The gene that a person posses for particular trait?
genotype
detectable trait such as eye color or blood type
phenotype
a gene that is not phenotypically expressed in the presence of a dominant gene
recessive gene
a gene that is phenotypically expressed even in the presence of any other gene
dominant gene
identical allleles for a given gene
homozygus
2 different alleles for a given gene
heterozygous
inheritance of a gene on the X or Y chromosome, so that the associated phenotype is expressed more in one sex than the other
sex linkage
mutated "misbehaving" forms of normal genes
oncogenes
2 copies of each chromosome
diploid
used in sexual reproduction
is exactly 1/2 a a species
haploid

burned as fuel
3 major pathways of glucose catabolism
glycolysis, anaerobic fermention, aerobic respiratin
splits a glucose molecule into two molecules of pyruvic acid
glycolysis
occurs in the absence of oxygen and reduces pyruvic acid to lactic acid
