Reproductive Strategies
This is the term for tissue being pinched off an organism to grow a completely new organism.
What is Budding.
This is an acronym for the sequence of phases in the cell cycle.
What is I-PMAT
Deoxyribonucleic Acid is commonly known as this.
What is a DNA.
If two flowers are different colors are cross pollinated and the resulting offspring have flowers with both colors it is an example of this.
What is Co-Dominance.
This represents a female carrier in a pedigree.
What is a half shaded circle?
This cellular process is responsible for asexual reproduction.
What is Mitosis
This is the term for the four daughter cells that are produced from a single parent cell in the cellular process of Meiosis.
What are Gametes.
This is the structure or shape of DNA.
What is a Double helix.
This is the genotype of two healthy parents who have had a child with a genetic disease.
What is Heterozygous.
This represents a male who expresses a trait in question on a pedigree chart.
What is a fully shaded square?
These are the two cellular processes responsible for sexual reproduction.
What are Meiosis and Fertilization
This is the amount of chromosomes Gametes have as compared to their parent cell.
What is one half.
These are sections of DNA that contain the code for traits.
What are Genes.
This is the type of allele which are the cause for genetic disorders.
What is a recessive allele.
This is calculated by a punnet square
what is the probability of the resulting genotypes in offspring?
This is the method of reproduction which will produce an offspring which is will never have the exact DNA as their parents.
What is sexual reproduction
In this phase of the cell cycle when chromosomes are formed.
What is Prophase.
These are cell structures that carry the genetic material that is copied and passed from generation to generation of cells.
What are Chromosomes?
These diagrams are often used to determine the mode of inheritance (dominate, recessive, etc.) of genetic diseases.
What are Pedigrees
What a scientist may use a pedigree chart for when studying a specific trait in a population of mice. (or any other animal of course)
What is selective breeding?
This is the reproductive strategy which will produce offspring with DNA identical to their parent.
Asexual reproduction
This is the cellular process which divides the cytoplasm of a cell resulting in the splitting of one cell into two cells.
What is Cytokinesis.
The gene combination an organism contains is known as this.
What is the genotype?
This is a type of gene expression not observed by Mendel in which multiple genes determine the expression of a trait such as skin color.
What is a polygenetic trait.
This is why genetic disorders are more prevalent in the male population of our species.
What is that males only have one copy of the X chromosome and one copy and the Y chromosome so if they get a bad allele they don't get the chance to get another healthy dominate allele.
