Genetics/Punnett
Punnett Square, Crosses, Dominances, Mutation & Gene Tech
Definition | Terms |
---|---|
Used to predict the ratio or percentage of the possible genes or tratis that an offspring will have based on the genotype of the parents. | Punnett square |
Type of punnett square that shows the inheritance of a single characteritics. | Monohybrid cross |
Type of punnet square that shows the inheritance of two characteristics. | Dihybrid cross |
Also related to heterozygous and has one dominant allele and one recessive allele. | Hybrid |
Also related to homozygous and has two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles. | Purebred |
Condition in which the dominant allele does not completely mask "hide" the recessive allele. | Incomplete dominance |
Condition in which there is more than one dominant allele | Codominance |
Altered "change' in the genes of an organism that can harm, benefit, or have no effect on an organism that occur radomly or by environmental exposures | Mutation |
Human body sex cells which include sperm and egg. | Gametes |
Human body cells that does not include the sex cells. | Somatic |
The manipulation of an organism's genes or genome. | Genetic engineering |
A list of instructions on how to make a human or any other organism. | Genome |
Type of genetic engineering is which humans breed or reinforce desired traits into a particular organism. | Selective breeding |
Genes that are added or manipulated directly into the genome of an organism to make it grow faster and bigger or become more resistant to diseases. | Modified genes |
Internationa research effort to determine the sequence of the human genome. | Human genome project |
