QuestionAnswer
Genome the haploid set of chromosomes in a gamete or microorganism, or in each cell of a multicellular organism
Characteristics a feature or quality belonging typically to a person, place, or thing and serving to identify them.
Traits a distinguishing quality or characteristic.
Chromosones thread-like structure in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells (and cytoplasm of prokaryotes) that carries genetic information as a tightly coiled molecule of DNA bound to proteins
Histones basic proteins in eukaryotic cell nuclei that package DNA into chromatin by wrapping it around them,
Coding DNA Coding DNA refers to the specific sections of your genome that contain instructions (genes) for building proteins
Non coding DNA segments of DNA that don't directly build proteins but play crucial roles in regulating genes, structuring chromosomes, and producing functional RNA molecules
Gene the basic unit of heredity, a segment of DNA located at a specific position on a chromosome that carries the information to determine traits
Locus the specific, fixed physical location of a gene or other DNA sequence (like a genetic marker) on a chromosome
Gamete mature reproductive or sex cell (like sperm or egg) that carries half the genetic information (haploid) of an organism
Fertilisation the process where male and female gametes (sperm and egg) fuse to form a single diploid cell called a zygote, initiating the development of a new organism through sexual reproduction, combining genetic material from both parents
Nuclear inheritance the passing of genetic traits via chromosomes located in the cells nucleus
Non nuclear inheritance
