Chapter 6 Flashcards: DNA and the expression of genes

Hint the full set of genetic material present in an organism genome
Hint a sequence of nucleotidea which codes for a protein gene
Hint alternative versions of a gene that are inherited from each parent alleles
Hint an individual's alleles (genetic makeup), inherited from its parents genotype
Hint an observable trait of an individual, determined by its genotype phenotype
Hint pheno appearing, seeming (phenomenon is something observed) [prefix]
Hint a phenotype is exhibited from a gene when transcription is followed by translation expression
Hint the enzyme involved in transcription RNA polymerase
Hint specific region on the DNA where RNA polymerase binds to start transcription promoter site
Hint scribe a person who copies documents (usually in the same language, e.g. from oral to written form) [definition]
Hint molecules that carry amino acids and bind to codons on the mRNA during translation tRNA
Hint triplet of 3 nucleotides on the mRNA that codes for an amino acid codon
Hint a change in the DNA sequence of an organism mutation
Hint insertions or deletions of nucleotides can lead to this type of mutation frame-shift mutation
