Meiosis
An organism that has had its genetic code altered through biotechnology for the purpose of giving it traits of other organsims.
mRNA
A process that generates 4 genetically unique cells; used mostly by multicellular organisms.
Genetic Variation
The idea of biodiversity within a species achieved through meiosis.
Genetically Modified Organism
A molecule that is a transcription of DNA and carries the genetic code from the nucleus to the to the ribosome.
Mutation
A random error in genetic code that can fall under the heading of "silent," "frameshift," or "chromosomal."

Transgenic Organsim
The process of generating a molecule of mRNA.
Translation
The process of generating a protein from an mRNA molecule.
Nondisjunction
The failure of chromosomes to separate fully during meiosis; results in "trisomy" in offspring.

Codominance
Alternative forms of genes (brown hair vs. blond hair).
Alleles
A genotype which contains two of the same alleles (either AA or aa).
Law of Dominance
A type of heredity where offspring exhibit 2 dominant alleles (stripes or spots).
Heterozygous Genotype
Mendel's law that states that only one copy of a certain allele needs to be present in the genotype for that trait to show in the phenotype.
Homozygous Genotype
A genotype which contains two different alleles (Aa).

Monohybrid Punnett Square
Mendel's principle that states that homologous chromosomes will sort independently of each other (one combination in one offspring will not necessarily arise in another offspring from the same breeding pair).
Law of Independent Assortment
A genetic cross represented by 4 squares that indicates the probability that offspring will receive a certain genotype.
Incomplete Dominance
A type of heredity where the offspring will have a phenotype that is a blending of the two alleles (Red + White = Pink).
Law of Segregation
Mendel's principle that states that sister chromatids separate from each other into individual gametes.
Phenotype
The physical appearance of offspring based on their genotype.
