| Ribosomes | Organelle where proteins are made. |
| Unicellular | Organisms made of one cell. |
| Multicellular | Organisms containing many cells. |
| Sexual reproduction | Male and female gametes unite to produce a unique organism with a complete set of chromosomes. |
| Asexual reproduction | Production of offspring from a single parent |
| Sex-linked traits | females can cary the trait and pass it on to offsprings without having the trait. |
