Draggable itemarrow_right_altCorresponding Item

sister chromatids

arrow_right_alt

DNA segments that serve as the key functional units in hereditary transmission.

Genes

arrow_right_alt

different versions of a gene

Alleles

arrow_right_alt

Pair of chromosomes that are the same size, same appearance and same genes.

homologous chromosomes

arrow_right_alt

Identical copies of a chromosome; full sets of these are created during the S phase of interphase.

Genotype

arrow_right_alt

A cross between two individuals, concentrating on two definable traits

Phenotype

arrow_right_alt

A cross between individuals that involves one pair of contrasting traits

Punnett Square

arrow_right_alt

An organism's physical appearance, or visible traits. (what it looks like)

dihybrid cross

arrow_right_alt

diagram showing the gene combinations that might result from a genetic cross

monohybrid cross

arrow_right_alt

An organism's genetic makeup, or allele combinations. (letters)

3.
Draggable itemarrow_right_altCorresponding Item

Recessive

arrow_right_alt

Having two identical alleles for a particular gene

Heterozygous

arrow_right_alt

Describes a trait that is covered over, or dominated, by another form of that trait.

Homozygous

arrow_right_alt

Describes a trait that covers over, or dominates, another form of that trait. (Always expressed)

carrier

arrow_right_alt

An organism that has two different alleles for a trait

Dominant

arrow_right_alt

A person whose genotype includes a gene that is not expressed in the phenotype.

Haploid

arrow_right_alt

the number and visual appearance of the chromosomes in the cell nuclei of an organism

Diploid

arrow_right_alt

having a single set of unpaired chromosomes

Pedigree

arrow_right_alt

containing two complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent.

Karyotype

arrow_right_alt

A chart or "family tree" that tracks which members of a family have a particular trait

5.
Draggable itemarrow_right_altCorresponding Item

Fertilization

arrow_right_alt

A condition in which both alleles for a gene are fully expressed

asexual reproduction

arrow_right_alt

A pattern of inheritance in which two alleles, inherited from the parents, are neither dominant nor recessive. The resulting offspring have a phenotype that is a blending of the parental traits. (blend)

sexual reproduction

arrow_right_alt

Fusion of an egg and sperm cell

incomplete dominance

arrow_right_alt

A reproductive process that involves two parents that combine their genetic material to produce a new organism, which differs from both parents

Codominance

arrow_right_alt

A reproductive process that involves only one parent and produces offspring that are identical to the parent.
