Term
Definition
Allele   one of two or more forms of a gene that are made by mutation and are found at the same place on a chromosome.  
🗑
autosome   any chromosome that is not a sex chromosome.  
🗑
Codominance   Relationship between two versions of a cell  
🗑
dihybrid   a hybrid that is heterozygous for alleles of two different genes.  
🗑
dominate alele   an allele that produces the same phenotype whether its paired allele is identical or different  
🗑
genotype   the genetic makeup of an individual organism.  
🗑
hetrozygous   a pair of genes where one is dominant and one is recessive  
🗑
homozygous   a pair of matching alleles, which are the two genes that control a particular trait  
🗑
monohybrid   a hybrid that is heterozygous with respect to a specified gene.  
🗑
multiple allele   an allele of a genetic locus having more than two allelic forms within a population.  
🗑
phenotype   the set of observable characteristics of an individual resulting from the interaction of its genotype with the environment.  
🗑
punnet square   The Punnett square is a diagram that is used to predict an outcome of a particular cross or breeding experiment  
🗑
recessive allele   n an allele that produces its characteristic phenotype only when its paired allele is identical  
🗑
sex chromozone   A type of chromosome in the genome that is involved in the determination of the sex as well as the development of sexual characteristics in an organism.  
🗑
sex-linked trait   A trait associated with a gene that is carried only by the male or female parent.  
🗑
test cross   It is a mating in which an individual showing a dominant phenotype is crossed with an individual showing its recessive phenotype.  
🗑
apoptosis   a genetically regulated process leading to the death of cells and triggered by the presence or absence of certain stimuli,  
🗑
cell cycle   The cell cycle or cell-division cycle is the series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication that makes two daughter cells  
🗑
centreole   divides in perpendicular fashion during mitosis  
🗑
chromere   One of the serially aligned beadlike granules of concentrated chromatin that constitutes a chromosome during the early phases of cell division.  
🗑
chromatin   the readily stainable substance of a cell nucleus, consisting of DNA, RNA, and various proteins, that forms chromosomes during cell division.  
🗑
chromosone   Chromosomes are the things that make organisms what they are  
🗑
crossing-over   A process occurring during meiosis wherein two chromosomes pair up and exchange segments of their genetic material.  
🗑
cytokinesis   the physical process of cell division  
🗑
diploid 2n chromosome number   Having two sets of chromosomes or double the haploid number of chromosomes  
🗑
gamete   Gametes are the cells used during sexual reproduction to produce a new individual organism or zygote  
🗑
haploid n chromosome number   Biology. pertaining to a single set of chromosomes.  
🗑
homologous chromosone   a chromosome with the same gene sequence as another  
🗑
meiosis   Meiosis is the process by which the nucleus divides in all sexually reproducing organisms during the production of spores or gametes.  
🗑
mitosis   The process where a single cell divides resulting in generally two identical cells, each containing the same number of chromosomes and genetic content as that of the original cell.  
🗑
somatic cell   one of the cells that take part in the formation of the body  
🗑
synapsis   the pairing of two homologous chromosomes that occurs during meiosis.  
🗑


   

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.
