Name: What is DNA? 1) Why is DNA important? 2) What does DNA stand for? 3) Why is DNA called a blueprint? 4) The "twisted ladder" shape of the DNA molecule is called a . 5) Name the four bases found in a DNA molecule. 6) A DNA strand is made of which make up 7) These "sentences" are called which make up sentences. . What is a Gene? 8) What is a gene? 9) Blood cells use a protein called to capture and carry oxygen. 10) When a gene is changed, it is said to be . 11) A mutation in the hemoglobin gene cause what disorder? What is a Chromosome? 12) If you stretched the DNA from a cell out, how long would it be? 13) How many chromosomes are in a human cell? mosquito? In a carp? In a What is a Protein? 14) How is a protein like a car engine? 15) Receptor proteins are responsible for picking up . 16) Each gene in DNA encodes information on how to make a 17) Once in the cytoplasm, the reads the message. . What is Heredity? 18) The passing of traits from parents to a child is the basis of 19) Every child receives his father. of its chromosomes from his mother, and 20) When a sperm and egg join, they create a single cell called a 21) Each child inherits a . from . set of chromosomes.
