| Nuclear Membrane | surrounds the nucleus and holds it together |
| DNA | a complex chemical that contains information about every part of an organism |
| Genes | segments of DNA; they control |
| Mitosis | the process of cell division that produces new body cells with a complete set of chronosomes |
| Meiosis | the process that forms reproductive cells; in this process, it only contain half the number of chronosomes |
| Sexual Reproduction | reproduction of a male and a female cell |
| Dominant | the factor that determines the trait shown |
| Recessive | the trait that results from the combination of recessive factor |
