Sexual Reproduction
Cell division that results in gametes (egg and sperm)
Meiosis
This gene hides the other gene and is shown with a big letter.
Dominant
What does DNA stand for? :)
Deoxyribonucleic acid (close pronunciation is fine)
Who's the dead guy with the peas who figured out traits/genes?
This cell division makes body cells
Mitosis
How many cells are the result of meiosis?
4
This gene only shows up if there are no dominant genes, they are shown by small letter.
Recessive
What are the four letters for writing genetic code?
A, T, C, G
What do you call a family tree with traits? We talk about them with dogs.
Pedigree
This animal eats only meat
Carnivore
Does meiosis make identical cells? True or false.
False
This is the visual part of the gene - the trait we can see
PHENOtype
What does DNA tell your body to make?
Proteins
What do we call an error in genetic code?
Mutation
This is what plants do for energy
Photosynthesis
What are the two beginning cells, diploid or haploid?
Diploid
This is the code of the trait, the letters
GENOtype
What are the building blocks of DNA?
Nucleotides
We use these boxes to figure out how traits are passed down
Punnett Square
This is where proteins are made
Ribosomes
What phase do the chromosomes line up in the middle?
Metaphase
If you cross Bb with BB, what percent of children will be homozygous recessive?
0%
What shape is DNA?
Double helix
If you are XX, who were the two people you got an X from?
Mom and dad
This is the cell's command center
Nucleus
