|---|---|
| What are chromosomes 1-22 called? | Autosome |
| What is chromosome 23 (x and y) | Sex chromosomes |
| Body cells | Somatic cells |
| Sex/reproductive cells | Gamete cells |
| 1 copy of each gene | Haploid |
| 2 copies of each gene | Diploid |
| Stretched out DNA (found in interphase) | Chromatin |
| Half of a chromosome | Chromatid |
| Two chromatids + a centromere | Chromosome |
| Middle of a cell during division | Equator |
| Either end of a cell during division | Poles |
| Fibers that pull chromatid apart in anaphase | Spindle Fibre |
| Cell division in body cells is ____ | Mitosis |
| Cell division in sex cells is ______ | Meiosis |
| When two homologous chromosomes line up on top of each other in meiosis | Tetrad |
| when two homologous chromosomes swap sections of DNA to create variation | Crossing Over |
| 2 chromosomes with the same genetic content and size (roughly) | Homologous Chromosomes |
| When do organelles start reforming? | Cytokenisis |
| Normal cell function happens here - at the end of this phase the cell prepares for division | Interphase |
| What is it called when chromatids do not separate properly? this happens in anaphase of meiosis | Nondisjunction |
| A characteristic controlled by genetics | A trait |
| A section of DNA (codes for a trait) | Gene |
| Versions of genes | Alleles |
| Combinations of alleles, represented using letters | Genotypes |
| The physical representation of a genotype (tall, colourblind, ect) | Phenotype |
| A genotype with the same alleles is _______ | Homozygous |
| A genotype with different alleles is __________ | Heterozygous |
| An allele that shows up if it is present | Dominant |
| An allele that only shows up if there is no dominant allele | Recessive |
