Gene
|
The fundamental, physical, and functional unit of heredity.
|
|
Homologous Chromosomes
|
A chromosome with the same gene sequence as another
|
|
Genetics
|
The study of the patterns of inheritance of specific traits. Relating to genes and genetic information. Also known as heredity.
|
|
Gamete
|
A reproductive cell or sex cell that contains the haploid set of chromosomes.
|
|
Haploid
|
A cell or an organism having half of the number of chromosomes in somatic cells.
|
|
Fertilization
|
A process in sexual reproduction that involves the union of male(sperm) and female(ovum)gametes(each with a single, haploid set of chromosomes) to produce a diploid zygote.
|
|
Diploid
|
A cell or an organism consisting of two sets of chromosomes, usually one set from the mother, and another set from the father. In a diploid state, the haploid number is doubles, this this condition is also known as 2n.
|
|
Meoisis
|
A form of cell division happening in sexually reproducing organisms.
|
|
Crossing Over
|
A process occuring during meiosis wherein two chromosomes pair up and exchange segments of their genetic material.
|
|
Allele
|
One member of a pair (Or any of the series) of genes occupying a specific spot on a chromosome (called locus) that controls the same trait.
|
|
Dominant
|
An allele or a gene that is expressed in an organism's phenotype, masking the effect of the recessive allele or gene when present.
|
|
Recessive
|
A gene (or allele) whose phenotype expression is masked by a dominant gene (or allele)
|
|
Homozygous
|
Of, or pertaining to an individual (or a condition in a cell or organism) containing two copies of the same allele for a particular trait located at similar positions (loci) on paired chromosomes.
|
|
Heterozygous
|
Of, or pertaining to an individual (or a condition in a cell or organism) containing two different alleles for a particular trait.
|
|
Genotype
|
he entire set of genes in an organism.
|
|
Phenotype
|
The physical appearance or biochemical characteristic of an organism as a result of the interaction of its genotype and the evironment.
|
|
Law of Segregation
|
Law stating that paired alleles separate during gamete formation. Consequently, each gamete would contain only one copy of every paired unit factors.
|
|
Hybrid
|
An offspring resulting from the cross between parents of different species or sub-species.
|
|
Law of Independent Assortment
|
Mendelian law stating that for every pair of unit factors, each of them would assort independently into the newly formed gametes.
|
|
Genetic Recombination
|
The process of forming new allelic combination in offspring by exchanges between genetic materials.
|
|
Polyploidy
|
An organism or cell having more than twice the number of chromosomes. Of a cell or organism having more than twice the haploid number of chromosomes.
