|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chromosome | A thread like structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes.
🗑
|
||||
| Karyotype | The number and visual appearance of the chromosomes in the cell nuclei of an organism or species
🗑
|
||||
| Amino Acid Sequence | The order of which amino acid residues, connected by peptide bonds, lie in the chain in peptides and proteins
🗑
|
||||
| Genotype | The genetic constitution of an individual organism
🗑
|
||||
| Phenotype | The set of observable characteristics of an individual resulting from the interaction of its genotype with the environment
🗑
|
||||
| Genetic Mutation | Permanent alteration in the DNA sequence makes up a gene, such that the sequence differs from what is found in most people. Mutations range in size.
🗑
|
||||
| Mitosis | A type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, typical of ordinary tissue growth.
🗑
|
||||
| Meiosis | A type of cell division that results in four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell, as in the in the production of gametes and plant spores.
🗑
|
||||
| Dominant | An allele can be recessive or dominant
🗑
|
||||
| Recessive | Only shows if the individual has two copies of the recessive allele - eg. allele from blue eyes is recessive
🗑
|
||||
| Co - Dominant | When two alleles for a trait are equally expressed with neither being recessive or dominant
🗑
|
||||
| Alleles | Forms of genes
🗑
|
||||
| Punnet Square | Diagram used to predict an outcome of a particular cross or breeding experiment.
🗑
|
||||
| Monophybrid Cross | Mating between two individuals who have different alleles
🗑
|
||||
| Autosomal | One of several ways a trait, disorder or diseased can be passed down though families
🗑
|
||||
| Mendelian Ratios | Ratio of occurrence of various phenotypes
🗑
|
||||
| Polygenic Inheritance | Form of inheritance in which a particular trait is produced by the interaction of many genes.
🗑

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.
