Definition
the process of producing two identical replicas from one original DNA molecule
the building blocks of DNA (and RNA)
one of 4 nitrogen bases that build DNA; pairs with thymine
one of 4 nitrogen bases that build DNA; pairs with adenine
one of 4 nitrogen bases that build DNA; pairs with cytosine
one of 4 nitrogen bases that build DNA; pairs with guanine
strands of DNA that are twisted together; 2 sister chromatids after replication
a segment of DNA on a chromosome that codes for a specific trait
founder of modern science of genetics; famous for his pea experiments
an organism that always produces an offspring with the same form of a trait as the
purebred
parent
trait
a characteristic that an organism can pass on to its offspring through its genes
allele
the different forms of a gene
Rosalind Franklin
famous woman scientist who used x-rays to photograph DNA molecules
James Watson & Fracis Crick with Franklin's photographs, created a 3D model of DNA molecule
reproductive cells; mature male or female cells that unite with another of the
sex cells
opposite sex to produce a fertilized cell
dominant
an allele whose trait always shows up in the organism when the allele is present
recessive
an allele that is masked when a dominant allele is present
co-dominance
a condition in which neither of the two alleles of a gene is dominant or recessive
genotype
an organism's genetic make up or allele combination
phenotype
an organism's physical appearance of a visible trait
diagram designed to predict an outcome of a particular cross or breeding
