1 Children resemble their parents.
2 Genes come in pairs.
3 Genes don't blend.
4 Some genes are dominant.
5 Genetic inheritance follows rules.
6 Genes are real things.
7 All cells arise from pre-existing cells.
8 Sex cells have one set of chromosomes; body cells have two.
9 Specialized chromosomes determine gender.
10 Chromosomes carry genes.
11 Genes get shuffled when chromosomes exchange pieces.
12 Evolution begins with the inheritance of gene variations.
13 Mendelian laws apply to human beings.
14 Mendelian genetics cannot fully explain human health and behavior.
15 DNA and proteins are key molecules of the cell nucleus.
16 One gene makes one protein.
17 A gene is made of DNA.
18 Bacteria and viruses have DNA too.
19 The DNA molecule is shaped like a twisted ladder.
20 A half DNA ladder is a template for copying the whole.
21 RNA is an intermediary between DNA and protein.
22 DNA words are three letters long.
23 A gene is a discrete sequence of DNA nucleotides.
24 The RNA message is sometimes edited.
25 Some viruses store genetic information in RNA.
26 RNA was the first genetic molecule.
27 Mutations are changes in genetic information.
28 Some 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.
