Cell Division
These were two types of cell division discussed this year.
What is Mitosis and Meiosis?
This is what DNA stands for.
What is deoxyribonucleic acid?
This is how we write/represent dominant alleles when writing genotypes.
What are capital letters?
This scientists provided the theory of evolution by natural selection.
Who is Charles Darwin?
These are the types of plants Mendel used during his genetics experiments.
What are pea plants?
This is the phase of cell division where DNA replicates.
What is Interphase?
This is the process of DNA making a copy of itself.
What is DNA Replication?
When a red flower and white flower come together and produce a flower with pink petals, this is an example of ________________ type of inheritance.
What is incomplete dominance?
This is the ability of organisms with more desirable traits to survive, reproduce, and pass those traits onto their offspring.
What is natural selection?
This is the structure of a DNA molecule.
What is a double helix?
This structure is responsible for the separation of chromosomes.
What are spindle fibers?
This is the process of taking a DNA sequence and turning it into mRNA in the nucleus.
What is transcription?
A family has 6 children - 5 daughters and 1 son. This is the chance that their 7th child is a son.
What is 1/2 or 50%?
This scientist believed organisms could acquire traits over their lifetime and pass those down to their offspring, therefore having a species change over time.
Who is Jean Baptiste Lamarck?
This is the phenotypic ratio of a dihybrid cross.
What is 9:3:3:1?
This type of cell division produces body cells (skin cells, muscle cells etc)
What is Mitosis?
This is the base that replaces thymine when creating RNA.
What is uracil (U)?
This is the probability of two heterozygous parents (Hh x Hh) producing a homozygous recessive offspring.
What is 1/4 or 25%
These are the structures that are similar in form/structure but serve different functions, which indicates a common ancestor.
What are homologous structures?
This is the structure of a nucleotide.
What is a sugar, phosphate, and nitrogenous base?
This is the phase in Meiosis where tetrads form.
What is Prophase I?
This molecule is responsible for bringing amino acids to the ribosome during translation.
What is tRNA?
This is the only way a son could receive a trait on the Y chromosome.
What is from father to son?
If most of the amino acid sequences are the same between two organisms, it means this sequence is also equally the same.
Organisms that mate and produce fertile offspring belong to this same taxa (group).
What is a species?
