Reproduction
A form of reproduction that involves only one parent.
What is asexual reproduction?
A different form of the same gene. (2 of these make up one gene.)
What is allele?
One whose trait always shows up in the organism.
What is dominant allele?
The process of cell division that forms somatic cells.
Mitosis
Where a gene is located.
What is chromosomes?
A form of reproduction that requires two parents.
What is sexual reproduction?
When 2 alleles are present, but one allele completely masks the other.
What is complete dominance?
The expression of an organism's genes. (What you see.)
What is phenotype?
The process of cell division that forms gametes.
What is Meiosis?
The amount of chromosomes passed from each parent.
What is 23?
A form of asexual reproduction when a new animal grows out from the parent until it fully matures and breaks off.
What is budding?
When an offspring expresses a mixture of dominant and recessive alleles.
What is incomplete dominance?
The genetic makeup, or combination of alleles.
What is genotype?
The step specific to meiosis.
What is crossing over?
Threadlike strands of genetic material (DNA) that have condensed and wrapped themselves tightly.
What is chromosomes?
Sexual reproduction involves an egg cell and sperm cell joining to form new cell in this process.
What is fertilization?
When an offspring expresses both dominant and recessive alleles at the same time.
What is codominance?
A tool used to determine the probability of inheriting alleles.
What is Punnett Square?
The process of cell division that forms 2 daughter cells.
What is mitosis?
Daughter cells containing a single set of unpaired chromosomes. (Half the genetic material.)
What are sister chromatids?
A sequence of DNA that determines a trait and is passed from parent to offspring.
What is a gene?
When different genes are expressed together to produce a single trait.
What is polygenic inheritance?
A tool used to show inheritance of traits over generations.
What is a pedigree?
The process of cell division that forms 2 diploid cells, and then 4 haploid daughter cells.
What is meiosis?
A pair of replicated chromosomes that form before division occurs.
What is sister chromatids?
