Apoptosis
Robert Pritchett
In multicellular organisms, cells that are
no longer needed or are a threat to the
organism are destroyed by a tightly
regulated cell suicide process known as
programmed cell death,
Pedigree Chart
Definition: a genealogical table,
chart, list, or record, especially of a
purebred animal.
Heterozygous Advantage
A heterozygote advantage (heterozygous advantage)
describes the case in which the heterozygote genotype
has a higher relative fitness than either the
homozygote dominant or homozygote recessive
genotype. The specific case of heterozygote advantage
due to a single locus is known as over-dominance.
Lamarck
by: jasmine watson brown
Lamarck is best known for his Theory
of Inheritance of Acquired Characteristics,
first presented in 1801 (Darwin's first book
dealing with natural selection was published
in 1859)
Homologous chromosomes
by. Johnelle joe
A couple of homologous chromosomes
are a set of one maternal chromosome
and one paternal chromosome that pair
up with each other inside a cell during
meiosis. These copies have the same
genes in the same locations, or loci.
Hermaphroditic
1.In biology, a hermaphrodite is an organism
that has reproductive organs normally
associated with both male and female sexes.
Many taxonomic groups of animals (mostly
invertebrates) do not have separate sexes.
Rickets
Nick Sargent
Rickets Definition
• Rickets is defective mineralization or
calcification of bones before epiphyseal
closure in immature mammals due to
deficiency or impaired metabolism.
Purine
Austin Staton
• heterocyclic aromatic
organic compound,
which consists of a
pyrimidine ring fused
to an imidazole ring.
Multiple allele: Heather
• an allele of a genetic locus having more than
two allelic forms within a population.
Turners Syndrome
Maya Nix
a genetic defect in which affected women have only one X chromosome, causing
developmental abnormalities and infertility.
Chromosomal crossover
Homologous recombination is the
process by which two chromosomes,
paired up during prophase 1 of
meiosis, exchange some distal portion
of their DNA.
Cytochrome c
• primarily responsible for the generation of ATP
via electron transport.
• Electron Transport Cytochrome c is primarily
known as an electron-carrying mitochondrial
protein. It plays a vital role in cellular oxidations
in both plants and animals. It cytochrome oxidase

Apoptosis – cell pops
Amanda Rodriguez
Cladogram by Liam Slaweski
• A diagram used in cladistics which shows
relations among organisms
Biodiversity
The variety of
different types of
life on earth. It is
the measure of the
variety of
organisms in
different
ecosystems
Arianna Jackson
• is a chromosome that is not a sex
chromosome). Autosomes appear
in pairs whose members have the
same form but differ from other
pairs in a diploid cell.
By: Rachel
Stomackin
Gametes
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.
Co-dominance
• a relationship
between two
versions of a
gene.

Fitness
(evolution)
Gabby Saxton
Period-8
• Fitness (evolution) is a central idea in
evolutionary theory. It can be defined either
with respect to a genotype or to a phenotype
in a given environment. In either case, it
describes individual reproductive success and
is equal to the average contribution to the
gene pool of theDefinition
next generation that is made
by an average individual of the specified
genotype or phenotype
KARYOTYPE
The number and visual appearance of the
chromosomes in the cell nuclei of an
organism or species.
Incomplete Dominance
Blending/intermediate inheritance in which one allele for a
specific trait is not completely expressed over its paired
allele. This results in a third phenotype in which the
expressed physical trait is a combination of the dominant
and recessive phenotypes.
