Year 10 DNA and Genetics

6. One of the alternative forms of a gene that can occupy a specific position on a chromosome.
7. Represented by T, it is one of the four bases that builds DNA
9. A condition caused by abnormalities or mutations in an individual's genes.
10. The full name for DNA
12. The differences in DNA sequences among individuals of a species.
14. The process by which genetic material is passed from parents to offspring.
17. The passing on of traits from parents to offspring through genes.
18. The genetic makeup of an organism, often represented by letters or symbols.

1. A change in the DNA sequence that can lead to genetic variation.
2. The study of how traits are inherited according to the principles proposed by Gregor Mendel. engineering: The manipulation of an organism's genes to produce desired traits or outcomes.
3. The observable physical or biochemical characteristics of an organism, determined by its genotype.
4. A thread-like structure composed of DNA and proteins that carries genes.
5. The set of rules that determines how nucleotide triplets (codons) in DNA and RNA specify amino acids. DNA: DNA that has been artificially combined from different sources or organisms.
8. The alteration of an organism's genetic material using biotechnology techniques.
9. The process by which information from a gene is used to create a functional product, such as a protein.
11. The process of creating an identical copy of an organism or gene.: The process by which genetic information in DNA is copied into a complementary RNA sequence.: The process by which the genetic code in RNA is used to assemble proteins.
13. Represented by G, it is one of the four bases that builds DNA
15. Represented by C, it is one of the four bases that builds DNA
16. Represented by A, it is one of the four bases that builds DNA
18. A segment of DNA that carries the instructions for producing a specific protein.
