Question | Answer |
Punnet Square | Can be used to describe outocmes in offspring and the liklihood of each outcome. |
Sex linked genes | mutation is on the X-Chromosome. (hemophilia or color blindness) |
Chromosome | the rod-like compressed form of DNA in the nucleus |
Photosynthesis | Cell uses energy in chloroplasts to make food (glucose) |
Energy + H20 + C02 | =02 + F6H1202 |
Genetic Engineering | Genes are transferred from one organism into another; makes plants resistant to disease. |
Cytokinesis | Final stage of cell division where the cell membrane separates (pinching into two daughter cells. |
Cell wall | In plants, this is formed as a cell divides, in between the two new cells. |
Heredity | the passing of traits from parents to offspring. |
Gene | The basic unit of heredity; a piece of DNA on the chromosome |
Mendel | Father of genetics; he found that offspring of traits similar to their parents. |
Dominant Gene | Is the stronger trait of the pair. |
Recessive Gene | The weaker trait of a pair. |
Homozygous | 2 dominant genes (purebred) |
Heterozygous | 1 dominant and 1 recessive gene |
genotype | The actual gene for an organis (TT, Tt) |
Phenotype | The physical appearance of an organism (example blue eyes, freckles) |
Mitosis | body cells have 46 chromosomes, human egg and sperm have 23 cells each. |
allelle | The different forms of a gene, the alternating forms of a gene that governs a characteristic |
pedigree | A diagram that shows the occurrence of a genetic train in several generations of a family. |
Double helix | DNA is in the shape of a "twisted ladder" |
Watson and Crick | Built models to show the DNA structure (like the double helix). |
DNA reproduction | begins with one double helix, there are two when the process completes. |
