Genotype
The genetic makeup of a cell, an organism.
1 of 14
Phenotype
composite of organisms observable characteristics or traits.
2 of 14
Gamete
Reproductice cell that pairs up with another gamete during reproduction.
3 of 14
Nucleotide
complex chemical made up of an organic base, a sugar and a phosphate. What DNA and RNA are made up of.

6 of 14
Heterozygous
conditions in which alleles of a particular gene are different.
7 of 14
Dominant allele
term applied to an allele that is always expressed in the phenotype of an organism.
8 of 14
Recessive allele
condition in which the effect of an allele is apparent and in the phenotype of a diploid organism only in the presence of another identical allele.
9 of 14
Haploid
term referring to cells that contain only a single copy of each chromosome.
10 of 14
Diploid(2n)
Term applied to cells in which the nucleus contains two sets of chromosomes.
11 of 14

condition in which both alleles for one gene in a heterozygous organism contribute to the phenotype.
12 of 14
Mutation
A change in the sequence of bases in DNA.
13 of 14
