Chance
Probability
The amount of parents involved in asexual reproduction
1 parent
The amount of parents involved in sexual reproduction
2 parents
Smallest genetics in humans and plants. Found in the nucleus of cells and makes up genes.
DNA
You have two of these for each trait. They determine the type of trait you have for each characteristic
Allele
A group of numbers comparing 1 group to the total to find the probability of something. Uses a / between numbers
Fraction
An exact copy of 1 parent. Result of asexual reproduction
Clone
The male reproductive cell
Sperm cell
A stage in the line of descendants in someones family
Generation
Having two different alleles
Heterozygous/hybrid
A group of numbers comparing 1 group to another to find the probability of both things. Uses a : between numbers
Ratio
a thin stem that grows perpendicular to the ground, connecting to roots and upward branches. Happens in plants
Runner
The female reproductive cell
Egg cell
The non dominant allele
Recessive
Having a pair of the same type of alleles
Homozygous/purebred
A diagram for showing the likeliness of a combination of alleles
Punnet square
Cell division in which a cloned offspring cell of an asexual parent has the same genes and chromosomes as the parent and divides into two daughter cells
Mitosis
You get 23 these from each of your parents
Chromosomes
The allele type that shows over a recessive gene when there is at least one of them in a trait
Dominant
The characteristics of an organism you actually see
Phenotype
A change in a result or results/something that's different compared to another variable
Variation
form of asexual reproduction where an offspring develops from a part of the parent organisms body. Happens in plants
Budding
The process of a sperm cell fertilizing an egg cell
Conception/fertilization
The transmission of genes down generations
Heredity
