a central nervous chord.
What are Vertebrates
Continue
100
One of two or more different genes
that occupy the same place on a
chromosome– allowing genetic
variation.
What is an Allele
Continue
200
Deoxyribonucleic acid; the
molecule that stores and passes on
genetic information– is located in
the nucleus of a cell.
What is DNA
Continue
300
A trait that prevents (or masks) a
recessive trait when present.
What a Dominant Trait
Continue
400
The basic unit of heredity, which is
passed down from parent to
offspring and is transcribed on a
protein chain.
What a Gene
Continue
500
The genetic makeup of an
organism (ex: TT, Tt, tt).
What is a Genotype
Continue
600
The passing down of traits from
parents to offspring.
What is Heredity
Continue
700
Possessing two different alleles of
a given gene (ex: Tt).
What is Heterozygous
Continue
800
Possessing two of the same alleles
of a given gene (ex: TT or tt).

Continue
1000
Building blocks of Nucleic acids;
consists of a sugar base, a
phosphate group and a nitrogen
base (Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine
or Guanine).
What are Nucleotide
Continue
100
Groups of cells that work together
in your body to perform a particular
function.
What is Tissue
Continue
200
Two or more types of tissues
working together to perform a
certain functions.
What are Organs
Continue
300
A group of organs that work
together to carry out major
activities or processes (ex:
digestion, respiration, excretion).
What is a Organ system
Continue
400

800
System which protects the body
from injury, provides a defense
