Key Genetics Vocabulary Note-Taking Chart Term Synonym/Explanation Chromosomes, Compact spools of DNA in a cell’s nucleus n. that carry the code for the organism’s inherited characteristics DNA, n. The genetic molecule in a cell’s nucleus that determines the organism’s genetic traits Gene, n. A segment of DNA on a chromosome that determines a particular inherited Genetic, adj. characteristics-coding for a specific protein Genome, n. All the genes of an organism. Clone, n. or v. Molecules, n. A plant or animal grown from the cell of another plant or animal and is an exact copy of that plant or animal. Groups of atoms bonded together. Offspring, n. An animal’s or human’s young, children. Trait, n. A quality or characteristic which makes one thing different from another. Differences between things of the same type, diversity The kinds of genes (alleles)an individual carries The observable expression of a trait The passing of traits from parents to offspring Alternate forms or varieties of a gene. The alleles for a trait occupy the same position on homologous chromosomes and thus govern the same trait. An inherited trait which is present even when inherited only from one parent. the form of the gene that shows up only when inherited from both parents Variation, n. Genotype, n. Phenotype, n. Heredity, n. Alleles, n. Dominant, n. Recessive, n. Probability, n. the likelihood of an occurrence Example/Image/Showing Sentence Most humans have 46 chromosomes or 23 homologous pairs (one from mom and one from dad). DNA is the abbreviation for deoxyribonucleic acid. Your eye color is controlled by your genes. Scientists have just finished mapping the entire human genome. It is currently not legal to make a human clone. It is illegal to clone a human. Water is a molecule containing two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. A salmon has many more offspring at one time than humans do. Having hair or fur is a trait of being a mammal. There is a lot of variation in the hair color of humans. The cat had a homozygous (tt) genotype. The cat had the recessive bobtail trait. The heredity of the English Royal family was well known. You receive one allele from your mother and one from your father for each trait. Brown eye color is dominant over other eye color When both parents have the recessive allele for no freckles, their offspring may not have freckles. The student who studies has a greater probability of succeeding in school than a student who does not study.
