🗑
A biological catalyst which is fixed to an inert material by chemical or physical means   Immobilised Enzyme  
🗑
The genetic make-up of an individual   Genotype  
🗑
The passing on of traits from parent to offspring by means of genes   Heredity  
🗑
Genes located on the same chromosome ( are said to be linked)   Linkage  
🗑
Manipulation or alteration of genes   Genetic Engineering  
🗑
Having one set of chromosomes   Haploid number  
🗑
During gamete formation each member of a pair of alleles may combine randomly with either of another pair   Mendel's 2nd Law the law of independent assortment  
🗑

🗑


   

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.
