TERM 3

replication

DEFINITION 3

making a copy

TERM 4

asexual reproduction

DEFINITION 4

reproduction without sex. single cell makes a copy of itself

TERM 5

cell replacement

DEFINITION 5

our cells being reproduced all the time

what happens when cell reproduction goes

wrong?

cancer, down-syndrome. (extra chromosome)

TERM 7

somatic cell reproduction

DEFINITION 7

mitosis. type of cell reproduction. associates with making

more cells in our body except for sex cells

TERM 8

mitosis

DEFINITION 8

a type of cell replacement

TERM 9

somatic cell

DEFINITION 9

every cell is human body except your sex cells. every one of

these is a diploid

TERM 10

diploid

DEFINITION 10

2 sets of chromosomes (one from mom and one from dad)

mitosis

makes new somatic/body cells

TERM 17

result of mitosis

DEFINITION 17

two identical diploid somatic daughter cells

TERM 18

prophase

DEFINITION 18

first phase

TERM 19

interphase

DEFINITION 19

beginning of prophase

TERM 20

metaphase

DEFINITION 20

middle phase, chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell

anaphase

sister chromatids separate

TERM 22

telophase

DEFINITION 22

new nucleus is formed, final phase

TERM 23

meiosis

DEFINITION 23

sex cell reproduction. make gametes/sex cells

TERM 24

result of meiosis

DEFINITION 24

four haploid gametes/sex cells

TERM 25

haploid (1n)

DEFINITION 25

1 set of chromosomes

trait

descriptive characteristicsex: height or pea shape

TERM 32

gene

DEFINITION 32

a unit of inheritance

TERM 33

allele

DEFINITION 33

different versions of a gene

TERM 34

dominant trait

DEFINITION 34

alleles that are expressed in the phenotype when present in

the genotype (GG or Gg)

TERM 35

recessive trait

DEFINITION 35

alleles that are only expressed in the phenotype when no

dominant alleles are present (gg)

genotype

genetic make-up of a trait.ex: TT, Tt, tt

TERM 37

phenotype

DEFINITION 37

physical make-up of a traitex: short, tall

TERM 38

homozygous

DEFINITION 38

genotype with two identical alleles

TERM 39

homozygous dominant

DEFINITION 39

same allele and both are dominant (GG)

TERM 40

homozygous

recessive

DEFINITION 40

same allele and both are recessive (gg)
