Observable traits or physical characteristics
Phenotype
The genetic transmission of characteristics from parent to child
Heredity
The unit which directs the structure in behavior of living things are composed of DNA
Gene
When you cross homozygous recessive and homozygous dominant and the heterozygous genotype results in a blend between the two traits
Incomplete dominance
The genetic makeup of an organism
Genotype
Having two of the same alleles for the same trait AA or aa
Homozygous
Breeding a male and a female to see the offspring
Cross
This type of reproduction has little variation in the offspring because all of the DNA comes from one parent.
Asexual
Special sex cells which contain have the number of chromosomes that are found in the rest of the body cells.
Idk
Children
Offspring
A gene that will only be expressed if there are two of them because it is the weaker of the two alleles
Recessive
Acdifferent forms of the same gene
Allele
Having two different alleles for the same trait Aa
Heterozygous
Is Jean that will be expressed whenever it is present because it is the stronger of the two alleles
Dominant
The scientific study of her physical bio chemical and behavioral traits I transmitted from parents to children
Genetics
The process that creates sex cells
Meiosis
The process by which a specific genes from one organism is transferred into the DNA of another organism
Genetic engineering
The two sides of DNA are held together by weak _____ bonds.
Hydrogen
DNA is in the shape of a double…
Helix
The extended name from DNA
Deoxyribonucleic acid
A change in the type or order of the bases in DNA
Mutation
This base pairs with cytosine
Guanine
Sections of DNA that codes for a trait
Gene
When people cross different animals to get desired or specific traits
Selective breeding
