Genetics Part Two
Genetics
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Genotype | genetic make-up of an organism |
| Dominant | trait observed in the first generation (HH,Hh) (capital) |
| Genes | one set of instructions for an inherited trait |
| Blood Cells | carry oxygen & other materials through the body |
| Cytokinesis | cells without a cell wall separate into two new daughter cells |
| Heterozygous/Hybrid | one dominant and one recessive allele (Hh,Bb) |
| DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) | located in the nucleus of a cell, carries genetic material/ information |
| Heredity | passing of traits from parent to offspring |
| Interphase | longest phase, cell grows, DNA is copied, (chromosomes are copied) |
| Anaphase | chromatids separate and move to opposite sides of the cell |
| Mitosis | asexual reproduction, process of cell division from one parent cell |
| Metaphase | nuclear membrane dissolves, paired chromatids line up at cells equator |
| Chromosomes | stores genetic instructions, made up of DNA and protein, main ring of DNA |
| Homozygous/Purebred | two dominant or two recessive alleles (HH,hh,BB,bb) |
| Telophase | nuclear membrane forms around each set of chromosomes, chromosomes unwind |
| Phenotype | physical appearance of an organism |
| Recessive Trait | trait that is apparent only when two recessive alleles for the same characteristics are inherited (lowercase) (h,h) |
| Prophase | chromosomes condense from long strands to rod like structures |
| Order of Mitosis Phases | interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, cytokinesis |
