Term
Definition
Asexual Reproduction   reproduction by one parent and the offspring is almost identical to parent  
🗑
hybrid   an offspring that has one recessive and one dominant allele  
🗑
fertilization   process where a male gamete joins a female gamete to produce a new organism  
🗑
DNA   the genetic material for all living things  
🗑
mitosis   the 2nd stage of cell cycle, nucleus divides and genetic info is shared  
🗑
codominant   when two alleles are both expressed  
🗑
incomplete dominance   the dominant allele is only partly expressed  
🗑
mutation   any change in a genome or chromosome  
🗑
allele   one form of a gene for a trait  
🗑
sexual reproduction   reproduction where each parent passes on traits to their offspring  
🗑
interphase   1st phase of cell cycle, chromosomes copy one another  
🗑
cytokineses   3rd stage in cell cycle, two new daughter cells are formed  
🗑
Gregor Mendel   Father of genetics  
🗑
ribosomes   where protein is made in a cell  
🗑
dominant   will be expressed when paired with a recessive gene  
🗑
recessive   will only be expressed if paired with another recessive gene  
🗑
Reasons to study DNA   help solve crime helps doctors and scientists to treat diseases and illnesses may help identify and correct diseases before they are expressed  
🗑
Punnett Square   a diagram that can help predict the genotype of an offspring  
🗑
genotype   the pair of alleles that make the trait (Tt)  
🗑
phenotype   the trait that is physically shown (tall)  
🗑
meoisis   process that produces gametes (egg/sperm)  
🗑
location of DNA   located in the chromosomes inside the nucleus  
🗑
DNA   shaped like a double helix (twisted ladder) unique to each person just like a fingerprint genetic material of all living things  
🗑
replication   process used when cells copy DNA  
🗑
benefits of mutations   stronger animals plants resistent to disease cows producing more milk larger fruit/vegetables  
🗑
stages of the cell cycle   interphase mitosis cytokinesis  
🗑


   

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.
