Chromosomes Carries genetic information in genes
Daughter Cell Product of meiosis or mitosis
Diploid (2n) Two complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent
Gamete Sex cell, haploid cell
Haploid (1n) Single set of unpaired chromosomes, one set of chromosomes
Meiosis Process in how gamete cells reproduce
Chromatid Each of the single strands that make a chromosome
Crossing Over When non sister chromatids exchange genes
Fertilization Combining a male gamete cell and female gamete cell, making a zygote
Homologous Chromosomes Chromosomes in diploid cell that carry the same genes, ex. chromosome 21
Sexual Reproduction Zygotes or new organism made through the fusion of a male gamete with a female gamete
Allele two or more forms of a gene, like an allele that gives a pink or purple color
Conserved A gene that stayed unchanged
Genotype Genetic makeup of a cell, BB x bb
Law of Independent Assortment How different genes independently separate from each other, ex. pea color and pea shape are independently given, not given together
Law of Segregation Two of the same alleles coding for the same information separate during meiosis
Phenotype The outside characteristics(color of hair or how tall a person is)
Trait Determined by genes and environment, specific characteristic
Zygote Diploid cell resulted from two haploid cells. When the sperm and egg meet and the result
Genetic Linkage DNA sequences close together will be inherited with each other
