Punnett Square : diagram that is used to predict an outcome of a particular cross or breeding experiment.
Gene : basic physical and functional unit of heredity.
Heredity : passing of traits from parents to their offspring, either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction.
Allele : variant form of a gene.
Phenotype : individual's observable traits, such as height, eye color, and blood type.
Genotype : individual's collection of genes.
Dominant : form of a gene overpowers the counterpart, or recessive, form located on the other of a pair of chromosomes.
Recessive : denoting heritable characteristics controlled by genes that are expressed in offspring only when inherited from both parents
Offspring : a person's child or children.
Cell : the smallest structural and functional unit of an organism, typically microscopic and consisting of cytoplasm and a nucleus enclosed in a membrane.
Nucleus : central and most important part of an object, movement, or group, forming the basis for its activity and growth.
Chromosome : a threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes.
Homolog : A gene similar in structure and evolutionary origin to a gene in another species
Homozygous : pair of matching alleles, which are the two genes that control a particular trait.
Heterozygous : a pair of genes where one is dominant and one is recessive
Trait : a distinguishing quality or characteristic, typically one belonging to a person.
Mitosis : a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, typical of ordinary tissue growth.
Meiosis : a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell, as in the production of gametes and plant spores.
Chromatid : each of the two threadlike strands into which a chromosome divides longitudinally during cell division.
Centromere : the point on a chromosome by which it is attached to a spindle fiber during cell division
Egg : an oval or round object laid by a female bird, reptile, fish, or invertebrate, usually containing a developing embryo.
Fertilization : the action or process of fertilizing an egg, female animal, or plant, involving the fusion of male and female gametes to form a zygote.
Gamete : a mature haploid male or female germ cell that is able to unite with another of the opposite sex in sexual reproduction to form a zygote.
Incomplete dominance : genetic situation in which one allele does not completely dominate another allele, and therefore results in a new phenotype.
Sperm : The male sex cell, typically consisting of a head, mid piece, and tail.
Pedigree Chart : diagram that shows the occurrence and appearance or phenotypes of a particular gene or organism and its ancestors from one generation to the next.
