Senior high school final biology review

Explanation of nouns

  1. Dominant:
  2. dominant allele: the allele that is expressed when two different alleles or two dominant alleles are present
  3. symbol: Uppercase letters
  4. Dominant trait/character: to cross two homozygous parents with a pair of relative character, the trait that is presented in F1
  5. essence:it depends on the nature of the protein that is, or is not made

  1. Pyrimidine:
  2. Definition: it is a kind of heterocyclic compound
  3. Components: Thymine, Cytosine and Uracil
  4. Characteristics: their bases have single carbon rings

  1. Base-pairing rule:
  2. Definition:thymine(T) always pair with adenine(A), and cytosine(C) always pair with guanine(G).
  3. Principle: the sizes and the ability of the bases to form hydrogen bonds with each other
  4. Paring method: A-T-two hydrogen bond, C-G-three hydrogen bond
  5. Founder: Chargaff’s rules (all four bases are found in each organism, and the proportion of the four bases are different)

  1. Recessive:
  2. Recessive allele: that expressed only when two copies are present.
  3. Symbol: lowercase letters
  4. Recessive trait/character: to cross two homozygous parents with a pair of relative character, the trait that is not presented in F1
  5. essence:it depends on the nature of the protein that is , or is not made

  1. Gene:
  2. Definition: it’s a piece of DNA that provides a set of instructions to a cell to make a certain protein
  3. Function: instructions to a cell to make a certain protein
  4. Locus: a specific position on a pair of the homologous chromosomes

  1. mRNA:
  2. Definition:is an intermediate message that is translate to form a protein
  3. Production: in control dogma, transcription of DNA.
  4. Characteristics: Single strand+ A\U\C\G+
  5. Function: as a temporary copy of DNA that is used and then destroyed

  1. Genotype:
  2. Definition: refer to the genetic make up of a specific set of genes.
  3. Characteristics: include both of the genes that code for one traits, even if one of these genes is masked.
  4. Classification:homozygous/heterozygous
  5. Function:determines phenotype

  1. DNA polymerase
  2. Definition: is a group of energy that bond the new nucleares together
  3. Function: can form bond between nuclearotides during replication
  4. Position: moves along a DNA strand
  5. Characteristics: it needs a primer; from 5’ to 3’ direction

  1. Bacteriophage:
  2. Definition: is a type of virus that can infect bacteria
  3. Components: protein coat + DNA
  4. Ways to infect: adhere to the bacteria . Inject the DNA, copy DNA and protein,

  1. Primer:
  2. Definition: short, single strand DNA or RNA that serves as an attachment point for DNA polymerase
  3. Production: another enzyme( primase )starts making them after DNA strands are separated
  4. Function: exposed nuclear bases on a single strand of DNA form hydrogen bonds with complete bases of primer

  1. Semiconservative replication:
  2. Definition:describes the process of DNA replication in which one strand of each copy of a DNA molecule is new, and the other is a strand of the original DNA
  3. Purpose: assures that every cell has a complete set of identical genetic information
  4. Time: during S(synchronization) stage of the cell cycle

  1. Phenotype:
  2. Definition: the physical characteristics, or traits of an individual organism make up it.
  3. Expression in different individuals:Recessive/Dominant character
  4. Characteristic: determined by genotype; the phenotype is for visible traits, the hidden genes doesn’t matter to this phenotype.

  1. Segregation of characters:
  2. Definition:The offspring emerges an new trait that haven’t shown among its parents.
  3. Application: the new appearing character must be recessive trait
  4. Characteristic: parents must be heterozygous
  5. Foundation: law of segregation

  1. Homozygous:
  2. Definition:it describes two same alleles at a specific locus.
  3. Characteristic: the genes in two locus of a pair of homologous chromosomes are the same
  4. Relationship with allele: only have recessive/dominant allele

  1. Heterozygous
  2. Definition:it describes two different alleles at a specific locus.
  3. Characteristic: the genes in two locus of a pair of homologous chromosomes are different
  4. Relationship with allele: Have both Recessive/ Dominant allele

  1. Multiplication rule:
  2. Definition: multiply the probability of each event
  3. Function: the calculation the probability that two independent events will happen together
  4. Application: to calculate how many kinds of germ cell that can be produced; to calculate the probability of the offspring that will be heterozygous/homozygous

  1. Addition rule
  2. Definition: plus the probability of each event
  3. Function: the calculation the probability that one of the independent events will happen.
  4. Application: to calculate the probability of the offspring that will be heterozygous/ homozygous
