Study Notes
- Somatic cells are any body cell that is not a reproductive (gamete) cell.
- Diploid cells contain two complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent.
- Haploid cells contain only one set of chromosomes, such as sperm or egg cells.
- DNA's double helix shape is a twisted ladder made up of two nucleotide strands.
- Nucleotides, the building blocks of DNA and RNA, consist of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.
- Codominance is a genetic scenario where both alleles in a gene pair are fully expressed, such as AB blood type.
- A cross is the breeding of two organisms to study inheritance patterns.
- Probability is the likelihood that a specific genetic trait or event will occur.
- Incomplete dominance occurs when neither allele is completely dominant, resulting in a blended phenotype.
- A karyotype is a visual representation of all the chromosomes in a cell, used to detect genetic disorders.
- Homologous chromosomes pairs share the same structure and carry the same genes, one from each parent.
- A stem cell is an undifferentiated cell that can develop into different cell types.
- Cell specialization is the process by which generic cells develop into specific types with unique functions.
- Gene regulation refers to the mechanisms that control which genes are turned on or off in a cell.
- A mutation is a change in the DNA sequence that can lead to genetic variation or disease.
- Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two identical diploid daughter cells.
- Meiosis is the process of cell division that creates haploid gametes (sperm and eggs) for reproduction.
- A genome constitutes the complete set of genetic material in an organism.
- An allele is a variant form of a gene that determines specific traits.
- Heredity is the passing of traits from parents to offspring through genes.
- Duplication is a mutation where a segment of a chromosome is copied and appears twice.
- Deletion is a mutation where a part of a chromosome is lost or removed.
- Inversion is a chromosome mutation where a segment is reversed end to end.
- Translocation is a mutation where a segment of a chromosome breaks off and attaches to a different chromosome.
