General
100
This is a cell formed when two gamete cells are joined
What is a zygote
100
This stage in mitosis involves genetic material being duplicated
What is S Phase
100
The daughter cells will be 1N, which is also called this
What is haploid
100
This is the molecular unit of heredity of a living organism
What is a gene
100
This is a diagram that is used to predict an outcome of a particular cross or breeding experiment
What is a punnett square
200
Part of the chromosome that links the sister chromatids, at the center
What is a centromere
200
This phase involves the sister chromatids lining in the center of the cell
What is metaphase
200
This is the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes that results in recombinant chromosomes
What is crossing over
200
This is one of a number of alternative forms of the same gene or same genetic locus
What is an allele
200
This is the spread of a cancer or disease from one organ or part to another not directly connected with it
What is metastasis
300
An biological cell forming the body of an organism (not a germ cell)
What is a somatic cell
300
A typical prokaryotic cell will multiply and divide by this process
What is binary fission
300
A set of maternal chromosomes and paternal chromosomes pair up in a cell and are this type of chromosome
What are homologous chromosomes
300
What is a true breeding organism?
What is an organism that always passes down a certain phenotypic trait to its offspring
300
What is the difference between animal cells and plant cells in regards to cytokinesis?
What is animal cells form cleavage furrow, plant cells have a cell plate
400
All the genetic material an organism possesses makes up this
What is a genome
400
In what phases will the sister chromatids not be duplicated?
What is G1 Phase and Telophase/Cytokinesis
400
This principle is how different genes independently separate from one another during the formation of reproductive cells
What is independent assortment
400
This states that allele pairs separate during gamete formation, and randomly unite at fertilization
What is law of segregation
400
What does a testcross accomplish?
What is determining the genotype of an organism with a dominant allele by crossing it with a homozygous recessive
500
What is the difference between a character and a trait?
What is character is a heritable feature that varies among individuals, trait is a variant for character
500
What are the external and internal indicators that a cell will go into the cell cycle?
What is growth factor for external, cyclin and cdk for internal
500
Give the phases and what occurs during meiosis 2

500
A woman with blonde hair (bb) marries a man with brown hair but carries the blonde allele (Bb). If they have 4 children, what will be the phenotypes of all 4 (on average)? What does the genotype of the F1 generation tell you about the P generation (the new grandparents)?
What is 2 will have blonde hair, 2 will have brown hair. Maternal grandparents were either both blonde or carriers, paternal grandparents cannot be determined
500
What is the difference between amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling?
What is amniocentesis: diagnostic test that removes a small amount of fluid from the sac around the baby in the womb chorionic villus sampling: sampling of the chorionic villus (placental tissue) and testing it for chromosomal abnormalities
