1Children resemble their parents.
2Genes come in pairs.
3Genes don't blend.
4Some genes are dominant.
5Genetic inheritance follows rules.
6Genes are real things.
7All cells arise from pre-existing cells.
8Sex cells have one set of chromosomes; body cells have two.
9Specialized chromosomes determine gender.
10Chromosomes carry genes.
11Genes get shuffled when chromosomes exchange pieces.
12 Evolution begins with the inheritance of gene variations.
13Mendelian laws apply to human beings.
14Mendelian genetics cannot fully explain human health and behavior.
15DNA and proteins are key molecules of the cell nucleus.
16One gene makes one protein.
17A gene is made of DNA.
18Bacteria and viruses have DNA too.
19The DNA molecule is shaped like a twisted ladder.
20A half DNA ladder is a template for copying the whole.
21RNA is an intermediary between DNA and protein.
22DNA words are three letters long.
23A gene is a discrete sequence of DNA nucleotides.
24The RNA message is sometimes edited.
25Some viruses store genetic information in RNA.
26RNA was the first genetic molecule.
27Mutations are changes in genetic information.
28Some types of mutations are automatically repaired.
29DNA is packaged in a chromosome.
30Higher cells incorporate an ancient chromosome.
31Some DNA does not encode protein.
32Some DNA can jump.
33Genes can be turned on and off.
34Genes can be moved between species.
35DNA responds to signals from outside the cell.
36Different genes are active in different kinds of cells.
37Master genes control basic body plans.
38Development balances cell growth and death.
39A genome is an entire set of genes.
40Living things share common genes.
41DNA is only the beginning for understanding the human genome.
