Organism Traits and Genetics Quiz

Organism Traits (7)

• Adenine is a purine nitrogenous base that pairs with Thymine in DNA and RNA.
• Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.
• Chromosomes are thread-like strands containing hundreds or thousands of genes.
• Cytosine is a pyrimidine nitrogenous base that pairs with Guanine in DNA and RNA.
• Double helix describes the physical structure of DNA.
• Genes are the basic units of heredity that code for traits.
• Guanine is a purine nitrogenous base that pairs with Cytosine in DNA and RNA.
• Mutation is a mistake or change in a living thing's DNA.
• Proteins are important nutrients made of amino acids.
• Thymine is a pyrimidine nitrogenous base that pairs with Adenine in DNA and RNA.
• Agriculture is another word for farming.
• Gene splicing is a post-transcriptional modification where a single gene can code for multiple proteins.
• Genetic engineering involves modifying or changing the genes of a living organism.
• Gene modification is the process of altering an organism's genetic makeup.
• Inheritance is the transmission of genes from parents to offspring.
• Selective breeding involves choosing parents with desirable characteristics to breed together and produce offspring with those characteristics.
• Sexual reproduction involves the combination of genetic information from two individuals of different sexes to create new organisms.
