Genetics

the study of heredity and the variation of inherited characteristics.

100

segregation

separate 

100

phenotype

the physical and psychological characteristics of an organism from both genetics and environment

100

Codominance

a relationship between two versions of a gene.

100

zygote

a diploid cell resulting from the fusion of two haploid gametes; a fertilized ovum.

 


200

trait

a trait or character is a feature of an organism.

200

gamete

 the cells used during sexual reproduction to produce a new individual organism or zygote.

200

genotype

Genotype is the collection of genes responsible for the various genetic traits of a given organism.

200

multiple alleles

Three or more alternative forms of a gene (alleles) that can occupy the same locus.

200

offspring

offspring are the young born of living organisms, produced either by a single organism or, in the case of sexual reproduction, two organisms.

300

hybrid

a hybrid is the offspring resulting from combining the qualities of two organisms of different breeds, varieties, species or genera through sexual reproduction.

300

probability

 theoretical probability can be used to calculate the likelihood that offspring will be a certain sex, or that offspring will inherit a certain trait or disease if all outcomes are equally possible.

300

punnett square

The Punnett square is a square diagram that is used to predict the genotypes of a particular cross or breeding experiment

300

polygenic trait

one whose phenotype is influenced by more than one gene.

300

blood type

A, B, AB, and O. Blood types are based on the presence or absence of specific antigens on red blood cells.

400

Gene

A gene is the fundamental, physical, and functional unit of heredity.

400

Homozygous

homozygous dominant, if it carries two copies of the same dominant allele, or homozygous recessive, if it carries two copies of the same recessive allele.

400

Independent

Assortment

formation of random combinations of chromosomes in meiosis

400

Homologous

Chromosomes

 a set of one maternal and one paternal chromosome that pair up with each other inside a cell during meiosis.

400

Meiosis

In biology, meiosis is the process by which one diploid eukaryotic cell divides to generate four haploid cells often called gametes.

500

Allele

An allele is one of the possible forms of a gene. Most genes have two alleles, a dominant allele and a recessive allele. 

500

Heterozygous

In diploid organisms, heterozygous refers to an individual having two different alleles for a specific trait. 

500

Incomplete Dominance

Incomplete dominance is a form of intermediate inheritance in which one allele for a specific trait is not completely expressed over its paired allele.

500

diploid

(of a cell or nucleus) containing two complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent.
