Genetics: Study of heredity.
Gene: A strand that is is transferred to an offspring.
Chromosomes: are a pair that contain protein and 23 pairs making up 46 together.
Allele: these are found in chromosomes.
recessive: Alleles that are small and are a shadow of the dominant.
Phenotype: The physical appearance of the offspring.
Genotype: The letter or trait of the new offspring shared by parents.
Dominant: Alleles that are expressed more than recessive alleles.
Punnett square: A chart where we can determine the offspring.
Heterozygous: When two alleles are different. (Ex. Aa)
Incomplete dominance: When a parents alleles are mixed and are not expressed onto the offspring.
Codominance: When both parents traits are expressed on the offspring. (Ex. RW)
Homozygous: When two pair of alleles are the same. (Ex. AA or aa)
heredity: inheritance of physical or mentality.
GMO:Genetically Modified Organism. (self explanatory)
Sexual reproduction: when two organisms get together and make another organism within.
Sex cells: There are only two types of cells, the ova egg cells from the female and sperm from the male.
Gamete: Sex cells
Meiosis: The process where a cell divides creating daughter cells from our sex cells.
Haploid: cells that contain one set of chromosomes and go through the meiosis phase.
Diploid: Cells that contain two pairs of chromosomes and go through the mitosis process.
Genetic diversity: when a gene has many ranges of characteristics that makes up that certain species.
Variation: There's always a limit of what an offspring can look like.
Mutation: When a sequence goes wrong in a DNA strand.
