1.
allele: the different forms of a gene
2.
chromosomal disorders: changes in the overall structure or number in chromosomes
3.
codominance: a situation in which both alleles for a gene are equally expressed
4.
DNA REPLICATION: before a cell divides the process in which the DNA copies itself
5.
dominant: an allele whose trait always shows upinto the organism when the allele is present
6.
female sex chromosomes: XX
7.
gene: a sequence of DNA that determines a trait and is passed from parent to offspring
8.
genetic disorder: mutations in the DNA of genes
9.
genotype: an organism's allele combination
10.
heterozygous: having two different alleles for a particular gene
11.
homozygous: having to identical alleles for a paticular gene
12.
incomplete dominance: a situation in which one allele is not completely dominant over another allele
13.
male sex chromosmes: XY
14.
meiosis: is the reproduction of sex cells result is 4 different cells
15.
phenotype: an organism's physical apperence
16.
punnett squares: it helps us predict the possible genotypes of the offspring
17.
recessive: an allele that is hidden whenever there is a dominant allele present
18.
sex chromosomes: X,Y
19.
sex linked traits: a gene that is carried on a sex chromosome
