Picture Vocabulary
Organisms and Environments
Heredity
Process of characteristics transmitted from parent
to offspring.
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)
The heredity material of the cell, made up of
sequences of four similar chemicals arranged
in linear strands, with each strand of DNA
called a chromosome.
Chromosome
A structure that is made of DNA that contains
the genetic information needed to make
new cells and carry out cell functions.
Genes
The basic physical and functional unit of
heredity made up of DNA.
Genotype
The genetic makeup of an organism.
Phenotype
The physical appearance of an organism.
Trait
A characteristic of an organism controlled by
genetics.
Dominant
The inherited characteristic that
is always expressed when present.
Recessive
The inherited characteristic that is only expressed
when no other characteristic is present.
