genetic inheritance

Cards (22)

  • The genome is the complete set of genes or genetic material present in an organism.
  • Alleles are different versions of a gene that can be inherited from parents.
  • Alleles are different versions of a gene that can be inherited from parents.
  • Genes are segments of DNA that code for specific traits, such as eye color or height.
  • The genome is the complete set of genes or genetic material present in an organism.
  • Dominant alleles express themselves even if only one copy is present, while recessive alleles require two copies to be expressed.
  • Genes are segments of DNA that code for specific traits, such as eye color or height.
  • DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the molecule responsible for storing genetic information.
  • Genes determine traits, such as eye color, hair color, height, etc.
  • Chromosomes carry DNA and are found inside cells.
  • Chromosomes are structures within cells that carry genetic information.
  • DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the molecule that contains our genetic information.
  • Phenotype refers to observable characteristics or traits expressed by an individual.
  • DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the molecule that contains all the instructions needed to build and maintain living things.
  • A chromatid is one of two identical copies of a chromosome that separate during cell division.
  • Codominance refers to situations where both alleles contribute equally to the expression of a trait.
  • Punnett squares are used to predict the possible outcomes of genetic crosses based on Mendel's laws.
  • Phenotype refers to observable characteristics or traits, while genotype refers to the actual genetic makeup of an individual.
  • Pedigree charts show family relationships and patterns of inheritance over multiple generations.
  • Gene expression involves the process of transcribing DNA into RNA and then translating it into proteins.
  • Each cell has a complete set of chromosomes with all its genes.
  • Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, including sex chromosomes.
