Biology
Genome
the haploid set of chromosomes in a gamete or microorganism, or in each cell of a multicellular organism
Chromosome
Gene
a threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes.
a threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes.
Proteins
any of a class of nitrogenous organic compounds that consist of large molecules composed of one or more long chains of amino acids and are an essential part of all living organisms, especially as structural components of body tissues such as muscle, hair, collagen, etc., and as enzymes and antibodies.
Traits
A trait is something where you can describe something as one of its own and it can describe itself and describes the one thing that you are describing
Genotypes
Phenotypes
the set of observable characteristics of an individual resulting from the interaction of its genotype with the environment.
the genetic constitution of an individual organism.
Alleles
one of two or more alternative forms of a gene that arise by mutation and are found at the same place on a chromosome.
Dominant
the part of the gene that will always override the recessive - noted by a Capital letter
Recessive
the part of the gene that is part of the gene but is only carried and not seen - noted by a lowercase letter
Mutations
a sudden change to a gene or a chromosomes
Harmful
the mutation causes disease or alters the genes and is passed on
Neutral
the mutation does not benefit nor hurt the gene, it exist and is passed on but does not interfere
Beneficial
the mutation can help the species to pass onto to protect themselves and or improve their wellfare
Homozygous
an allele that has two of the same genes. either two dominant genes or two recessive genes ( 2 capital letters or 2 lowercase letters)
Heterozygous
an allele that has a dominant gene with a recessive gene. ( a capital letter with a lowercase letter)
Punnett Square
Codominant
Chart of dominant genes and recessive genes of parents to determine alleles of offspring
both dominant Alleles are present
Variation
Adapation
any alteration in the structure or function of an organism or any of its parts that results from natural selection and by which the organism becomes better fitted to survive and multiply in its environment. a form or structure modified to fit a changed environment.
a change or difference in condition, amount, or level, typically with certain limits.
Asexual Reproduction
Sexual Reproduction
the production of new living organisms by combining genetic information from two individuals of different types (sexes). In most higher organisms, one sex (male) produces a small motile gamete which travels to fuse with a larger stationary gamete produced by the other (female).
Asexual reproduction definition, reproduction, as budding, fission, or spore formation, not involving the union of gametes.

Advantage
Disadvantage
Allows species to have a greater number of offspring and to spread in a short amount of time Don't need time to spend with a mate, offspring inherits genes form only one parent and they are not unique or have different variations
Genes may be damaged,passed on, total colony could be wiped out
Advantage
Disadvantage
Reproduction through sexual means is uncertain,It takes time and energy to find a mate and reproduce Favorable genetics might not be passed to the offspring. ...Fewer offspring are typically produced It can be deadly.
Don't need to spend time finding a mate, offspring inherits genes from only one parent and they are not unique or have different variations
