Intro to Genetics
The name of the person who is considered the "Father of Genetics".
The separation of alleles.
The situation where a red flower is mixed with a white flower and they produce a flower with petals of BOTH red and white.
What is codominance?
A cell that contains two sets of homologous chromosomes. (Normal body cells).
What is a diploid cell?
The sea animal that has three hearts and blue blood.
What is an octopus?
Process where male and female reproductive cells are joined to make a new cell.
What is fertilization?
The name of sperm and egg cells that combine during fertilization.
What is gametes?
A situation in which one allele is not completely dominant over another allele.
A cell that contains only a single set of genes. (Gametes)
What is a haploid cell?
The largest organ of the human body.
What is the skin?
The principle that states that some alleles are dominant and others are recessive.
What is principle of dominance?
The probability of getting heads when flipping a coin.
What is a 1/2 of 50% chance?
A situation in which both alleles from the parents are completely expressed.
What is codominance?
True or False. The difference between Meiosis I and Meiosis II is that chromosomes do not replicate before Meiosis I and chromosomes replicate before Meiosis II.
What is false?
The side of the lung that is smaller to make room for the heart.
What is the left lung?
The specific characteristic of an individual.
What is a trait?
The term AND example when there are two identical alleles for a particular gene.
What is homozygous and TT or tt?
An example of codominance.
Miss Ellie's Judgement.
The process in which the number of chromosomes per cell is cut in half through the separation of homologous chromosomes.
What is meiosis?
The sea animal in which the male is the one that gets pregnant and gives birth.
What is a seahorse?
The factor that is passed from parent to offspring and controls one form of a trait.
The definition of phenotype.
What is the physical characteristic of an organism?
A realistic example of incomplete dominance.
Miss Ellie's Judgement.
The phase in Meiosis II where chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.
What is Metaphase II?
The tiny jellyfish that is famous for its ability to return to an earlier stage of its life cycle, almost like becoming a baby again.
