Study Notes
Genetic Engineering
- Genetic engineering involves changing a DNA sequence.
Punnett Square
- A chart used to predict probabilities in offspring.
Recessive Allele
- An allele that only shows when it's by itself.
Heterozygote
- A genotype with different alleles.
Transgenic
- Combining DNA from different cells or organisms.
Probability
- The likelihood that something will happen.
Homozygote
- A genotype with the same alleles.
Mendel
- Considered the father of genetics.
GMO
- Genetically Modified Organism.
Acquired Traits
- Characteristics gained during a lifetime.
Law of Independent Assortment
- Alleles are randomly distributed during a lifetime.
Allele
- Different forms of a gene.
Genetic Mutation
- A disease caused by a change in a DNA sequence.
Phenotype
- The physically seen characteristics of an organism.
Law of Segregation
- Two alleles for each trait separate during meiosis.
Dominant Allele
- An allele that always shows up when present.
Genotype
- A letter combination representing an organism's traits.
Genetics
- The study of inherited traits.
