Unit 8 Voc Quiz

Heredity

• The passing of genetic traits from parent to offspring

• Different forms of a characteristic are passed down from parents.

• Different forms of the same gene, represented by a single letter (either capital or lowercase). Capital letter for dominant; recessive uses the same letter, but lowercase.

• Pieces or sequences of DNA made up of patterns of base pairs that determine specific traits. It takes 2 alleles to form a gene.

Trait

• Different forms of a characteristic are passed down from parents..

• Deoxyribonucleic acid. A complex molecule containing the genetic information that makes up the chromosomes.

• diagram that can be used to predict the genotype and phenotype combinations of a genetic cross

• a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell. Occurs in organisms that reproduce sexually.

DNA

• A complex molecule containing the genetic information that makes up the chromosomes. The "recipe" or genetic instructions for that organism, usually located in the nucleus.

• the trait more likely to appear; trait observed when at least one dominant allele for a characteristic is inherited

• A trait that is less likely to appear; trait observed only when two recessive alleles for the same characteristic are inherited.

• Different forms of a characteristic are passed down from parents.

Two different alleles for a trait; the dominant trait is observed. represented by one capital letter and a lowercase of the same letter

• heterozygous dominant

• homozygous dominant

• homozygous recessive

• recessive dominant

Both alleles (factors) for a trait are the same and recessive. Represented by two identical lowercase letters

• homozygous recessive

• homozygous dominant

• dominant recessive

• heterozygous
