Premium Genetics DNA Gene
DNA‚ which stands for Deoxyribonucleic acid is a nucleic acid that contains the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms. The main role of DNA molecules is the long-term storage of information. These nucleic acids consist of long chains if chemical units called nucleotides. Nucleic acids are information storage molecules that provide the directions for building proteins. Described by the DNA testing centre‚ Inc.‚ “DNA is found inside the chromosome

SBI3U1-04 Final Exam Study Notes Unit 1: Diversity of Living Things 1.1 Importance of Biodiversity Spotlight on Honeybees Very important‚ pollinate flowers allowing plants to reproduce Play vital role in food chain‚ if they die‚ all organisms that rely on them will die as well Dying because of pesticides‚ parasitic Varroa mite (infects beehives and sucks of bees’ blood)‚ the Israeli acute paralysis virus (immobilizes and kill bees) No genetic diversity = Less resistant to parasites
Premium DNA Chromosome Cell
the equatorial plate (middle) Anaphase: Sister chromosomes are pulled to opposite poles by spindle fibres Telophase: Spindle Fibres disappear and nuclear membranes form around the chromosomes at both poles Cytokinesis: Cell divides into 2 Meiosis: to make reproductive cells Makes haploid cell Division happens twice Crossing over of chromosomes Homologus: Similar cells but not the same‚ same genes‚ but with small differences. Part 1 Interphase – Chromosomes replicate Prophase 1 – Nuclear

Lesson 6.2: True or False Name___________________ Class______________ Date________ Write true if the statement is true or false if the statement is false. T 1. The rules of probability apply to genetics. T 2. If an individual has a Gg genotype‚ half of his gametes should have the G allele‚ and the other half should have the g allele. F 3.

Biology – living organisms Scientific Method – making observations‚ proposing ideas about how something works‚ testing ideas‚ discarding or modifying -allows us to solve problems and answer questions efficiently and effectively. -Ideas about “how things work” = hypothesis. -proposed explanation for one or more observations -scientific hypothesis MUST be testable -must be falsifiable (observations could prove false) Observations Question Hypothesis = imagination‚ intuition‚ chance
