Vocabulary

Apoptosis Robert Pritchett

In multicellular organisms, cells that are no longer needed or are a threat to the

organism are destroyed by a tightly regulated cell suicide process known as

programmed cell death,

Pedigree Chart

Definition: a genealogical table, chart, list, or record, especially of a

purebred animal.

Heterozygous AdvantageA heterozygote advantage (heterozygous advantage) describes

the case in which the heterozygote genotype has a higher relative fitness than either the homozygote dominant or

homozygote recessive genotype. The specific case of heterozygote advantage due to a single locus is known as over-

dominance.

Lamarckby: jasmine watson brown

Lamarck is best known for his Theory of Inheritance of Acquired Characteristics,

first presented in 1801 (Darwin's first book dealing with natural selection was

published in 1859)

Homologous chromosomesby. Johnelle joe

A couple of homologous chromosomes are a set of one maternal chromosome and one

paternal chromosome that pair up with each other inside a cell during meiosis.

These copies have the same genes in the same locations, or loci.

Hermaphroditic 1.In biology, a hermaphrodite is an organism that has reproductive organs normally associated with both male and female sexes. Many taxonomic groups of animals (mostly invertebrates) do not have separate sexes.

RicketsNick Sargent

Rickets Definition

• Rickets is defective mineralization or calcification of bones before epiphyseal closure in immature mammals due to deficiency or impaired metabolism.

Purine Austin Staton

• heterocyclic aromatic organic compound, which consists of a pyrimidine ring fused to an imidazole ring.

Multiple allele: Heather

• an allele of a genetic locus having more than two allelic forms within a population.

Turners Syndrome

a genetic defect in which affected women have only one X chromosome, causing developmental abnormalities and infertility.

Chromosomal crossoverHomologous recombination is the

process by which two chromosomes, paired up during prophase 1 of

meiosis, exchange some distal portion of their DNA.

Cytochrome c

• primarily responsible for the generation of ATP via electron transport.

• Electron Transport Cytochrome c is primarily known as an electron-carrying mitochondrial protein. It plays a vital role in cellular oxidations in both plants and animals. It cytochrome oxidase

• Apoptosis – cell pops

• Amanda Rodriguez

Cladogram by Liam Slaweski

• A diagram used in cladistics which shows relations among organisms

Biodiversity

The variety of different types of life on earth. It is the measure of the variety of organisms in different ecosystemsArianna Jackson

is a chromosome that is not a sex chromosome). Autosomes appear in pairs whose members have the same form but differ from other pairs in a diploid cell.

Autosome (Body)– Autosomal chromosomes (44X for humans)

By: Rachel Stomackin

Gametes

a mature haploid male or female germ cell that is able to unite with another of the opposite sex

in sexual reproduction to form a zygote.

Co-dominance

• a relationship between two versions of a gene.

a boy is born with an extra

copy of the X chromosome.

Fitness (evolution)

Gabby SaxtonPeriod-8

Definition

• Fitness (evolution) is a central idea in evolutionary theory. It can be defined either with respect to a genotype or to a phenotype in a given environment. In either case, it describes individual reproductive success and is equal to the average contribution to the gene pool of the next generation that is made by an average individual of the specified genotype or phenotype

KARYOTYPE

The number and visual appearance of the chromosomes in the cell nuclei of an organism or species.

Incomplete Dominance Blending/intermediate inheritance in which one allele for a specific trait is not completely expressed over its paired allele. This results in a third phenotype in which the expressed physical trait is a combination of the dominant and recessive phenotypes.
