Define chromosomes.
What are condensed DNA and proteins, with genetic information?
How many rounds of cell division occur in meiosis?
What are 2 rounds?
Who is the father of genetics?
What is Gregor Mendel
Why did Mendel use pea plants?
What is produce many offspring, have easy-to-see traits, and their breeding can be controlled by self-fertilization or cross-pollination.
What is the name of Mendel's first law?
Law of Segregation
What allele is this? An allele that is covered up when the dominant allele is present.
What is recessive allele?
What happens in meiosis 1?
What is homologous double stranded chromosomes sperate from each other.
What are the first things used to study genetics?
What is pea plants.
What are punnett squares used for?
What is figuring out the geneotypes of the child.
What is each parent has two alleles for a trait, but only passes one allele to each offspring through their gametes.
What term is this? An allele that is neither dominant or recessive.
What is incomplete dominance?
Meiosis 1 or 2? Diploid to Haploid.
What is meiosis 1.
What is the ability pea plants possess when they mate with themselves?
What is self polinization.
What goes on the outside of a punnet square?
What is mother and fathers genes.
What is the name of Mendel's second law?
What is law of independent assortment.
What are polygenic traits?
What is produced by 2 or more genes?
Meiosis 1 or 2? Sister chromatids separating from each other.
What is Meiosis 2.
What is genetic linkage.
What is genes located close together on a chromosome tend to be inhereted together.
Define this. Turning off or hiding a gene when a gene is present.
What is epistaisis
Define independent assortment.
Alleles of different genes are distributed into gametes independently of one another.
What term is this? A heterozygote for a recessive disorder.
What is carrier?
What term is this? Non sister chromatids folding over each other, breaking, and exchange genetic material.
What is crossing over.
What is a dihybrid cross?
What is a cross involving 2 traits.
What was the effect of mendel cross pollinating pea plants?
What is organisims inheriting two copies of each gene, one from each parent.
A plant is heterozygous for two traits (RrYy). During meiosis, the alleles for seed shape and seed color separate independently, producing four equally likely gametes: RY, Ry, rY, and ry. Which of Mendel's laws explains this outcome?
What is Law of Independent Assortment.
