genetic material - DNA, eukaryotic cells - cells contain their DNA inside a nucleus, prokaryotic cells - cells contain their DNA free floating within the cell because they do not have a nucleus, traits - specific characteristics based on genetics, genes - found in small sections of the DNA and are the basic physical and functional unit of heredity, gene expression - when a trait is seen based on the code on the gene, reproduce - process by which new individual organisms – "offspring" – are produced from their "parent" or parents, heredity - pass on their traits to their offspring or next generation, phenotype - the actual trait expressed, genotype - the presence of a gene in the DNA, asexual reproduction - one parent produces offspring, genetically identical to parent; uniform offspring, sexual reproduction - requires 2 gametes (male and female sex cells); produce offspring genetically diverse; they are not completely like either parent, genetic variation - the difference in DNA among individuals or the differences between populations among the same species, artificial selection/selective breeding - results when humans choose organisms with particular characteristics to breed together and produce offspring with desired traits, natural selection - process in which organisms that are better suited for an environment tend to survive and reproduce, adaptation - is a trait (structural, physiological, or behavioral) that improves an organism’s ability to survive in its environment,
