Human Genetics & Genetic Technology

A chart or family tree that tracks which members of a family have a particular trait or disease.

• Carrier
• Karyotype
• Pedigree
• Genome

The transfer of a gene from the DNA of one organism into another organism in order to produce an organism with desired traits.

• Genetic Engineering
• Karyotype
• Pedigree
• Genome

A picture of all the chromosomes in a cell arranged in pairs

• Pedigree
• Karyotype
• Genome
• Carrier

ALL the DNA in one cell of an organism

• Karyotype
• Mutation
• Pedigree
• Genome

An organism that is genetically identical to the organism from which it was produced.

• Clone

• Selective Breeding

The insertion of working copies of a gene into the cells of a person with a genetic disorder in an attempt to correct the disorder.

• Karyotype

• Mutation
• Multiple Alleles

The process of selecting a few organisms with desired traits to serve as parents of the next generation.

• Gene Therapy
• Genome
• Selective Breeding
• Pedigree

A selective breeding technique where two genetically Different individuals are crossed.
