These carry instructions that determine a person's traits.
What is a gene?
This is the type of reproduction associated with mitosis.
What is asexual reproduction?
This is the type of reproduction associated with meiosis.
What is sexual reproduction?
Only one of these alleles needs to be present in order to be "seen"/show up.
What is a dominant allele?
This is the model used to predict the possible phenotypes and genotypes of offspring.
What is a Punnett Square?
The part of a gene that gives you a difference or a variance.
What is allele?
This is the correct order of the phases of mitosis.
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, & Telophase (PMAT)
What is the main difference between the chromosome number at the end of mitosis and chromosome number at the end of meiosis?
In mitosis, the chromosome number is the same as the parent, whereas in meiosis, the chromosome number is cut in half.
Traits that are passed down from your parents
What are inherited traits?
What are the two factors that influence the growth of organisms?
What are environmental and genetic factors?
This is the form DNA takes when traits are being passed from one generation to the next.
What is a chromosome?
True or False:
Organisms that use asexual reproduction produce offspring genetically identical to themselves.
True
This event occurs during Metaphase I of meiosis and leads to genetic information switching chromosomes.
What is crossing-over?
Both of these alleles must be present in order for this trait to show up.
What is a recessive allele?
This is the type of plant that Mendel studied when he discovered the laws of genetics.
What are pea plants?
This is where chromosomes found within a cell.
What is the nucleus?
This is the number of cells and type of cells produced from a cell undergoing mitosis.
What are 2 identical diploid cells?
This is the number of cells and type of cells produced from a cell undergoing meiosis.
What are 4 unique haploid cells?
The study of heredity
What is genetics?
This scientist is known as the Father of Genetics.
Who is Gregor Mendel?
The genetic makeup of an organism.
What is genotype?
What is 36 chromosomes?
At the beginning of meiosis, a parent cell has 36 chromosomes. How many will each of the 4 daughter cells have?
What is 18?
Has two identical copies of an allele.
What is homozygous?
In a cross between 2 heterozygous parents (Hh), what would possible genotypic percentages?
What is:
HH -25%
Hh - 50%
hh -25%
