gel electrophoresis
Term
process that plaprocesses that place charges directly into an organisms DNA
Definition
genetic engineering
Term
DNA molecule that is produced by combining DNA fragments from different organisms
Definition
recombinant DNA
Term
ieichemicals that cut DNA molecules at specific areas of the nucleotide sequence
Definition
restriction enzyme
Term
process of artificially conducting DNA replication outside of a cell (in a test tube)
Definition
polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
Term
process that determines the sequence of a particular dna molecule
Definition
DNA sequencing
Term
producing many cells (or a whole organism) from a single body cell
Definition
cloning
Term
enzymes that forms phosphodiester bonds between dna molecules
Definition
dna ligase
Term
exposing an organism to chemical or radiation to change the dna
Definition
mutangenesis
Term
process of comparing similar dna sequences in order to determine who a particular sample of dna came from
Definition
dna finegrprinting
Term
small circular section of dna found naturally in bacterial cells that is manipulated in genetic engineering to contain genes of intrest

Term
process by which individuals that are better suited to their environment survive and reproduce most sucessfully
Definition
natural selection
