| 9820081564 | Anaphase | the stage of meiotic or mitotic cell division in which the chromosomes move away from one another to opposite poles of the spindle. | 0 | |
| 9820089703 | autosomal | is a term used in genetic genealogy to describe DNA which is inherited from the autosomal chromosomes. An autosome is any of the numbered chromosomes, as opposed to the sex chromosomes. Humans have 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes | 1 | |
| 9820100937 | cancer | the disease caused by an uncontrolled division of abnormal cells in a part of the body. | 2 | |
| 9820106734 | cell cycle |  | 3 | |
| 9820122486 | cell division |  | 4 | |
| 9820159032 | centrioles | a minute cylindrical organelle near the nucleus in ANIMAL cells, occurring in pairs and involved in the development of spindle fibers in cell division. |  | 5 |
| 9820185905 | chromosome | a threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes. |  | 6 |
| 9820365986 | co dominance | is a form of dominance wherein the alleles of a gene pair in a heterozygote are fully expressed. This results in offspring with a phenotype that is neither dominant nor recessive. |  | 7 |
| 9820373691 | crossing over | the exchange of genes between homologous chromosomes, resulting in a mixture of parental characteristics in offspring. |  | 8 |
| 9820387366 | cyclin dependent kinase | any of a number of proteins associated with the cycle of cell division that are thought to initiate certain processes of mitosis. | 9 | |
| 9820477163 | cytokineses | the cytoplasmic division of a cell at the end of mitosis or meiosis, bringing about the separation into two daughter cells. | 10 | |
| 9820483290 | diploid | containing two complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent. | 11 | |
| 9820485930 | dominant | is a relationship between alleles of one gene, in which the effect on phenotype of one allele masks the contribution of a second allele at the same locus. | 12 | |
| 9820497818 | F1 Generation | the first filial generation of offspring | 13 | |
| 9820574348 | fertilization | involving the fusion of male and female gametes to form a zygote. | 14 | |
| 9820583008 | gamete | 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. | 15 | |
| 9820586822 | genotype | he genetic constitution of an individual organism |  | 16 |
| 9820597352 | haploid | having a single set of unpaired chromosomes |  | 17 |
| 9820615274 | heterozygous |  | 18 | |
| 9820644981 | homozygous |  | 19 | |
| 9820650699 | incomplete dominance | ne allele for a specific trait is not completely expressed over its paired allele. |  | 20 |
| 9820659208 | independent assortment | describes how different genes separate from one another when reproductive cells develop. |  | 21 |
| 9821167337 | homologous chromosome | The cell has two sets of each chromosome; one of the pair is derived from the mother and the other from the father. | | 22 |
| 9821178256 | interphase | Cell at rest |  | 23 |
| 9821186739 | meiosis | a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell, as in the production of gametes and plant spores. | 24 | |
| 9821305605 | metaphase |  | 25 | |
| 9821308400 | mitosis |  | 26 | |
| 9821312673 | nuclear division | either a diploid (2N) or haploid (N) eukaryotic cell whereby two daughter nuclei are produced that are genetically identical to the parent nucleus | 27 | |
| 9821415944 | phenotype | the set of observable characteristics of an individual resulting from the interaction of its genotype with the environment. | 28 | |
| 9821424141 | prophase | the first stage of cell division, before metaphase, during which the chromosomes become visible as paired chromatids and the nuclear envelope disappears. The first prophase of meiosis includes the reduction division. | 29 | |
| 9821427006 | recessive | relating to or denoting heritable characteristics controlled by genes that are expressed in offspring only when inherited from both parents, i.e., when not masked by a dominant characteristic inherited from one parent. | 30 | |
| 9821453365 | recombination | the rearrangement of genetic material, especially by crossing over in chromosomes or by the artificial joining of segments of DNA from different organisms. | 31 | |
| 9821460897 | segregation | the action or state of setting someone or something apart from other people or things or being set apart. | 32 | |
| 9821464865 | sex chromosome | a chromosome involved with determining the sex of an organism, typically one of two kinds. | 33 | |
| 9821472086 | sex-linked | of a gene or heritable characteristic) carried by a sex chromosome. | 34 | |
| 9821492598 | somatic cell | any cell of a living organism other than the reproductive cells. | 35 | |
| 9821494622 | telophase |  | 36 | |
