Genetics
The physical feature produced by genetic codes
Phenotype
These lack organelles
A single celled organism
The male sperm of a plant
Pollen
male gonads
Testes
This organelle is much larger in plant cells
Vacuoles
The combination of alleles from our parents that makes up your genetic code
Genotype
The greatest number of organizes in the world
Bacteria
A specialized cell found in the growing area of the plant.
Meristem cell
Female Gonads
Ovaries
The law of Dominance and Uniformity
The law of Segregation
The law of of Independent Assortment
Mendel Laws
producing offspring with desired characteristics by using parents with these traits
Selective Breeding
When these cells mature they take on a characteristic color – black, yellow, blue, red.
Spores
A branch of the parent plant is bent down onto the ground and covered with soil.
Layering
These link a pair of sister chromatids together during cell division.
Centromere
The grandfather of modern genetics
Gregor Mendel
21st pair
A small piece breaks away from the main mass of hyphae and grows into a new individual.
Fragmentation
This is the process by which identical offspring are produced from a single cell of tissue.
Cloning
When two eggs are fertilized by two sperm at approximately the same time.
Fraternal twins
Francis Crick and James Watson are credited with making this incredible discovery in the field of Genetics
Double Helix Structure
A rare mutation where a parent passes on an extra X chromosome
Klinefelter Syndrome
The bodies of these organisms are composed of many thin filaments called hyphae.
Fungi
A few cells from a particular plant are grown in a specialized solution in the laboratory.
Tissue culture
When a single Zygote splits and dorms into two embryos formed
Identical Twins
This person discovered that women who receive X-rays during pregnancy have a higher chance of giving birth to a baby with Down syndrome and other chromosomal abnormalities.
