Genetics
Meiosis - cell division process similar to mitosis where the cell divides twice
Haploid - having only a single set of chromosomes
Diploid - having a doubled set of chromosomes
Heredity - transmission of characteristics from parent to offspring
Gamete - a mature sexual reproductive cell, as a sperm or egg, that unites with another cell to form a new organism
Punnett square - a table that shows the resulting genotypes that will occur when two other genotypes are crossed
Genotype - a combination of two alleles that determines the phenotype
Heterozygous - A genotype with one dominant and one recessive allele
Recessive - a type of allele that needs to be homozygous in order to produce its phenotype
Homozygous - a genotype with either both recessive or dominant alleles
Phenotype - the visual results that occur as an effect of the genotype
Incomplete dominance - when two different phenotypes are combined to produce a third phenotype
Codominance - the state of being one of two different alleles that are fully expressed in a heterozygous individual
Chromosomes - threads in the nucleus that contain genes
Gene - a unit of heredity inside the chromosomes that provides instructions to code protein synthesis
Allele - a form of a gene that is responsible for hereditary variation
Sex cells (gametes) cells that occur as a result of meiosis
Variation - different versions of the same thing
Sexual reproduction - when intercourse with gametes occurs and results in meiosis
Mutation - a problem that occurs within a gene or chromosome that causes an unusual and often undesirable outcome
Genetic diversity - variations in genetics among ecosystems and more closely related animal species
GMO - organism, usually plants, that are genetically modified to produce a desired outcome
