Cut up the table and match the keyword or phrase with the correct statement.
stem cells
This describes the genetic makeup of an individual
regarding a particular characteristic, e.g, Ff, ff.
mitosis
This type of cell division produces cells with only half the
original number of chromosomes.
heterozygous
Coiled structures found in the nucleus, made from large
molecules of DNA.
genotype
This describes the physical appearance of an individual
regarding a particular characteristic, e.g. dimples, no
dimples.
phenotype
An individual with different alleles for a characteristic, e.g Tt.
chromosomes
A genetic disorder caused by a recessive allele that affects
many organs of the body.
homozygous
A technique used to show the unique patterns in an
individual’s DNA.
meiosis
These cells are undifferentiated and can become any kind
of cell.
Huntington’s disease
A section of DNA that codes for a protein.
DNA fingerprinting
An individual with two identical alleles for a characteristic,
e.g. DD, dd.
gene
A genetic disorder caused by a dominant allele that affects
coordination and concentration.
cystic fibrosis
