Q

Genotype

A

Genetic instructions inherited from parents at particular gene locus

26
Q

Recessive

A

trait that is only expressed in absence of allele for dominant trait

27
Q

Autosomes

A

Non-sex chromosomes

28
Q

Heterozygous

A

having two different alleles for characteristics

29
Q

Homozygous

A

having two identical alleles for characteristic in genotype

30
Q

Codominance

A

type of inheritance in which heterozygote shows expression of both alleles in phenotype

31
Q

Sex chromosomes

A

chromosomes that differ in males and females

32
Q

Inheritance

A

genetic transmission of characteristics from parents to offspring

33
Q

Genetics

A

study of inheritance

34
Q

Phenotype

A

characteristics that result from expression of organism’s genotype. Depends on both genotype and environment

35
Q

Alleles

A

alternative forms of gene for particular characteristic

36
Q

Dominant

A

Refers to trait that requires only one allele to be present for expression in heterozygous

37
Q

carrier

A

Person not showing recessive gene because in heterozygous for a characteristic

38
Q

incomplete dominance

A

Inheritance that heterozygote shows expression of two alleles in phenotype in blending of characteristics.

Q

cytokinesis

A

Process of dividing the cytoplasm

40
Q

diploid

A

Word used to describe chromosomes in pairs

41
Q

haploid

A

Word used to describe chromosomes in singles

42
Q

inheritance

A

Passing on of characteristics from generation to next

43
Q

dominant trait

A

If present it will always be expressed

44
Q

Recessive trait

A

only expressed when no dominant present

45
Q

Homozygous dominant

A

both alleles dominant

46
Q

Homozygous recessive

A

both alleles recessive

47
Q

Complete dominance

A

expression of one trait dominant over the other

48
Q

Carrier

A

refers to someone heterozygous for particular trait and carries allele for recessive trait

49
Q

Ions

A

atoms that have lost or gained electrons therefore have electric charge

50
