Cell Cycle
The longest stage of the cell cycle
What is interphase?
The stage in the cell cycle mitosis occurs in
What is M phase?
The term used to describe cells with half the amount of chromosomes a somatic cell has
What is haploid?
Some alleles are dominant while others are recessive; an organism with at least one dominant allele will display the effect of the dominant allele
What is the law of dominance?
The stage of the cell cycle responsible for DNA replication
What is S phase?
What is prophase?
The type of cells in which meiosis occurs
what are gametes?
During gamete formation, the alleles for each gene segregate from each other so that each gamete carries only one allele for each gene.
What is the law of segregation?
The three phases of the cell cycle that make up interphase
What happens when after mitosis
What is cytokinesis?
Chromosomes which contain the same genes in the same order along their arms.
Genes of different traits can segregate independently during the formation of gametes.
What is the law of independent assortment?
The phase of the cell cycle where the cell primarily grows
What is G1 phase?
the stage of mitosis where the sister chromatids become separated
What is anaphase?
When DNA randomly switched between homologous pairs creating genetic variation.
What is crossing over?
When the phenotypes of the two genes blend together to create a new phenotype which is a mix of the two.
What is incomplete dominance?
What is G2?
The stages of Mitosis
What are prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase?
The phases of meiosis.
What are prophase I, metaphase I, anaphase I, telophase I & cytokinesis, prophase II, metaphase II, anaphase II, telophase II & cytokinesis?
When the two parent phenotypes are expressed together in the offspring.
What is codominance?
