Reproduction

TermDefinition
gene a segment of DNA which is found on a chromosome that determines the inheritance of a trait
trait A specific version of a characteristic that varies from individual to individual
allele one of two(or more) alternate forms of a gene that determine a specific trait (offspring will get one allele from each of its parents for any specific trait)
dominant in a pair of alleles, the one that, if present, determines the trait (represented with uppercase letters)
recessive in a pair of alleles, the one that is masked if a dominant allele is present (represented with lowercase letters)
asexual reproduction A process by which organisms make exact copies of themselves without the union of gametes (sperm and egg cells).
clone An offspring produced by asexual reproduction, either naturally or through artificial processes, that is identical to the parent
egg cell A cell produced by a female that contains half the number of chromosomes present in other body cells. A female reproductive cell.
gene A specific sequence of DNA that determines one or more traits.
nucleus The part of a cell that contains the chromosomes and, therefore, the genes.
offspring Each new organism produced by sexual or asexual reproduction
sexual reproduction Process by which a sperm cell from a male unites with an egg cell from a female to produce offspring that inherit traits from both.
sperm cell Cell produced by a male that contains half the number of chromosomes present in other body cells. A male sex cell.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
