|
Sagittal Plane
|
Divides the body into right and left sections.
|
|
|
Mid-Sagittal Plane
|
Divides the body into equal right and left halves.
|
|
|
Coronal Plane
|
Divides the body into front and back sections.
|
|
|
Transverse Plane
|
Divides the body into upper and lower sections.
|
|
|
Medial
|
Closer to the midsagittal plane.
Toward the middle of the body. |
|
|
Lateral
|
Further from the midsagittal plane.
Toward the sides of the body. |
|
|
Anterior
|
Toward the front.
|
|
|
Posterior
|
Toward the back.
|

|
|
|
Proximal
|
Close to the point of limb attachment.
Further up the arm or leg. |
|
|
Distal
|
Further away from the point of limb attachment.
Toward the fingers or toes. |
|
|
Blending Inheritance
|
Hypothesis that heritable factors mix and are subsequently passed on intact to offspring in the new, blended form.
|
|
|
Darwinian Evolution
|
Descent with modification via natural selection.
|
|
|
Dihybrid Cross
|
Mating between 2 individuals, each of whom is heterozygous at 2 loci of interest.
|
|
|
Dominant
|
Exerting a ruling or controlling influence
IN genetics, capable of expression identical to a dominant homozygote when carried by only one pair of homologous chromosome. An allele is dominant if the phenotype of a heterozygote is the same as the homozygote in an FI cross. |
|
|
Falsified
|
Having disproved a hypothesis or theory by contradicting it through the outcome of a physical experiment.
|
|
|
Fossil Record
|
Evolutionary history of life or any particular taxon as revealed through the continuum of fossil remains.
|
|
|
Gene Pool
|
Information encoded in the sum total of all the genes in a deme existing at a given time.
A new generation consists of pairs of gametic combinations drawn from the parental population. |
|
|
Deme
|
A local breeding population.
|
|
|
Hard Inheritance
|
Hypothesis that genetic material is constant and unaffected by lifestyle or environment
Therefore, that none of the phenotypic changes experienced by an organism during its lifetime can be passed on to offspring. |
|
|
Heterozygous
|
Diploid organism possessing different alleles at a single locus on homologous chromatids.
|
|
|
Skull Bones
|
Frontal
Parietals Temporal Occipital Mandible Maxilla Zygomatics |
|
|
Mastoid Process
|
Attachment for the muscles that turn your head
|
|
|
External Auditory Meatus
|
Ear hole.
|
|
|
Important suture
|
Saggital
Coronal Lambdoid Squamosal (or lateral) Metopic (closes after childhood) |
|
|
Suture
|
Where the bones in the skull meet.
|
|
|
Heterozygous
|
Diploid organism possessing different alleles at a single locus on homologous chromatids
|
|
|
Homozygous
|
In a diploid organsim, individual possessing exactly identical alleles at a locus on homologous chromatids
|
|
|
Inheritance of Acquired Characteristics
|
Phenotypic modifications arise soley through environmental influences on the development processes of an organism; ...such characters can be passed on to the next generation.
|
|
|
Recessive
|
Referring to a genetic allele, the expression of which is suppressed when it occurs in combination with a dominant allele. Recessive alleles are only expressed in the homozygous condition.
|
|
|
The Heterozygote Advantage
|
The suggestion that the heterozygote is more fit than either of the homozygotes, giving them a selective advantage.
|
|
|
Antigens
|
ANTIbody GENerators
Molecules that are attached to the surface of the cell that allows your body to identify them as either "self" or "non-self", and are part of the reason why blood type compatibility is extremely important when receiving a blood transfusion. |
|
|
Antibodies
|
Proteins in the plasma of blood that are produced in reaction to foreign antigen.
|
|
|
Phenotype
|
The realization of the genotype with some environmental influences.
|
|
|
Genotype
|
The actual alleles and genes.
|
