What is a nonsense mutation?
Categories
The component that controls some
aspects of gene expression. Hint: this
can change with time and is often
influenced by environment- think

How polygenic traits and pleiotropy
are opposites.
Basic Genetics 500 Points
Categories
•pleiotropy is when you have one gene that
affects more than one trait (ex. cystic fibrosis)
• polygenic traits are when you have multiple
genes coding for one trait (ex. hair or eye color)

Genetic Engineering 400 Points
Categories
How a PCR is made.
Genetic Engineering 500 Points
Categories
•DNA is heated to separate the strands
•DNA is cooled so that synthetic
primers anneal to target section
•DNA is warmed for elongation of
strand
•DNA polymerase makes copies of the
region between the primers
