-Cell Cycle (Interphase, Mitosis, Cytokinesis), Heredity Notes: Quiz Friday, 3/28
  • 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.
