Genes
Which cell organelle is home to DNA?
The nucleus
This type of cell division results in gametes.
What is Meiosis?
Some genes can be hidden or covered up by another. These are considered to be-
Recessive
Genes are made of this
What is DNA?
The "resulting cells" of mitosis.
What are daughter cells?
Name two traits that could be inherited from a parent?
Examples: hair color, eye color, height, skin color, freckles, etc...
The two DNA strands of each double helix twist tightly around one another to for this
What is a Chromosome
One is the genetic makeup of a person and the other is the physical trait expressed by the genes in that person.
What are Genotype and Phenotype?
This phase is both the beginning and the end of cell division in mitosis
What is interphase?
A black chicken (BB) is crossed with a black chicken (Bb). What percentage of offspring will be black?
100%
Why does a Punnett Square use capital and lowercase letters?
Capital = Dominant Trait Lower Case = Recessive Trait
Inherited traits that children get from their parents come from these
What are Genes?
This is the name for different versions of genes.
What are alleles?
PMAT
What are prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase?
Having dimples is dominant (D). Not having dimples is recessive. (d) Both parents are heterozygous for the dominant trait. What percentage of the children will NOT have dimples?
25%
How many parents are involved in asexual reproduction?
One
What do we call the genetic make up of the individual, represented by a set of letters?
Genotype
The effect of environmental conditions on our genes and characteristics
What is epigenetics?
In this phase, chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
What is metaphase
Long ears are dominant (E) in rabbits. If one parent is homozygous dominant for the long ear trait and the other homozygous recessive (e), what is the only possible genotype of the offspring?
