MITOSIS

Back

A type of cell division where a single cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells.

Front

HOMOZYGOUS DOMINANT

Back

A genotype with two identical dominant alleles (e.g., AA).

Front

GENOTYPE

Back

The genetic constitution of an individual, represented by alleles.

Front

ALLELES

Back

Different forms of a gene that can exist at a specific locus.

CROSSING OVER

Back

The exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes during meiosis.

Front

METAPHASE

Back

The stage of mitosis where chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane.

Front

CYTOKINESIS

Back

The final stage of cell division, where the cytoplasm divides, resulting in two separate cells.

Front

PROTEINS

Back

Large biomolecules made up of amino acids, crucial for structure, function, and regulation of the body's cells.
