cells of female mammals, representing a highly condensed, inactivated X chromosome.
Base pairs Correct Answer: Pairs of nuleotides that bond the two strands of DNA together
Bidirectional DNA replication Correct Answer: new DNA is synthesized in both directions from
the single origin, creating an expanding replication bubble
Carrier Correct Answer: A person whose genotype includes a gene that is not expressed in the
phenotype.
Cell Cycle Correct Answer: An ordered sequence of events in the life of a eukaryotic cell, from

gene
Dihybrid Cross Correct Answer: a cross in which an experimenter crosses an individual that is
heterozygous for two gene to an individual that is homozygous recessive for the same two genes.
