on it to display the answer.

|
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| asexual reproduction | involves one parent, offspring is a CLONE of the parent, NO GENETIC VARIATION therefore decreases the chances of survival of the individual and the species
🗑
|
||||
| bond | chemical link that holds molecules together, when broken, energy is released, when formed, energy is stored
🗑
|
||||
| chromosome | threadlike structure that contains DNA, found in the nucleus
🗑
|
||||
| clone | organism that is genetically identical to the organism from which it was produced
🗑
|
||||
| DNA | material found in all organisms, contains genetic information about the organism, provides instructions for the building of proteins
🗑
|
||||
| egg | gamete (sex cell) of a female, produced in the ovaries, involved in sexual reproduction, contains half the complete set of genetic information, haploid (monoploid) (n)
🗑
|
||||
| expressed | when a gene is "turned on" the trait is seen
🗑
|
||||
| genes | segment of DNA, contains instructions for a specific trait
🗑
|
||||
| genetic engineering | when gene(s) is(are) inserted into the complete set of DNA of another organism EX: Human gene for insulin/growth hormone and bacterial DNA
🗑
|
||||
| genetics recombination | formation of a new combination of genes during sexual reproduction
🗑
|
||||
| heredity | passing of traits from parent to offspring
🗑
|
||||
| mutation | an alteration to the DNA sequence. May have a positive, negative or no effect on the organism
🗑
|
||||
| replicate | to copy
🗑
|
||||
| selective breeding | process of choosing organisms with desirable traits to serve as the parents of the next generation. EX: dog breeding and race horses
🗑
|
||||
| sexual reprodcution | two parents are involved, offspring has genetic variation, increases chances of survival of the individual and the species
🗑
|
||||
| sperm | gamete (sex cells) of a male, produced in the testes, involved in sexual reproduction, motile, carries half of the complete set of DNA, monoploid (haploid) (n)
🗑
|
||||
| nucleotide | section of DNA that contains a sugar, phosphate and nitrogeneous base
🗑
|
||||
| template | pattern for a new molecule. EX: one strand of DNA during DNA replication
🗑
|
||||
| trait | characteristic that is passed from parent to offspring through genes
🗑

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.
