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) |

|---|---|---|
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 |

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. |
