Genetics Vocab Test

The process that creates four haploid gametes

• Mitosis

• Meiosis

• Fertilization

This is the physical trait or characteristic that we can see

• phenotype

• genotype

• zenotype

• greenotype

a pair of identical alleles are...

• heterozygous

• homozygous

• dominant

• recessive

the action of dividing or splitting something into two or more parts. (usually happens to bacteria)

• budding

• sexual reproduction

• fission

• zygote

Made up of DNA and carry our genes on them.

• chromosomes

• daughter cells

• gametes

• pedigree

This is a genetic family tree. It shows the genetic ancestry of an organism.

• Punnett Square

• Pedigree

• T-Chart

• Box Diagram

The process by which two gametes (reproductive cells having a single, haploid set of chromosomes) fuse to become a zygote, which develops into a new organism.

• budding

• Regeneration

• fertilization

• gamete

a diploid cell resulting from the fusion of two haploid gametes; a fertilized egg

• zygote

• chromosome

• trait

• somatic cell

A cell formed from meiosis, haploid sex cell

• daughter cell

• gamete

• somatic cell

• meiosis cell

a cell with one set or half of the chromosomes

• diploid

• haploid

• traploid

• halfloid
