History of Genetics
It is the study of genes, heredity, and genetic variation.
Genetics
It is referred to as the basic unit of life.
Cell
This type of cell division occurs in somatic cells and ensures the production of two diploid (2n) daughter cells.
Mitosis
It is the scientific name of the plant used by Mendel in his experiment on Classical Genetics.
Pisum sativum
It is a graphic representation of how a trait is passed from parents to offspring.
Pedigree
He is the proponent of the "Theory of Evolution" and introduced the book "On The Origin of Species"
Charles Darwin
These are types of cells that lack membrane-bound organelles, with a genetic material found inside a nucleoid, and thousands of ribosomes.
Prokaryotic Cells
It is the longest stage of the cell cycle where no division occurs. The cell does its usual functions.
Interphase
It refers to the organism's observable characteristics.
Phenotypes
He coined the term "Genetics".
William Bateson
These cell parts are the "vehicles" of the cell because they transport materials such as protein and lipids to the different parts of the cell.
In plant Telophase, due to the absence of a cleavage furrow, portions of the vesicle lines up in the center of the cell which hardens over time. What is this structure called?
Cell Plate
This Mendelian law states that two alleles at a single gene locus separates when the gametes are formed, ensuring each will receive equal amounts.
Law of Segregation
It is a genetic characteristic determined by genes located on the X chromosome, with males being more likely to express them due to having only one X chromosome.
X-linked Trait
He is a geneticist who studied how traits are passed on in fruit flies.
Thomas Hunt Morgan
It refers to the plant cell's "storage" area and also maintains the cell's turgor.
Central Vacuole/ Large Central Vacuole
This occurs when the homologous chromosomes / sister chromatids failed to separate during Anaphase.
Nondisjunction
This type of gene causes an organism to die. Genotypically, double dosage of this allele kills the offspring.
Lethal Gene
It is a characteristic that is passed from father to son because it is caused by a gene on the Y chromosome.
Y-linked Trait
Frederick Griffith
These parts of the cytoskeleton interact with motor molecules which causes movement.
During Cell Cycle Checkpoints, when an abnormality is seen in a particular checkpoint, to avoid further damage and spreading, what mechanism occurs which leads to the cell's programmed death?
Apoptosis
In labrador retrievers, the gene locus that controls pigment of the hair also affects the color of the nose, lips, and eye rims. What is this phenomenon called?
It refers to process of analyzing inheritance in human families, commonly used to trace a certain disease running down the family's blood line.
