| phenotype | | Cell division that creates cells with half as many chromosomes (haploid cells) |
| variation | | When the phenotype of one gene masks another |
| genotype | | a male sex cell or gamete |
| homozygous | | Either a sperm or egg cell created my meiosis |
| genome | | Either an A, C, T or G that are the language of DNA |
| recessive | | The relationship between two alleles where the phenotype contains some of each allele's phenotype |
| meiosis | | The observable characteristics of an organism that are governed by the combination of dominant and recessive genes |
| chromosome | | A picture of all the chromosomes in a cell |
| gene | | The differences between cells, organisms and groups of organisms caused by genetic differences |
| mitosis | | The specific part of a DNA sequence that determines a specific characteristic |
| nucleotide | | The genetically inherited condition in which there is a marked deficiency of pigmentation in skin, hair, and eyes |
| heterozygous | | A characteristic of an organism that is a due to the alleles of one or more genes |
| protein | | A sequence of amino acids who's order is determined by the DNA that codes for it |
| Gregor Mendel | | A cell that is formed when a sperm and an ovum combine their chromosomes at conception. |
| codominance | | An organism's complete set of DNA, including all of its genes |
| karyotype | | When the phenotype is masked by another gene |
| incomplete dominance | | A packaged and organised structure of DNA and protein that hhelps keep DNA safe during cell replication |
| gamete | | The German Monk who came up with the laws on simple inheritance |
| trait | | the relationship between two allels when the phenotype being expressed is a blending of two alleles' phenotypes |
| dominant | | containing two difference alleles for the same gene |
| albinism | | containing two of the same allele for the same gene |
| punnett square | | A segment of DNA that codes for a protein |
| sperm | | Cell division involving complete, identical replication of a cell |
| zygote | | a simple graphical method of showing all of the potential combinations of offspring genotypes that can occur and their probability given the parent genotypes |
