It's only a phase
The stage where the nuclear membrane begins to reappear and the cell begins to divide.
What is telophase?
Half of a number of chromosomes
What is haploid? Or n or 23
The name of the science who is referred to ask the "Father of Genetics." He experimented with pea plants.
Who is Gregor Mendel?
The type of cell division that only occurs in body cells.
What is mitosis?
The number of chromosomes in human body cells.
What is 46? (or 23 pairs)
The stage of cell division where the nuclear membrane dissolves, chromosomes condense, and spindle fibers for at the poles.
What is prophase?
Double the number of chromosomes
What is diploid? or 2n or 46
A square diagram that is used to predict the genotypes of a particular cross or breeding experiment.
What is a punnett square?
This type of cell division occurs in the gametes only.
What is meiosis?
The number of X chromosomes present in a male karyotype.
What is one?
The stage of cell division where the chromosomes align at the middle of the cell.
What is metaphase?
1n
What is haploid?
Term used for having two different alleles of a particular gene. Example: Rr
What is heterozygous?
The term used to describe reproductive cells.
What are gametes?
Two identical copies of the same chromosome formed by DNA replication, attached to each other by a structure called the centromere.
What are sister chromatids?
The stage of cell division where spindle fibers shorten and pull the chromosomes apart. Chromosomes then move AWAY to opposite sides of the cell.
What is anaphase?
The percent chance that the offspring of an individual that is homozygous dominant and an individual that is homozygous recessive will be heterozygous for a given trait.
What is 100%
Term used for having two of the same allele for a particular gene. Example: AA or aa
Homozygous
Term used to describe body cells. Example: liver cells, brain cells, etc.
What are somatic cells?
Members of a pair of chromosomes - one from the mother and one from the father.
What is homologous chromosomes?
The cell spends majority of it's life in this stage.
What is interphase?
Is the following an example of complete dominance, incomplete dominance, or co-dominance?
The offspring of an individual with blue hair and an individual with red hair has purple hair.
Incomplete Dominance
A chart that shows the presence or absence of a trait within a family across generations .
What is a pedigree chart?
The amount of daughter cells that result from meiosis.
What are 4 daughter cells?
The fusion of the gametes that produces a diploid zygote.
What is fertilization?
