Protein Synthesis 100 Points
The names of the two parts to protein synthesis
4
Protein Synthesis 100 Points
What are transcription and translation?
5
Protein Synthesis 200 Points
The end product of gene expression.
6
Protein Synthesis 200 Points
What is an amino acid chain/protein?
7
Protein Synthesis 300 Points
The name of the type of RNA that carries amino
acids.
8
Protein Synthesis 300 Points
What is tRNA?
9
Protein Synthesis 400 Points
A mutation that results in a premature stop
signal.
10
Protein Synthesis 400 Points
What is a nonsense mutation?
11
Protein Synthesis 500 Points
The component that controls some aspects of gene
expression. Hint this can change with time and
is often influenced by environment- think Ghost
in Your Genes.
12
Protein Synthesis500 points

• What is epigenetics?

13
Basic Genetics 100 Points
The physical characteristics of an organism.
14
Basic Genetics 100 Points
What is the phenotype?
15
Basic Genetics 200 Points
Having a pair of identical alleles for a
characterisitc.
16
Basic Genetics 200 Points
What is homozygous?
17
Basic Genetics 300 Points
A situation in which a gene has more than two
alleles (ex. blood type).
18
Basic Genetics 300 Points
What is multiple alleles?
19
Basic Genetics 400 Points
An F1 rabbit that is homozygous for whiteness is
crossed with a heterozygous black rabbit. The
probability of having a white bunny.
20
Basic Genetics 400 Points
What is 50 ?
b b
B Bb- black Bb- black
b bb- white bb- white
21
Basic Genetics 500 Points
How polygenic traits and pleiotropy are opposites.
22
Basic Genetics 500 Points

• pleiotropy is when you have one gene that affects
  more than one trait (ex. cystic fibrosis)
• polygenic traits are when you have multiple
  genes coding for one trait (ex. hair or eye color)

23
Genetic Engineering 100 Points
Stem cells recovered from the result of in vitro
fertilization.
24
Genetic Engineering 100 Points
What are embryonic stem cells?
25
Genetic Engineering 200 Points
An organism that contains genes from another
organism.
26
Genetic Engineering 200 Points
What is a transgenic organism?
27
Genetic Engineering 300 Points
DNA can be cut into shorter sequences by this.
28
Genetic Engineering 300 Points
What is a restriction enzyme?
29
Genetic Engineering 400 Points
Four things that are needed to make recombinant
DNA.
30
Genetic Engineering 400 Points
What are a restriction enzyme, a bacterium
plasmid, and donor DNA, and ligase?
31
Genetic Engineering 500 Points
How a PCR is made.
32
Genetic Engineering 500 Points

• DNA is heated to separate the strands
• DNA is cooled so that synthetic primers anneal to
  target section
• DNA is warmed for elongation of strand
• DNA polymerase makes copies of the region between
  the primers

Evolution 100 Points
Definition of a species.
44
Evolution 100 Points
What is a taxonomic group whose members can
interbreed and produce fertile offspring?
45
Evolution 200 Points
The guy who thought that organisms acquired
traits by using their bodies in new ways and then
passing those traits on to their offspring
46
