Question
Answer
the process of intentionally interfering with the breeding process to encourage certain traits over others   artificial selection  
🗑
the structure in the cell nucleus that houses a cell's genetic information   chromosomes  
🗑
these are organisms that come from the same cell and are genetically identical to each other   clones  
🗑
a type of heredity where two dominant alleles are equally expressed in phenotype   codominance  
🗑
the inability to perceive differences between some or all hues that other people can distinguish, most of the time it is due to genetics   colorblindness  
🗑
the process in which chromosomes exchange DNA during the prophase of meiosis   crossing over  
🗑
an autosomal recessive diserase that affects the respiratory & digestive systems, mucus in lungs   cystic fibrosis  
🗑
a genetic mutation caused by the loss of a chromosomal segment   deletion  
🗑
the inheritance of alleles of two genes from two different parents   di-hybrid cross  
🗑
a technique used to distinguish between individuals using samples of DNA   DNA fingerprinting  
🗑
an observable trait or an organism that can mask the recessive trait   dominant  
🗑
the process of seperating DNA fragmanets by using an electric field & a fluorescent dye   electrophoresis  
🗑
a genetic mutation caused by the insertion or deletion of one or more nucleotides that change the amino acid sequence from the site of the mutation foreward   frameshift  
🗑
a segment of DNA on the chromosome that is coded for a particular trait   gene  
🗑
this is the insertion of genes into an individuals tissues to treat a disease, hereditary diseases in particular   gene thera[py  
🗑
these are inherited diseases that cause a negative, abnormal physical effect   genetic disorder  
🗑
one result of gamete formation through meiosis and fertilization during sexual reproduction that promotes biodiversity within a species   genetic variation  
🗑
the genetic makeup of an organism   genotype  
🗑
a genetic disorder that impairs bloods ability to clot   hemophilia  
🗑
the transfer of characteristics from parent to offspring   heredity  
🗑
this is an organism that has two different alleles for a trait   heterozygous  
🗑
two same alleles   homozygous  
🗑
mapped all genes in human genome   human genome profect  
🗑
offspring between parents with different traits   hybrid  
🗑
alternative form of a gene   allele  
🗑
a person who shows no symptoms of a disease but carriees the disease causing agent & is capable of passing it to others   carrier  
🗑
an organism or cell with two sets of chromosomes   diploid  
🗑
process of manipulation the DNA code of different dpliving organsims   genetic engineering  
🗑
a cell or organism having 1/2 of the diploid chromosome number, symbolized by "N'   haploid  
🗑
a chart or family tree that tracks which memebers of a family have a particular trait   pedigree  
🗑
the process of selecting organisms with desired traits to be parents of the next generation   selective breeding  
🗑
a picture of all the human chromosomes in a cell grouped together in pairs and arranged in order of decreasing size   karyotype  
🗑
a selective breeding method in which 2 individuals with similar set of alleles are crossed   inbreeding  
🗑
a selective breeding method that involves crossing different individuals to bring together the best traits from each parents   hybridization  
🗑
a complete set of genetic information that an organism carries in its DNA   genome  
🗑


   

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.
