When doctors can fix a broken gene. They are still working on this.
Gene therapy
When scientists change genes in the lab to make something stronger or better
Genetic modification
The use of DNA to help solve crimes
Forensic
Accidents that occur when genes are passed down from parent to child
Mutation
The traits you inherit mix and combine in different ways so we all look different from one another
Variation
The complete set of instructions of DNA in the cell.
Genome
This trait will only be seen if you have 2 matching genes of the same trait, like blue eyes.
Recessive
When present, this trait will always be seen, like brown eyes.
Dominant
When certain traits are passed down from 1 generation to the next.
Heredity
Discovered the double helix shape which helped scientists learn even more about DNA
Watson & Crick
The shape of DNA. Looks like a twisted ladder.
Double helix
The brain of the cell. Contains the chromosomes that tell the cell what to do.
Nucleus
Make up of DNA. There are 4 that combine in many different ways
Nucleotide
Father of genetics. He studied pea plants and learned traits were passed down
Gregor Mendel
Specific sequence of DNA that relates to traits like hair or eye color
Allele
Made up of DNA, they tell the cell what to do
Chromosome
The actual code or information about the traits
DNA
Make up of DNA. Carry the information about the specific traits that are passed down.
