Term
|
Definition
| the pair of matching DNA that contain instructions for every part of our body. |

Definition
| Alleles are protein responsible for hereditary traits. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the combined allele pair that are responsible for a specific trait. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the resulting effects of the Alleles on a certain trait. |

Term
|
Definition
| A grid that is used to show the gamete alleles and another parents gametes and the possible pairings between the parents. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Random segregation is the process which gametes are paired up and the resulting Phenotypes. |
|

Term
|
Definition
| Crossing over occurs during cell Meiosis. it is where the copies of the same Chromosomes swap alleles. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| is the idea that Alleles are not bound to each other and can be interchangeable. so alleles can be on the same Chromosome but not be linked to each other. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Meiosis is the process where cells replicate their chromosomes and then divide to contain only half the number of Chromosomes. these cells are used for makin babies. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the process of two gamete cells combining their 1N chromosomes to make enough chromosomes to make a baby. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| zygote are the first part of cell fertilization. at the point where a whole cell is created in an egg with the help of the other gamete, sperm, the egg becomes a zygote. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| this means a trait is automatically present if the allele is present. no matter the pairing. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Recessive traits are where the effect requires two alleles to be recessive in order to be present in a baby. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Homozygous is the allele combination with identical alleles in the same pair. such as EE or aa |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Heterozygous is the allele combination with two different alleles in the same pair. such as Ee or Aa |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| these traits are only present on the other 22 chromosomes that doesn't have to do with the gender chromosomes. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| these traits occur on the X chromosome that determines gender. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| this is where a trait is either present or absent. one way or another way. never a mix or blend. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Co-dominance is where a both variations of a trait are visible. so a combination of both ways. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| where the traits two variations are blended together in a new variation. |
