  • Meiosis
    Cell division that creates gametes (sperm and eggs) which have half the number of chromosomes
  • different version of a gene, each version occupies the same position (loci) on homologous chromosomes.
    Allele
  • Mitosis
    cell division that occurs in all cells except gametes. For growth and repair. .
  • variation
    The differences among parents and their offspring, among individuals of a population or between different species.

    trait
  • A permanent change in the DNA sequence of the bases of a gene.
    mutation
  • Meiosis
    Cell division that creates gametes (sperm and eggs) which have half the number of chromosomes
  • A length of DNA that codes for a particular characteristic (protein) E.g. Eye colour.
    gene
  • pure breeding
    A homologous genotype. It only has one type of gene. Either dominant or recessive.
