This type of mitosis is when a new organism grows on its parent and then breaks off.
What is budding?
100
The reason two right handed parents can have a child that is left handed.
What is both parents have the recessive allele for left handedness (Rr)?
100
Part of chromosome that controls traits.
What are genes?

A pure dominant red rose is crossed with a pure recessive blue rose to result in this offspring's percentage of coloring.
What is red?
100
Cytosine always pairs with this.
What is guanine?
200
This is when an organism can replace lost or injured body parts.
What is regeneration?

DOUBLE JEOPARDY!!! This question is worth 200 POINTS!!! Is it true that offspring produced by sexual reproduction show more variations than offspring from asexual reproduction? Why or why not?
What is Yes- it is true because they will receive chromosomes from two sets of parents versus one.

This genotype, mm, is described as this.
What is homozygous recessive?

For apples, red is the dominant color over green. This is the expected apple coloring and percentages from a cross between two hybrid red apples.
What is 75% red and 25% green? (GG, Gg, Gg, gg)
200
It is always paired with adenine.
What is thymine?
300
DOUBLE JEOPARDY!! This question is worth 600 POINTS!! Types of cells Mitosis occurs in.
What are bone and muscle cells?

Explain meiosis using the following words: gametes, 23, 46, and fertilization.
What is the gametes, or sperm and egg cells, are produced by the process of meiosis. An egg cell and a sperm cell have 23 chromosomes each. When the sperm and egg join in the process of fertilization, the result is a new individual with a full set of 46 chromosomes.
300
Alternating sides in a DNA molecule.
What are sugar and phosphate?
300
DOUBLE JEOPARDY!! This question is worth 600 POINTS!! For apples, neither green nor yellow are dominant over the other. They show incomplete dominance, or a blend of two colors. Resulting hybrid apples would then be light green. Give the phenotypes of a cross between a green and light green apple.
What is 50% green and 50% light green? GG x Gy (GG, GG, Gy, Gy)
300
The term for a fertilized egg cell.
What is a zygote?
400
An advantage of cloning.
Answers will vary! One possible.. What is the process in which gardeners develop crops/plants by cutting stems, leaves, or roots and replanting?
400
The term that refers to the sperm or the egg cell.
What is a gamete?
400
A, B, and O Blood Types are caused by this.
What are multiple alleles?

In mice, pure black eyes (BB) are dominant. The red gene is recessive (bb). This is the eye color of their offspring.
What is black?
400
This is the study of how traits are passed from parents to offsprings.
What is genetics?
500
DOUBLE JEOPARDY!! This question is worth 1000 POINTS!! Mitosis- it results in this many nuclei with this type of genetic information (same or different??).
What is two nuclei with the same genetic information?
500
Different ways that a trait appears.
What is a variation?
500
Define genotype and phenotype.
What is: Genotype is a gene combination for a trait, and Phenotype is a physical expression of a trait (eye color, hair color, etc.)
500
DOUBLE JEOPARDY!! This question is worth 1000 POINTS!! In mice, pure black eyes (BB) are dominant. The red gene is recessive (bb). They have two offspring. If the offspring mated, this would be the possible genotypes and phenotypes for their children.
What is BB, Bb, Bb, and bb? BB 25%, Bb 50% and bb 25% = 75% black eyes and 25% red eyed.
