Repro/Inherit/Chromo
Mix of Patterns of reproduction, patterns of inheritance+Chromosomes/Inheritance
| Term | definition |
|---|---|
| Asexual Reproduction | a reproductive process that involves only one parent and produces offspring that one genetically identical to the parent. |
| Sexual Reproduction | two parents combine their genetic material to produce a new organism which differ from both parents. |
| Fertilization | Sexual reproduction involves an egg cell and a sperm cell joining to form a new cell. |
| Trait | A specific characteristic that an organism can pass to its offspring through its genes. |
| Gene | A sequence of DNA that determines a trait and is passed from parent to offspring. |
| Inheritance | The process by which an offspring receives genes from its parents. |
| Allele | A different form of the same gene. |
| Polygenic Inheritance | Different genes that are expressed together to produce the trait. |
| Heredity | The passing of traits from parent to offspring. |
| Quantity | The amount or number of a material or immaterial thing not usually estimated by spatial measurement. |
| Factors | A substance that takes part in a biochemical reaction or a biological process. |
| Dominant allele | Is one whose trait always shows up in the organism when the allele is present. |
| Recessive allele | Is hidden whenever the dominant allele is present. |
| Probability | A number that describes how likely it is that an event will occur. |
| Genotype | An organism's genetic makeup or combinations of alleles. |
| Phenotype | The organism's physical appearance or visible traits. |
| Chromosomes | Genes that are segments of code that appear on structures. |
| Structure | The arrangement of and relations between the parts or elements of something complex. |
| Cell Cycle | The series of events in which a cell grows, prepares for division, and divides to form daughter cells. |
| Pedigree | A tool that geneticists use to map out the inheritance of traits. |
| Meiosis | Gametes (sperm and egg) are formed through a specialized process. |
| Homologous Chromosomes | Have one chromosome from each parent |
| Chromatids | |
| Mitosis | The majority of our body cells |
