Genome | The whole of the genetic information of an organism |
Gene mutation | A change in the nucleotide sequence of a section of DNA, coding for a particular feature |
Homologous chromosomes | Chromosomes that share the same structural features(size, banding pattern, centromere position), and the same genes(alles may be different) at the same loci positions |
Gene | The allele combination of an organism |
Phenotype | The characteristics of an organism |
Dominant Allele | An allele that has the same effect on the phenotype whether it is present in the homozygous or heterozygous state |
Recessive Allele | An allele that only has an effect on the phenotype when present in the homozygous state |
Codominant Alleles | Pairs of alleles that both affect the phenotype when present in a heterozygote |
Locus | The particular position on homologous chromosomes of a gene |
Homozygous | Having two identical alleles of a gene |
Heterozygous | Having two different alleles of a gene |
Carrier | An individual that has one copy of a recessive allele that causes a genetic disease in individuals that are homozygous for this allele |
Test Cross | Testing a suspected heterozygote by crossing it with a known homozygous recessive |
Sex linkage | When a gene controlling a characteristic is found on a sex chromosome, and we associate the characteristic with gender |
Clone | A clone is a group of genetically identical organisms or a group of cells derived from a single parent cell |
