What are alleles?
Different forms of each gene
What is punnet square?
It makes a prediction about genetics in the form of a square
what is genetics
the study of heredity
What are the complementary bases?
A-T and C-G
What is a centromere?
The center of the chromosome where the two chromatids meet.
What is DNA?
the genetic makeup of an organism
what is mitosis?
The process when cells replicate for growth and repair and complete with two daughter cells.
What is the order of phases in mitosis?
IPMAT-C
what is a double helix?
The shape of the DNA molecules.
Why is replication important?
It is what DNA must do to continue life.
What are dominant alleles?
The allele that overtakes the recessive allele
What is genotype?
The genetic makeup of an organism.
what is a karyotype?
what is an example of a phenotype?
Black hair, brown hair or brown eyes, blue eyes etc.
what is the nucleusl
you will find the genetic information in what part of the cel
What are recessive alleles?

What is a gene?
The part of a DNA code and chromosomes
what does sugar, phosphate and nitrogenous bases form?
A nucleotide.
what does the nitrogenous base do?
Three bases come together and code for a specific amino acid.
What is heterozygous?
When the genotype is different to eachother. Eg. Bb, Dd, Aa.
What is genetics?
The study of traits passing from parents to offspring
What is the difference between sexual and asexual?
Asexual requires one parent, sexual requires two parent organisms.
What do 2 lowercase letters mean?
It means the allele shows up as recessive
What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis?
Daughter cells are identical to parent cells in mitosis, and in meiosis the daughter cells are all genetically different to the parents and to each other.
How would you describe BB and Bb?
The homozygous and heterozygous genotypes for dominant allelles using B's.
