Genetics Unit

2. The process of forming a new individual from two parent cells. (unique cells result)
3. Describes the combination of alleles that an individual has.
5. The gene that is expressed if it is present in a genotype.
8. Cell reproduction that creates 4 daughter cells with half the original genetic material. Occurs in gamete cells only.
10. Either of the two cells formed when a cell undergoes cell division by mitosis.
11. The process of forming a new individual from a single parent. (identical cells result)
12. Having two different alleles of a particular gene or genes. (ex. Hh)
13. Cell reproduction that creates 2 identical daughter cells. Occurs in all cells other than gamete cells.
14. Certain forms of a gene responsible for a specific trait.

1. Having two identical alleles of a particular gene or genes (ex. HH or hh)
4. Describes the traits you see from a certain genotype.
6. A segment of DNA that is responsible for coding for a specific trait.
7. The gene that is only expressed if it is the only allele present in a genotype.
9. Tightly coiled strands of DNA that form when cells reproduce.
10. Material that makes up our chromosomes and stores our genetic information. DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid.
