Alternate form of a gene
gene variantSlide3
autosomeSlide4
Chromosome that does NOT determine sex
#1-22 in humansSlide5
chromosomeSlide6
Structure made of DNA and special proteins; carries genesSlide7
DNASlide8
Deoxyribonucleic acid;
sequences in DNA are codes for making proteinsSlide9
DominantSlide10
Allele that exerts effect with just one copy;
“overpowers” recessive geneSlide11
geneSlide12
Sequence of DNA that has a known function;
encodes for a protein or
turns another gene on/offSlide13
