Phenotype
Collection of inherited/phenotypic traits detectable in an individual
Phenotypic traits
characteristics apparent in the individual
pattern of inheritance
inheritance of detectable traits across generations in a family
genotype
DNA/chromosome basis of inherited traits in an individual
,DNA
deoxyribonucleic Acid is the molecule carrying the coding information
for genes
chromosome
cell structure organizing the molecules of DNA individual structural
units of DNA which are best seen in dividing cells
genome
the total of all the genes contained in a cell's chromosomes
daughter cell
a cell resulting from a division of a single cell (called the parent cell)
mitosis
the type of cell division of most cells in which chromosomes are
duplicated in the daughter cells and are identical with those in the
parent cell. The characteristic cell division found in all cells in the body
except for the gametes
meiosis
a special type of cell division occurring in gametes (ova and sperm) in
which the number of chromosomes is reduced by one-half
diploid
cell containing 2N (pairs) of each chromosome
homologous chromosomes
a matched pair of chromosomes, one derived from each parent
, reduction division
process occurring in meiosis reducing the 2N pairs of chromosomes to
1N
haploid
cell containing 1N of each chromosome, a gamete
zygote
fertilized egg
autosomal chromosomes
chromosomes other than sex chromosomes. A human has 22 pairs of
autosomes
sex chromosomes
the x and y chromosomes that determine genetic sex. A human has 1
pair of sex chromosomes
karyotype
chromosomes from a single cell arranged in pairs in descending order
according to size of the chromosomes and the positions of the
centromeres used to visualize the chromosome composition of an
individual
allele
one of several related forms of a single gene
locus
the position of a gene on a chromosome
