|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | One of the 46 molecules of DNA 9 (in 23 pairs) that virtually each cell of the human body contains and that together, contain all the genes. Other species have more or fewer chromosomes.
🗑
|
||||
| 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.
🗑
|
||||
| Genome | show 🗑
|
||||
| Zygote | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | A reproductive cell; that is a sperm or ovum that can produce a new individual if it combines with a gamete from the other sex to make a zygote.
🗑
|
||||
| show | An organism's entire genetic inheritance, or genetic potential.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Referring to two genes of one pair that are exactly the same in every letter of their code. Most gene pairs are homozygous.
🗑
|
||||
| 23rd Pair | show 🗑
|
||||
| XX | show 🗑
|
||||
| XY | show 🗑
|
||||
| Stem Cells | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Twins who originate from one zygote that splits apart very early in development. (a.k.a identical twins). Other monozygotic multiple births (such as triplets) can occur.
🗑
|
||||
| Dizygotic Twins | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | A general term for the techniques designed to help infertile couples conceive and then sustain a pregnancy.
🗑
|
||||
| In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The observable characteristics of a person, including appearance, personality, intelligence, and all other traits.
🗑
|
||||
| Multifactorial | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Referring to environment factors that affect genes and genetic expression; enhancing, halting, shaping, or altering the expression of genes, resulting in a phenotype that may differ markedly from the genotype.
🗑
|
||||
| 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.
🗑
|
||||
| Dominant-Recessive Pattern | show 🗑
|
||||
| Carrier | show 🗑
|
||||
| X-linked | show 🗑
|
||||
| Heritability | show 🗑
|
||||
| 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.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Consultation and testing by trained experts that enable individuals to learn about their genetic heritage, including harmful conditions that they might pass along to any children they may conceive.
🗑
|
||||
| show | A genetic disorder in which a child's body is unable to metabolize an amino acid called phenylalanine. Unless the infant immediately begins a special diet, the resulting buildup of phenylalanine in body fluids causes brain damage.
🗑

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.
