The glossary covers mitosis, heredity, gene, allele, dominant allele, recessive allele, Punnett square, phenotype, and genotype. Each term is described in plain language and focuses on how chromosomes and DNA determine traits, how alleles express differently, and how observable characteristics and genetic makeup are distinguished through inheritance patterns.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/exam/","Exam",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/genetics-vocabulary-chapter-7-key-terms-and-definitions/411967/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/genetics-vocabulary-chapter-7-key-terms-and-definitions/411967.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"jay","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-11-06","2026-09-28",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":55},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",9,{"@type":57,"mainEntity":58},"FAQPage",[59,65,69],{"name":60,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":62},"What is mitosis and what does it produce?","Question",{"text":63,"@type":64},"Mitosis is the process in which a cell’s nucleus divides into two new nuclei, each with the same number of chromosomes.","Answer",{"name":66,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":67},"How do dominant and recessive alleles differ?",{"text":68,"@type":64},"A dominant allele’s trait always shows up when the allele is present.
