Explanation:
Genetics can be defined as the scientific study of hereditary in living organisms such as humans, animals and plants.
Heredity refers to the transfer of traits (specific characteristics) from the parent of a living organism to her offspring through sexual reproduction or asexual production. Some examples of hereditary traits are dimples, tongue rolling, baldness, handedness, freckles, curly hair, color blindness, height, etc.
The various terminologies used in the field of genetics includes;
1. Sex chromosomes: The chromosomes that determine your biological sex -X and Y.
2. Genotype: The set of alleles an organism inherits.
3. Allele: Versions of a gene that arise through mutation.
4. Meiosis: Cell divisions that occurs in sex cells.
5. Gametes: Egg and sperm cells.
6. Genome: The complete set of genes in an organism.
7. Mitosis: Cell division that occurs in all body cells.
8. Homologous Chromosomes: The matching chromosomes a person inherits from their mother and father.
9. Crossing over: A process that increases genetic diversity during meiosis.
10. Gremlins cells: Cells that divide to produce gametes.
11. Zygote: The cell formed when an egg and sperm meet
12. Somatic cells: Body cells (hair, skin, brain, bone, etc.)
13. Independent assortment: The random lining-up of homologous pairs at the cell's middle.
