- Heredity is the passing of traits from parents to offspring.
- When parents with different traits are bred, dominant traits are always present.
- Recessive traits are not visible in the first generation but reappear in the second generation.
- Chromosomes are one of the structures in a eukaryotic cell found in the nucleus that are made up of DNA and protein.
- Mitosis is the process when cells divide to increase their numbers which results in two daughter cells with identical sets of chromosomes.
- Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm of a cell.
- Homologous chromosomes are pairs of chromosomes that are similar.
- Chromatids are the threadlike strands into which a chromosome divides. Each contains a double helix of DNA.
- Centromere hold together the chromatids.
- Trait is a genetically determined characteristic; examples_attached/detached earlobe, widow's peak, ability to roll tongue.
