Question

1. transcription

converting the genetic code into the language of proteins
2. translation
the transfer of genetic code from DNA to an RNA molecule
3. monohybrid cross
when genes are neither dominant nor recessive and display a blending of traits in the phenotype
4. incomplete dominance
genes that are carried on the X chromosome
5. sex-linked genes
the breeding of two organisms which differ in a single trait

Answer 1

To summarize what we know to this point, the cellular process of transcription generates messenger RNA (mRNA), a mobile molecular copy of one or more genes with an alphabet of A, C, G, and uracil (U). Translation of the mRNA template converts nucleotide-based genetic information into a protein product. Protein sequences consist of 20 commonly occurring amino acids; therefore, it can be said that the protein alphabet consists of 20 letters. Each amino acid is defined by a three-nucleotide sequence called the triplet codon
