16
GAMETE : are sex cells --- eggs in the female or sperm cells in the male
FERTILIZATION : actual fusion of an egg and a sperm
DIPLOID : a cell has two copies of each chromosome; one from mom and the other from dad
HAPLOID : a cell has only one copy of each chromosome
MEIOSIS : a form of nuclear division that divides a diploid cell into haploid cells
SPERM : the male gamete
EGG : the female gamete
GAMETOGENESIS : is the production of gametes
TRAITS : are distinguishing characteristics that are inherited
GENETICS : the study of biological inheritance patterns and variation in organisms
PHENOTYPE : the physical characteristics, or traits, of an organism make up its _____.
HETEROZYGOUS : two different alleles at a specific locus
ALLELE : is any of the alternative forms of a gene that may occur at a specific locus
GENE : a piece of DNA that provides a set of instructions to a cell to make a certain protein
DOMINANT : is the allele that is expressed when two different alleles are present
RECESSIVE : is the allele that is only expressed when two copies are present
