Inheritance matching

Task

Cut out the statements and match them to the keywords.

gamete Offspring which are genetically identical to the parent

stem cells Each one codes for a different protein

chromosomes When the alleles of a particular gene are different

clone A haploid reproductive cell such as sperm or pollen

These alleles are only expressed when inherited from


gene
both parents

Human body cells contain 46 of these (except for red


allele
blood cells)

This genetic disorder affects cell membranes and is


heterozygous
caused by a recessive allele

double helix Undifferentiated cells found in plants and animals

All the genetic material of an organism including


recessive
mitochondrial DNA

Is what a particular trait actually looks like i.e. how it is


phenotype
expressed

cystic fibrosis Different versions of the same gene

genome The physical structure of DNA
