Question
Answer
phenotype   apperance or observable traits  
🗑
Genotype   genetic makeup  
🗑
Allele   alternative versions of a gene  
🗑
Autosomes   a chromosome that is not directly involved in determining sex; not a sex chromosome  
🗑
Recessive   has no noticeable effect on the organism's apperance  
🗑
Dominant   determines the organism's appearance  
🗑
Monohybrid   heterozygous for one character  
🗑
Dihybrid   individuals heterozygous for two characters  
🗑
Gamete   transmit genes from one generation  
🗑
Heterozygous   organism that has 2 different alleles for a gene  
🗑
Homozygous   organism that has a pair of identical alleles for a character  
🗑
Karyotype   the resulting order that is displayed  
🗑
Codominance   two alleles both affect the phenotype in seperate, distinguishable ways  
🗑
incomplete dominance   neither allele is completely dominant, F1 hybrids have a phenotype between those two parental varieties.  
🗑
Complete dominance   when one allele shows dominance over another  
🗑
Locus   a specific place along the length of a chromosome where a given gene is located  
🗑
Epistasis   at gene at one locus alters the phenotypic expression of a gene at the second locus  
🗑
polygenic inheritance   an additive effect of two or more genes on a single phenotypic character  
🗑
Multiple alleles   most genes exist in more than two allelic forms, ABO blood types- IA, IB, i. (group) Person: (A, B, AB, O )  
🗑
Pleiotropy   multiple phenotypic effects.  
🗑
Kinetochore   a structure of proteins attached to the centromere that links each sister chromatid to the mitotic spindle  
🗑
Centrosome   structure present in the cytoplasm of animal cells, important during cell division, functions as a micro-tubule organizing center; has two centrioles  
🗑
Centromere   the specialized region of the chromosome where two sister chromatids are most closely attached  
🗑
Centriole   a structure in the centrosome of an animal e composed of cylinders of microtubule triplets arranged in a 9+0 pattern. has a pair of centrioles  
🗑
Germ cell   specialized cells that form gametes  
🗑
Zygote   the diploid product of the union of haploid gametes during fertilization; a fertilized egg  
🗑
Gamete   a haploid reproductive cell, such as an egg or sperm. gametes unite during sexual reproduction to produce a diploid zygote  
🗑
Haploid   a cell containing only one set of chromosomes  
🗑
Diploid   a cell containing two sets of chromosomes, one set is inherited from each parent  
🗑
Somatic Cell   any cell in a multicellular organism except a sperm or egg cell  
🗑
Sex cell   egg or sperm  
🗑
F1, F2,F3 generations   1.) the first filial, or hybrid, offspring in a series of genetic crosses 2.) Offspring resulting from interbreeding of the hybrid F1 3.) the result of the breeding of the F2 generation  
🗑
Truebreeding   Referring to plants that produce offspring of the same variety when they self-pollinate  
🗑
advantage of sexual reproduction   more genetic variation, and survival  
🗑
mitosis   I,P,P,M,A,T(C), 2 diploid daughter cells  
🗑
meiosis   sex cells, same process as mitosis but 2 stages (1 homologous chromosomes are separated but sisters stay together) (2 separate the sister chromatids,  
🗑
if a cell cant pass a G1 checkpoint   goes to G0 checkpoint; resting  
🗑
Protein Kinase   activates or inactivates proteins by adding a phosphate group, phosphorylation, changes the shape  
🗑
X chromosome inactivation   Barr Body, one chromosome in each female becomes inactivated during embryonic development  
🗑
reciprocal chromosomal translocation   flip genes between two chromosomes  
🗑
Chromosomes replicated   Gap 2 of interphase  
🗑
DNA replicated   S phase  
🗑
Anchorage dependent   to divide have to attach to a substratum  
🗑
Density Dependent inhibition   crowded cells stop replicating  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
