| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| homozygous | chromosomes that have corresponding genes |
| heterozygous | having two different versions of a specific gene |
| genotype | specific. genetic makeup or DNA sequence of an organism, representing the combination of alleles inherited for particular genes |
| phenotype | set of observable characteristics, trasiutd, or physical expression of an organism |
| pedigree chart | the occurrence of genetic traits, diseases, or phenotypes across multiple gernations |
| Punnett square | predcict the probability of all possible genotypes and phenotypes in offspring |
| karyotype | set of photographs of chromosomes grouped in order in pairs |
| nondisjunction | when chromosomes fail to separate during meiosis |
| turner syndrome | sex chrome disorder females only inherit one x |
| klinefelters syndrome | prevent reproduction in males |
| what does DNA code for | codes for proteins, traits |
| DNA | double stranded sugar is oxyrybose |
| RNA | single stranded sugar is ribose |
| importance of RNA | acts as the messenger, decoder, and regulator that converts genetic information from DNA into functional protein |
| genetic mutation | source of genetic variation |
