Unit 6 Pre-Assessment: Genetics and Epigenetics

division of the nucleus followed by division of the cytoplasm

• heredity

• sexual reproduction

• mitosis

• genes

distinct structures that DNA is divided into in the nucleus

• genes

• chromosomes

• hybrid

• mitosis

reproduction that does not involve combining DNA of individuals; offspring are identical to parent

• asexual reproduction

• sexual reproduction

• heredity

• prophase

organism that is a combination of two different alleles of an organism (ie. Long hair + short hair = medium hair)

• hybrid

• genes

• chromosomes

• dominant

something that overshadows or covers a lesser version of that thing

• hybrid

• genes

• dominant

• mitosis

the process of using the DNA code to produce the physical traits of an organism

• sexual reproduction

• mitosis

• heredity

• gene expression

the stage during which chromosomes condense and become visible

• mitosis

• asexual reproduction

• prophase

• gene expression

sections of DNA code inherited from parent to offspring

• genes

• chromosomes

• prophase

• hybrid

unique offspring produced by combining the genes of two different parents

• mitosis

• asexual reproduction

• sexual reproduction

• hybrid

the passage of genetic instructions from one generation to the next

• mitosis

• chromosomes

• gene expression

• heredity
