| The process that seperates DNA fragments by size | gel electrophoresis |
| The branch of science that deals with the direct manipulation of an organism's genes | genetic engineering |
| An agent that cuts DNA in specific places | restriction enzyme |
| Combining a gene of interest with a plasmid to redproduce the needed gene is what type of cloning? | recombinant DNA |
| A listing of all the base pairs of a specicies is | genome |
| A section of DNA that codes for a protein | gene |
| Different forms of a gene | alleles |
| The physical characteristics of an organism are called | phenotype |
| The two alleles for a given gene like Bb are called the person's | genotype |
| A trait that is always seen/expressed when present is called | dominant gene |
| A trait that is masked by the dominant gene is called | recessive gene |
| A genotype possessing identical alleles is called | homozygous |
| A genotype that has different alleles is called | heterozygous |
| Used to determine if an individial has a missing/extra chromosome | karyotype |
| The study of inheritance, heredity, and the idea that we get our traits from our parents is all talking about | genetics |
| Chromosomes #1-22 are called | autosomes |
| Chromosomes #23 are called | sex chromosomes |
| A learning tool used to determine the possible outcomes of a genetic cross | punnett squares |
| The process used to make sex cells | meiosis |
| A chart that traces the inheritance patterns in a family | pedigree |
| What is the difference between a haploid and diploid cell? | A haploid cell has one of each type of chromosomes and a diploid cell has 2 of each type of chromosome |
