DNA- double helix molecule that carries genetic information on chromosomes. Gene- is a section of the DNA. For each pair of chromosomes, the genes for a trait are in the same locations…alleles.
Genotype Phenotype The genotype environment influences the developmental opportunities of the phenotype. I added this slide here from the ch 2 (part 1) slides
Dominant gene- a powerful allele whose characteristics are expressed in the phenotype... Recessive gene- a weak allele whose characteristics are expressed in the phenotype... Polygenic inheritance- the case in which a trait (phenotype) is determined by…
Conception & Fertility/Infertility Mitosis- involves autosomes… Meiosis- the process of cell division that results in the production of gametes. Gametes… Gonads…
Ovulation- release of an egg (ovum) from the ovary… Conception
