|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DNA fingerprinting | a test to identify and evaluate the genetic information-called DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)-in a person's cells.
🗑
|
||||
| true-breeding | when self-fertilized, only produces offspring with the same traits. The alleles for these type of plants are homozygous.
🗑
|
||||
| trait | a genetically determined characteristic.
🗑
|
||||
| hybrid | the offspring of two plants or animals of different species or varieties, such as a mule (a hybrid of a donkey and a horse).
🗑
|
||||
| gene | a unit of heredity that is transferred from a parent to offspring and is held to determine some characteristic of the offspring.
🗑
|
||||
| allele | one of two or more alternative forms of a gene that arise by mutation and are found at the same place on a chromosome.
🗑
|
||||
| segregation | the separation of pairs of alleles at meiosis and their independent transmission via separate gametes.
🗑
|
||||
| gamete | a mature haploid male or female germ cell that is able to unite with another of the opposite sex in sexual reproduction to form a zygote.
🗑
|
||||
| sex chromosome | a chromosome involved with determining the sex of an organism, typically one of two kinds.
🗑
|
||||
| codominance | a relationship between two versions of a gene. Individuals receive one version of a gene, called an allele, from each parent. If the alleles are different, the dominant allele will be expressed, while the effect of the other allele recessive, is masked.
🗑
|
||||
| multiple alleles | an allele of a genetic locus having more than two allelic forms within a population.
🗑
|
||||
| non disjunction | the failure of one or more pairs of homologous chromosomes or sister chromatids to separate normally during nuclear division, usually resulting in an abnormal distribution of chromosomes in the daughter nuclei.
🗑
|
||||
| autosome | any chromosome that is not a sex chromosome.
🗑
|
||||
| sex-linked gene | that is carried only by the male or female parent. Note : In humans, the gene for colorblindness is carried by the X-chromosome.
🗑
|
||||
| padigree | the record of descent of an animal, showing it to be purebred.
🗑
|
||||
| genetics | the study of heredity and the variation of inherited characteristics.
🗑

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.
