Genetic factors |
The general guideline of traits determined by a person’s DNA |
|
|
|
Environmental factors |
These “non-biological” factors that are involved in a person’s surroundings such as the nature of the person’s parents, the person’s friends, and the person’s behavioral choices |
|
|
|
Spiritual factors |
The quality of a person’s relationship with God |
|
|
|
Gene |
A section of DNA that coded for the production of a protein or a portion of protein, thereby causing a trait |
|
|
|
Chromosome |
A strand of DNA coiled around and supported by proteins, found in the nucleus of the cell |
|
|
|
Mitosis |
The duplication of a cell’s chromosomes to allow the daughter cells to receive the exact genetic makeup of the parents cell |
|
|
|
Interphase |
The time interval between cellular reproduction |
|
|
|
Centromere |
Constricted region of a chromosome and the point at which duplicate DNA strands attach themselves |
|
|
|
Mother cell |
A cell ready to begin reproduction, containing duplicate DNA and centriole |
|
|
|
Karyotype |
The figure produced when the chromosomes of a species during metaphase are arranged according to size |
The figure produced... size |
|
|
Diploid cell |
A cell whose chromosomes come in homologous pairs |
|
|
|
Diploid cell |
A cell whose chromosomes come in homologous pairs |
homologous |
|
|
Haploid cells |
Cells that have only one of each chromosome |
have only one |
|
|
Diploid chromosome number (2n) |
The total number of chromosomes in a diploid cell |
total number |
|
|
Haploid chromosome number (n) |
The number of homologous pairs in a diploid cell |
# homologous |
|
|
Meiosis |
The process by which a diploid (2n) cell forms four gametes (n) |
Diploid = double n Gametes = n |
|
|
Gametes |
Haploid cell’s (n) produced by diploid cells (2n) for the purpose of reproduction |
|
|
|
Virus |
A non-cellular infectious agent that has two characteristics (1) it has genetic material inside a protective coat (2) it cannot reproduce itself |
|
|
|
Vaccine |
A weakened or inactive version of a virus that stimulates the body’s production of of antibodies which can destroy the virus |
|
|
|
Genetics |
The science that studies how characteristics get passed from parent to offspring |
|
|
|
Antibodies |
Specialized proteins that aid in destroying infectious agents |
