Q

insertion

27
Q

deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)

28
Q

inversion

A

gene segment is reinserted into its chromosome in reverse order. Error at chromosome level.

29
Q

Karyotype

A

A full set of an individual’s chromosomes

30
Q

law of independent assortment

A

The inheritance of Alleles for one trait does not affect the inheritance of alleles for another trait. (Mendel’s laws of heredity)

31
Q

law of segregation

A

Genes exist in two or more forms (alleles). We receive 1 allele from each parent randomly. The alleles of our parents separate during gamete formation and are randomly given to us (Mendel’s laws of heredity)

32
Q

meiosis

33
Q

mitosis

34
Q

monohybrid

A

Organism with homozygous genotypes

35
Q

mutation

36
Q

Nitrogenous Bases

A

Thymene, Adenine, Cytosene, Guanine

37
Q

non-disjunction

A

Chromosomes don’t separate during either DNA phase, causing one more or less chromosomes in a Karyotype. Error in Meiosis.

38
Q

nuclein

A

Compound that makes up DNA

39
Q

oogenesis

A

the creation of egg cells

40
Q

oogonium

A

diploid female germ cell

41
Q

Pentose Sugar

42
Q

Phenotype

A

An individual observable traits (both genotype and envionm)

43
Q

Phosphate Group

44
Q

polar bodies

A

infertile small egg cells, three for every oogonium.

45
Q

primary oocyte

A

large fertile egg cell

46
Q

probability

47
Q

Punnett square

A

Predicts outcome of a genetic cross. Dominant alleles code for a working protein while recessive genes do not. Shows probabilities of genetic (phenotypical and genotypical) presentations.

48
Q

purines

49
Q

pyrimidines

50
Q

recessive

51
Q

sex-influenced

A

Sex influenced traits appear differently in both sexes. e.g. xxbb = female slight-balding, xybb - male full balding, Bbxx - etc.

52
Q

sex-limited

A

Sex Limited traits are only expressed in one sex

53
Q

sex-linked

A

Thomas morgan studied fruit flies and determined some traits only exist on the X chromosome.

54
Q

sexual reproduction

A

Makes not genetically identical offspring
formed by z haploid gametes
meiosis forms gametes
four haploid cells are produced

55
Q

sister chromatid

56
Q

somatic cells

57
Q

spermatogenesis

A

the creation of identically sized sperm cells

58
Q

synapsis

59
Q

telomere

60
Q

test cross

61
Q

tetrad

A

A group of two double chromosomes during meiosis

62
Q

trait

A

distinguishing characteristicf a species or organism

63
Q

trisomy

64
Q

zygotes
