7th Science - Genetics

When an organism has the same two alleles for a trait. (example: TT)

• homozygous

• heterozygous

• gene

• trait

Structures in the nucleus made up of DNA and protein

• asexual reproduction

• chromosomes

• punnett squares

• finch

When an organism has two different alleles for a trait; (example Tt)

• Homozygous

• heterozygous

• allele

• trait

What is an organism's physical representation of it's genotype?

• elle

• heredity

• dominant

• phenotype

One set of instructions for an inherited trait

• sexual reproduction

• gene

• homozygous

• heterozygous

The entire genetic makeup of an organism; also the combination of genes for one or more specific trait. (ex. Bb)

• genes

• traits

• genotype

• phenotype

A unit of heredity that is transferred from a parent to offspring and is held to determine some characteristic of the offspring

• Chromosomes

• Gene

• DNA

• Offspring

Threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes.

• Chromosomes

• Gene

• DNA

• Offspring

Product of reproduction, a new organism produced by one or more parents

• Chromosomes

• Gene

• DNA

• Offspring

Feature of an organism,A characteristic that an organism can pass on to its offspring through its genes

• Heredity

• Asexual Reproduction

• Trait

• Sexual Reproduction
