CGHS GHSGT Heredity
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| This is an alternative form of a gene. | Allele |
| This is the process of cell reproduction where cell splits into two daughter cells. | Cell Division |
| This is the structure in the cell nucleus that houses a cell's genetic information. | Chromosome |
| This theory of inheritance states that genes are located on chromosomes which undergo segregation and independent assortment. | Chromosome Theory |
| These are organisms that come from the same cell and are genetically identical to one another. | Clones |
| This is an organism or cell with two sets of chromosomes. | Diploid |
| This holds an organisms hereditary information. | DNA |
| This is the structure of DNA as first published by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953. | Double Helix |
| This is a segment of DNA on the chromosome that is coded for a particular trait. | Gene |
| The cutting of DNA by specific enzymes known as restriction endonucleases. | Gene Splicing |
| This is the insertion of genes into an individual's cells and tissues to treat a disease, hereditary diseases in particular. | Gene Therapy |
| The process of manipulating the DNA code of living organisms. | Genetic Engineering |
| This is the science of genes, heredity and variation of organisms. | Genetics |
| The genetic makeup of an organism. | Genotype |
| This is an organism with one set of chromosomes. | Haploid |
| This law states an organism has two different alleles for a trait and the allele that is expressed in the phenotype, masking the expression of the other allele. The allele whose expression is masked is said to be recessive. | Law Of Dominance |
| This is a process where a parent cell divides into four sex cells with half the chromosomes. | Meiosis |
| This is the concept that organisms pass traits to offspring through genes. | Mendelian Inheritance |
| The process of nuclear division in cells that produces daughter cells that are genetically identical to each other and to the parent cell. | Mitosis |
| This is a random error/change in the DNA sequence. These may be inherited or occur in cells during the lifetime of the organism. | Mutation |
| The physical expression of genes. | Phenotype |
| The cells that carry the male DNA of a seed plant. | Pollen |
| This is a diagram that shows the gene combinations that might result from a genetic cross. | Punnett Square |
| A trait that can be masked by another one. | Recessive Trait |
| In multicellular organisms, this is a function of mitosis along with growth and development. | Repair |
| This is the biological process of creating a new organism. | Reproduction |
| A single stranded nucleic acid that plays a role in protein synthesis. | RNA |
