Exploring Creation with Biology - Module 7 (Cellular Reproduction) Definitions

QuestionAnswer
Genetics The science that studies how characteristics get passed from parent to offspring
Genetic factors The general guideline of traits determined by a person's DNA
Environmental factors Those "non-biological" factors that are involved in a person's surroundings such as the nature of the person's parents, the person's friends, and the person's behavioral choices
Spiritual factors The quality of a person's relationship with God
Gene A section of DNA that codes for the production of a protein or a portion of a protein, thereby causing a trait
Chromosome A strand of DNA coiled around and supported by proteins, found in the nucleus of the cell
Mitosis The duplication of a cell's chromosomes to allow daughter cells to receive the exact genetic makeup of the parent cell
Interphase The time interval between cellular reproduction
Centromere Constricted region of a chromosome and the point at which duplicate DNA strands attach themselves
Mother cell A cell ready to begin reproduction, containing duplicate DNA and centriole
Karyotype The figure produced when the chromosomes of a species during metaphase are arranged according to size
Diploid cell A cell whose chromosomes come in homologous pairs
Haploid cells Cells that have only one of each chromosome
Diploid chromosome number The total number of chromosomes in a diploid cell
Haploid chromosome number The number of homologous pairs in a diploid cell
Meiosis The process by which a diploid (2n) cell forms four gametes (n)
Gametes Haploid cells (n) produced by diploid cells (2n) for the purpose of reproduction
Virus A non-cellular infectious agent that has two characteristics: (1) It has genetic material inside a protective protein coat; (2) It cannot reproduce itself
Antibodies Specialized proteins that aid in destroying infectious agents
Vaccine A weakened or inactive version of a virus that stimulates the body's production of antibodies which can destroy the virus
