Biology - Genetics
allele ✔✔Form of a gene. Each characteristic has two alleles.
recessive ✔✔trait that will only appear in the phenotype if organism inherits two of them;
covered up by the dominant gene
gamete ✔✔sex cell; sperm or egg
adenine ✔✔A base thats found in DNA. It will only bond with Thymine.
amino acid ✔✔Building blocks of protein
asexual reproduction ✔✔Reproduction of identical offspring from a single parent. No gametes
involved
autosomes ✔✔Any chromosome other than the sex chromosomes.
base ✔✔One of four chemicals which make up the 'rungs' of DNA; A;T;C;G
base-pair ✔✔Two bases making each rung of DNA: either A-T or C-G
biodiversity ✔✔The variation in species within an ecosystem
cell ✔✔The structural and functional unit of all living things
cell division ✔✔The formation of two or more daughter cells
chromosome ✔✔Thread-like structures bearing genes that are found in the nucleus of a cell
characteristic ✔✔A distinctive inherited feature of organism
cloning ✔✔A process that produces identical genetic individuals
