Mitosis
What is the first stage of Mitosis?
Prophase
How many and what type of daughter cells does meiosis produce?
4 Haploid cells
What is the law of segregation?
Pair of alleles segregate from each other during meiosis
What is defined as a type of inheritance where two alleles of the same gene are expressed separately, no dominant or recessive ?
Codominance
Which stage of Mitosis involves the puling apart of sister chromatids?
Anaphase
At which stage of meiosis are sister chromatids separated from each other?
Anaphase II
What is the law of independent assortment?
The alleles of two (or more) different genes get sorted into gametes independently of one another
What is defined as when two homozygous parents create a heterozygous individual with blended phenotypes of the two?
Incomplete dominance
In some cells, replicated chromosomes are aligned along the center (equator) of the cell. These particular cells are in which stage of mitosis?
Metaphase
What is a source of variation in asexual reproduction?
Mutation
What is a test cross?
An experimental cross of an individual organism of dominant phenotype but unknown genotype and an organism with a homozygous recessive genotype (and phenotype).
What is defined as when a gene expresses or suppresses another gene based on itself?
Epistasis
Why do chromosomes coil during mitosis?
To allow the chromosomes to move without becoming entangled and breaking
Which of the following best explains how the random alignment of homologous chromosomes during meiosis helps generate varied offspring?
Random alignment increases the number of possible chromosome combinations in the gametes
In the ABO blood group system in humans, if a person of type-B blood has children with a person of type-AB blood, what blood types could their children have?
Type-AB, type-A, and type-B
If a homozygous recessive flower (white) and a homozygous dominant flower cross (red) cross and exhibit codominance, what phenotype is the offspring?
Pink
