Flip

Hint the full set of DNA present in an organism genome
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 non-coding regions that occur occur within genes introns
Hint the enzyme involved in transcription RNA polymerase
Hint specific region on the DNA where RNA polymerase binds to start transcription promoter site
Hint triplet of 3 nucleotides on the mRNA that codes for an amino acid codon
Hint molecules that carry amino acids and bind to codons on the mRNA during translation tRNA
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
Hint technology used to amplify small amounts of DNA, using DNA polymerase PCR
Hint amplify increase, enlarge (an amplifier increase a signal to speakers for sound production) [definition]
Hint an enzyme that cuts DNA molecules at specific restriction sites restriction enzyme
Hint surrogate mother a female who is implanted with an embryo created by in vitro fertilization [definition]
Hint non-coding regions of the DNA that can be used to uniquely identify an individual short tandem repeats
Hint apparatus to separate DNA fragments based on fragment size gel electrophoresis
Hint technology using gel electrophoresis and restriction enzymes to identify individuals by their DNA fragments DNA fingerprint
