Question
Answer
The process of passing traits from biological parents to children is called   Heredity  
🗑
The study of Heredity or inheritance is called   Genetics  
🗑
All humans cells (except for germ cells) Contain 23 pairs of _____________   Chromosomes  
🗑
Chromosomes consist of long strands of tightly coiled _______   DNA  
🗑
Contain the traits that each person inherits   Genes  
🗑
Varies in size, ranging from a few hundred DNA bases to more then 2 million   Genes  
🗑
Similar in structure , such as two similar chromosomes that are paired together   Homologous  
🗑
A chart showing all chromosomes arranged in order by size and structure   Karyotype  
🗑
Non-sex Chromosomes   Autosomes  
🗑
Each pair of chromosomes consists of a chromosome inherited from the mother and a chromosome inherited from the father   Autosomes  
🗑
Chromosomes designated by the letters X and Y that determine gender   Sex Chromosomes  
🗑
In Females, both chromosomes are relatively large and designated by the letter ___   X  
🗑
in males, one sex chromosome is an X and one is a smaller chromosome designated by the letter   Y  
🗑
The location of specific gene on a chromosome is called its   Locus  
🗑
this allows the genes supplied by the egg to align with the similar genes supplied by the egg to align with the similar gene supplied y the sperm   Locus  
🗑
if a person has two alleles that are the same, the person is said to be _________ for that trait   Homozygous  
🗑
If the alleles are different, the person is said to be ________   Heterozygous  
🗑
Alternative from a gene   Allele  
🗑
A complete set of genetic information for one person is called   Genome  
🗑
An allele that produces the same phenotype whether its paired allele is identical or different   Dominate Allele  
🗑
An allele that produces it characteristic phenotype only when its paired allele is identical   Recessive Allele  
🗑
is a phenomenon in which a single gene has more then one dominate allele   Codominant  
🗑
if a gene's information is used for something such as making a protein it is said to be _________   Expressed  
🗑
Females=   XX  
🗑
Males=   XY  
🗑
How many chromosomes do you receive from mom   23  
🗑
How many chromosomes do you receive from dad   23  
🗑
The genetic information stored at the locus of the gene, even if those traits are not expressed   Genotype  
🗑
The detectable, outward manifestation of a genotype   Phenotype  
🗑
A permanent change in genetic material is known as a   Mutation  
🗑
When the defective allele is dominant, it overrides the normally functioning gene and the disorder results   Autosomal Dominant Inheritance  
🗑
the offspring must inherit two copies of the defective allele before the disorder manifest itself.   Autosomal Recessive Inheritance  
🗑
The most common disorders result when homologous chromosomes fail to separate during meiosis is called   Nondisjuction  
🗑
Both chromosomes go to the same daughter cell, while the other daughter cell doesn't receive a chromosome is called   Nondijuction  
🗑
When fertilization adds the matching chromosomes, one daughter cell has three of that particular chromosomes this is called   Trisomy  
🗑
Is where the other daughter cell has no chromosome with no mate is called   Monosomy  
🗑
If a boy inherits an extra X chromosome (XXY) ____________ develops   Klinefelter Syndrome  
🗑
Becomes apparent in males at puberty when secondary sexual characteristic fail to develop   Klinefelter Syndrome  
🗑
if a girl is born with only one x chromosome   Turner Syndrome  
🗑
Becomes apparent in females at puberty when secondary sexual characteristic fail to develop   Turner Syndrome  
🗑
the environmental factors that have a strong influences over genetic mutation, determining the progression of a disease or even whether the disease develops at all   Multifectorial inheritance  
🗑
Phenomenon whereby genes at two or more loci contribute to the expression of a single trait   Polygenic Inheritance  
🗑
Someone who carries a normal gene along with it recessive allele   Carrier  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
