overall Flashcards
sperm cells/ egg cells
23 chromosomes
somatic / body cells
46 chromosomes 23 pairs
dominant charactistics
the chartists that can be observed the appearance of the individual
genes
are sections of DNA
recessive charactistic
the charoctistsis that does not appear unless recessive alleles combine eg ff rr (small letters)
alleles
variation of genes
homologous structures
same basic structures
similar structures
common ancestor
bases in DNA
adenine A
thymine T
guanine G
cytosine C
form rings of rope ladder
evolution
genetic changes in characterists over many generations
natural selection
overproduction
variation
competition
selection
Charles Darwin
theory of natural selection tortoises, finches
natural selection
process where organisms best adapted to an environment will survive. black moth
heterozygous
heterozygus
dominant and recessive allele present eg Hh
homozygous
homozygote
both allies the same
HH or hh
