• Carrying Capacity -✓✓The maximum population of a particular
organism that a given environment can support without detrimental
effects
• Gamete -✓✓a mature sexual reproductive cell, as a sperm or egg, that
unites with another cell to form a new organism.
• Zygote -✓✓the cell produced by the union of two gametes, before it
undergoes cleavage.
• Embryo -✓✓the young of a viviparous animal, especially of a
mammal, in the early stages of development within the womb, in
humans up to the end of the second month
• Punnett Square -✓✓a type of grid used to show the gametes of each
parent and their possible offspring; a type of grid that can indicate all the
possible outcomes of a genetic cross
• Phenotype -✓✓The expression of a specific trait based on genetic and
environmental influences.
,• Genotype -✓✓the genetic makeup of an organism or group of
organisms with reference to a single trait, set of traits, or an entire
complex of traits.
• Allele -✓✓any of several forms of a gene, usually arising through
mutation, that are responsible for hereditary variation.
• Homozygous -✓✓having identical pairs of genes for any given pair of
hereditary characteristics
• Heterozygous -✓✓having dissimilar pairs of genes for any hereditary
characteristic
• Dominant Trait -✓✓a trait that will appear in the offspring if one of
the parents contributes it
• Recessive Trait -✓✓a trait that mustt be contributed by both parents in
order to appear in the offspring
• Nondisjunction -✓✓the failure of chromosomes to separate and
segregate into daughter cells at division
• Mutation -✓✓a sudden change different than the parent type in one or
more heritable characteristics, caused by a change in a gene or a
chromosome
, • Genetic Engineering -✓✓the development and application of scientific
methods, procedures, and technologies that permit direct manipulation
of genetic material in order to alter the hereditary traits of a cell,
organism, or population
• Recombinant DNA -✓✓DNA in which one or more segments or genes
have been inserted, either naturally or by laboratory manipulation, from
a different molecule or from another part of the same molecule, resulting
in a new genetic combination
• Transcription -✓✓The process by which mRNA is synthesized from a
DNA template resulting in the transfer of genetic information from the
DNA molecule to mRNA
• Replication -✓✓the process by which exact copies of complex
molecules, such as DNA molecules, that occurs during growth of living
organisms
• Traslation -✓✓The process by which mRNA, tRNA, and ribosomes
effect the production of a protein molecule from amino acids, the
specificity of synthesis being controlled by the base sequences of the
mRNA
• Ecosystem -✓✓the interaction of a community of organisms with their
environment
