Cards in this deck (6)
- 1HeterozygousHaving two different alleles for a given gene.
- 2HomozygousHaving two identical alleles for a given gene.
- 3RecessiveAllele that is present in the genome but is phenotypically expressed only in the homozygous form; masked by a dominant allele when heterozygous.
- 4NucleosomeBasic structural unit or eukaryotic chromosomes consisting of about 200 base pairs of DNA associated with an octamer of histones.
- 5DominantAllele that determines how the trait will appear in a organism, whether present in the heterozygous or homozygous form.
- 6Prokaryotic ChromosomesCircular naked DNA.
Attached to a central scaffold, supercoiled by isomers to form a compact nucleoid.

Only one copy of genes.
