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
