Order of Fish
Order of fish where fish have barbels, dorsal and pectoral spines, and are typically long bodied and scaleless. Examples include many species of catfish.
Siluriformes
A group of similar organisms that can breed and produce fertile offspring.
Species
group of closely related species; the first part of the scientific name in binomial nomenclature
Genus
An organism with both alleles for a gene (Tt)
Heterozygous
The trait that will always show up when the allele is present (GG)
Dominant
Order of fish that are strong swimmers, have streamlined symmetrical bodies, covered in smooth cycloid scales, and include trout and salmon
Salmoniformes
Most inclusive taxonomic category; larger than a kingdom
Domain
Comes between Class and Family in the classification system
Order
The trait that will only appear then there are no dominant alleles present.
Recessive
The actual GENETIC make-up of a living thing
Genotype
Order of fish with scaleless head, toothless mouth, typically missing an adipose fin and includes nearly 3000 species including carp and minnows
Cypriniformes
First and largest category used to classify organisms after Domain
Kingdom
In classification, this comes between Kingdom and Class
Phylum
An organism with matching alleles for a gene, either dominant or recessive. (GG, gg)
Homozygous
What the genes allow the individual to LOOK LIKE
Phenotype
This order of fish has a wide variety of species but all are boney, ray-finned fish including mackerel, cichlids, and swordfish.
Perciformes
This order of fish includes sturgeon and paddlefish. Characteristics include a cartilaginous notochord with bony head and some have armoured plates.
Acipenseriformes
In classification, this comes between Phylum and Order
Class
Form of a gene; half
The passing of traits from parent to offspring
Heredity
This order of fish usually have teeth as they are carnivorous, adipose fin, and well defined scales such as piranhas and tetras.
Characiformes
This order includes milk fish and actually have a row of teeth on their gills to allow them to eat small crustaceans.
Gonorynchiformes
Comes between Order and Genus in the classification system
Family
If 2 heterozygous parents were crossed, what percent of offspring would be homozygous recessive?
25%
