Chromosomes - found in the Nucleus of a cell contain a code, DNA - the instructions to make PROTEINS that control an organism’s traits/characteristics and body processes., Nucleus - Where DNA is held, Gene - all the codons needed to make all the amino acids for ONE entire protein. This protein then makes a trait by itself or in combination with other proteins., Recessive - allele is hidden in a generation, Dominate - covers up the hidden allele, Allele - a variation of a gene that determines a specific trait, Heterozygous - 2 different alleles, Homozygous - same alleles , Mutation - a permanent change in a gene or chromosome, Sexual Reproduction - 2 parents- offspring different from parent, Asexual Reproduction - 1 parent- offspring exactly the same of the parent , Punnett Square - a simple chart used in genetics to predict the possible genotypes of offspring from a cross between two parents, Gamate - reproductive cell of an animal or plant, Codon  - Every 3 steps on the DNA molecule model makes up one Amino Acid, Mitosis - process of cell division where one cell splits into two identical daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell, Meiosis - cell division that produces gametes (sex cells like sperm and egg) with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell, Handrains of the DNA is made up of - Sugar (deoxyribose sugar) & phosphate, Steps of the DNA is made up of - airs of nucleotides or nitrogen bases. A – T C – G, Adenine (A) pairs with - Thymine (T), Cytosine (C) pairs with - Guanine (C), Amino Acid - building blocks of proteins. Lots of amino acids join together to create a protein, Nuelcotied - base + sugar/phosphate backbone,
