|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) | show 🗑
|
||||
| Chromosome | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | A small section of a chromosome; the basic unit for the transmission of heredity. A gene consists of a string of chemicals that provide instructions for the cell to manufacture certain proteins.
🗑
|
||||
| show | A variation that makes a gene different in some way from other genes for the same characteristics. Many genes never vary; others have several possible alleles.
🗑
|
||||
| show | The full set of genes that are the instructions to make an individual member of a certain species.
🗑
|
||||
| show | The single cell formed from the union of two gametes, a sperm and an ovum.
🗑
|
||||
| Gamete | show 🗑
|
||||
| Genotype | show 🗑
|
||||
| Homozygous | show 🗑
|
||||
| 23rd Pair | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | A 23rd chromosome pair that consists of two x shaped chromosomes, one from mother and one from father. XX zygotes become females.
🗑
|
||||
| XY | show 🗑
|
||||
| Stem Cells | show 🗑
|
||||
| Monozygotic Twins | show 🗑
|
||||
| Dizygotic Twins | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | A general term for the techniques designed to help infertile couples conceive and then sustain a pregnancy.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Fertilization that takes place outside a woman's body (as in a glass laboratory dish). The procedure involves mixing the sperm with ova that have been surgically removed from the woman's ovary. If zygote is produced, then it is inserted into the woman.
🗑
|
||||
| show | The observable characteristics of a person, including appearance, personality, intelligence, and all other traits.
🗑
|
||||
| Multifactorial | show 🗑
|
||||
| Epigenetic | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Referring to a trait that is influenced by many genes.
🗑
|
||||
| show | An international effort to map the complete human genetic code, This effort was essentially completed in 2001, though analysis is ongoing.
🗑
|
||||
| show | The interaction of a heterozygous pair of alleles in such a way that the phenotype reveals the influence of one allele (the dominant gene) more than that of the other (the recessive gene).
🗑
|
||||
| Carrier | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Referring to a gene carried on the X chromosome. If a male inherits an X-linked recessive trait from his mother, he expresses that trait because the Y from his father has no counteracting gene. Females are more likely to be carriers of the X-linked trait
🗑
|
||||
| show | A statistic that indicates what percentage of the variation in a particular trait within a particular population, in a particular context and era, can be traced to genes.
🗑
|
||||
| show | A condition in which a person has 47 chromosomes instead of the usual 46, with 3 rather than 2 chromosomes at the 21st site. People with Down syndrome typically have distinctive characteristics, including unusual facial features, heart abnormalities.
🗑
|
||||
| Huntington disease | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | A genetic disorder in which part of the X chromosome seems to be attached to the rest of it by a very thin string of molecules. The cause is a single gene that has more than 200 repetitions of one triplet.
🗑
|
||||
| Genetic Counseling | show 🗑
|
||||
| Phenylketonuria (PKU) | show 🗑
