Question | Answer |
the basic form of heredity; indicates the traits or characteristics found or displayed by an individual | genes |
includes an individual's traits that are passed down from parents | heredity |
condensed DNA; each has several genes | chromosomes |
genetic material that is passed down form parents to offspring | DNA |
a pair of chromosomes, may have alleles | homolog |
the two different copies of the same gene | alleles |
where the genes are found on the chromosome | loci |
the genotype has two dominant alleles; shown in the phenotype when only one dominant copy is present | homozygous dominant alleles |
the genotype has two recessive alleles | homozygous recessive alleles |
a genotype that has one dominant and one recessive allele | heterozygous allele |
the names of genes that you cannot see; inherited form family | genotype |
an outward visible characteristic that genes are responsible for | phenotype |
used to determine the possible genotype of the resulting phenotype | punnet square |
the father of genetics | Gregor Mendel |
What our bodies use to fight off a virus? | Antibodies |
We inherit traits | characteristics |
simple outward characteristics, what you can see clearly | qualitative |
traits that you cannot see very clearly | quantitive |
Mendelian characteristics were ___________ traits | qualitative |
have half as many chromosomes as the parent cell | gamete |
cell division with 1 replication of chromosomes but with 2 divisions of cell producing gametes | meiosis |
determines the phenotype even when only one copy is present | dominant gene |
two copies must be present to be seen as the phenotype | recessive gene |
produced by meiosis; egg/sperm reproductive cells; 1/2 the number of chromosomes | gametes |
body cell division; daughter cell have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell | mitosis |
combining of egg and sperm to produce offspring | fertilization |
pair of chromosomes | homolog |
produced from mitosis and the cells contain all chromosomes | diploid |
produced from meiosis and the cells contain 1/2 chromosomes | haploid |
