Genetics Flashcards
Genetics questions on the TEAS often test whether students can apply inheritance patterns, not just define terms, so this deck pairs each term with the concept it's actually used for. It covers molecular and cellular genetics, inheritance patterns, and the tools used to predict traits, like Punnett squares.
Cards also cover protein synthesis and cell division, since these processes explain how genetic instructions actually get carried out. Each term includes a clinical note on why the concept matters, such as inherited conditions or genetic counseling.
Who this deck is for
Pre-nursing students reviewing genetics and heredity for the TEAS science section or an intro biology course.
Topics covered
Sample terms
The study of heredity and how traits are passed from parents to offspring.
The loose combination of DNA and proteins found in a nondividing cell nucleus.
An allele expressed when one or two copies are present.
A diagram used to predict possible allele combinations in offspring.
A trait influenced by multiple genes.
The process of copying DNA before cell division.
