1. heterozygous - organisms that have two different alleles for the same gene

2. haploid - a cell that contains only a single set of chromosomes

3. diploid - a cell that contains both sets of homologous chromosomes

4. crossing-over - The chromatids of the homologous chromos cross over each other. The crossed sections of the chromatids are exchanged

5. meiosis - a process in which the number of chromosomes per cell is cut in half through the separation of homologous chromosomes in a diploid cell

chapter talks all about gene formation and how the genes are created and how they are passed down from their parent to their offspring. The formation of genes is called meiosis, where there are eight stages, and these stages all lead up to the formation of a single gene, and this is how they are processed throughout their offspring

1. gene - - An individual’s characteristics are determined by factors that are passed from one parental generation to the next.

2. allele - The different forms of a gene Principle of Dominance TL

3. dominant - If an organism has at least one dominant allele for a trait it will exhibit that form of the trait.

4. recessive - getting certain characteristics that are influenced/controlled by genes that are made known in offspring

5. homozygous - organisms that have two identical alleles for a particular gene
