oncology
study of cancer
TERM 2
cell reproduction
DEFINITION 2
makes cancer spread through your body, makes another cell
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)
