Genes
Contains 2 different genes for the same trait
Heterozygous
Contains 2 identical genes for the same trait
Homozygous
Location of a gene on the chromosome
Allele
Genetic classification of a gene
Genotype
The gene that is overshadowed by a dominant gene
Recessive
Recessive genes attached to the x and Y chromosomes
Sex-linked
Dramatically different from what is expected genetically
Mutation

Upgrading
Both genes express themselves
Incomplete dominance

Follicle
Attached to the endometrial lining of the uterus by tons of tiny villi; transfers blood, oxygen, and nutrition to the unborn baby
Placenta
Seals to prevent bacteria from entering reproductive tract
Cervix
External opening of the reproductive and urinary systems
Vulva
Two shell membranes are added here to the yolk and white in poultry
Isthmus
Site of fertilization
Fallopian tubes
Receives the sperm during mating
Vagina
Secrete the hormone estrogen; produces eggs or ova in females
Ovaries
The sensory and erectile organ of the female; located just inside the vulva
Clitoris
Long, coiled tube that is connected to each testicle, sperm cells are stored here while they mature
Epididymis
Both testicles do not descend from body cavity
Ridgling
The tube that carries urine from the bladder
Urethra
Heat regulating sac that holds the testes
Scrotum
One testicle does not descend from the body cavity
Cryptorchid
Divides the two sacs of the scrotum
Septum
Produces a fluid that moves down the urethra ahead of the seminal fluid and cleans and neutralizes the urethra
Semen
Deposits the semen with in the female reproductive tract
Penis
