Year 11 Genetics Recap

2. The base pairing rule that determines which DNA base bonds to which.
5. Thin strand of DNA containing genes. Found in the Nucleus.
8. All the genetic differences between individuals of a population.
9. An organisms genetic makeup, or allele combinations.
12. The type of reproduction where a single parent reproduces by itself resulting in gametes that are genetically identical to the parent.
13. An alternative form of a gene.
15. The process in which a new copy of DNA is created for a new cell.

1. Two sets of chromosomes.
3. A building block of DNA that is made of a phosphate, sugar and a base.
4. The physical expression of a gene (can also be influenced by the environment).
6. A molecule that stores the genetic information required for cell function.
7. A segment of DNA on a chromosome that codes for a specific trait/protein.
10. One set of chromosomes.
11. The type of reproduction where two parents combine their genetic material to produce a new organism which differs from both parents genetically.
14. A type of cell division that creates 4 haploid gametes, genetically unique from one another.
