Frage | Antworten |
Heredity | The Passing of traits from parents to offspring |
Genetics | the branch of biology dealing with heredity and the variation of inherited characteristics |
Gene | A segment of a DNA molecule that codes for a particular trait; Found at a specific location on a chormosome |
Locus | The location of a gene on a chromosome |
Polyploid | Having more than two sets of chromosomes; many plants are polyploids |
Asexual Reproduction | The production of offspring from a single parent; the genetic makeup of the offspring is identical to that of the parent |
Sexual Reproduction | The production of offspring from the fusion of two sex cells |
Fragmentation | A method of asexual reproduction in which a piece or body fragment of the parent organism develops into a mature individual |
Mitosis | The process by which a eukaryotic cell divides the genetic material in its nucleus |
Interphase | The portion of the cell cycle between mitosis divisions when the genetic material (in the form of chromatin) is duplicated |
Chromatin | The tangled strands of DNA and protein within a eukaryotic nucleus |
Cytokinesis | the process in which a eukaryotic cell divides its cytoplasm into two new daughter cells |
Cloning | The process of produciong |
Sister Chromatid | The identical copy of a single chromosome that remains attached to the original chromosome at the centromere |
Cytokinesis | The process in which a eukaryotic cell divides its cytoplasm into two new daughter cells |
Cloning | The process of producing one individual that is genetically identical to another, using a single cell or tissue |
Biotechnology | The use and modification of organisms for application in engineering, industry, and medicine |
Genetically Modified Organism | An organism in which the genetic material has been altered using genetic engineered techniques |
Gamete | A sex cell; includes sperm cells in males and egg cells in females |
Fertilization | The formation of zygote by the joining together, or fusion, of two gametes |
Zygote | A cell produced by the fusion of two gametes |
Ova | female sex cells (eggs cells) |
Meiosis | A two-stage cell division in which the resulting daughter cells have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell; results in the formation of gametes or spores |
Homologous Chromosomes | Matching pairs of chromosomes, similar in size and carrying information for the same genes |
Tetrad | a pair of homologous chromosomes, each with two sister chromatids |
Synapsis | The physical pairing up of homologous chromosomes during prophase 1 of meiosis |
Crossing over | The exchange of chromosome segments between homologous pairs during synapsis |
Gametogenesis | The production of gametes (sex cells) in animals |
Spermatogenesis | The production of mature sperm cells |
Oogenesis | The production of mature egg cells |
Karyotype | The chromosomes of an individual that have been sorted and arranged according to size and type |
Sex Chromosomes | Chromosomes that differ in males and females of the same species; the combination of sex chromosomes determines the sex of the offspring |
Autosomes | NOn-sex Chromosomes |
