he study of genes, genetic variation, and heredity in living organisms.
What is genetics
100
who was the founder of genetics
who is gregor mendel
100
One dominant and one recessive gene (hybrid)
What is Heterozygote
100
a chromosome involved with determining the sex of an organism
What is Sex Chromosome
100
When cells divide, their full genome is copied and each daughter cell inherits one copy.
What is mitosis
200
the passing on of physical or mental characteristics genetically from one generation to another.
What is Heredity
200
Who was the founder of human heredity
Who is Charles Darwin
200
Both genes of a pair are the same (purebred)
What is Homozygous
200
controlled by genes located on autosomes; a pattern of transmission of ALLELES that are located on AUTOSOMES, i.e. not on sex chromosomes
What is Autosomal inheritance
200
Gene's show their function through
What is a protein
300
Gene that prevents the other gene from "showing"
What is Dominant
300
What did gregor use as a tool to find genetic variation
What is a pea plant
300
Organisms inherit genetic material from their parents in the form
homologous chromosome
300
When one allele is NOT completely dominant over another (they blend)
What is Incomplete dominance
300
between two given points on the chromosome is related to the distance between the points
What is chrome crossover
400
Gene that does NOT "show" even though it is present
What is Recesssive
400
What year did charles darwin found human heredity
What is 1859,
400
What type of cell does mitosis create?
What is diploid
400
When both alleles are expressed; a heterozygous individual expresses both simultaneously without any blending
What is Codominance
400
Genes on chromosomes are separated independently of one another when the gametes are formed. This results in different combinations of genes in each gamete, allowing for genetic variation
What is independent assortment
500
Combination of genes an organism has (actual gene makeup
What is Genotype
500
where was the scientist who had a variation of heredity
What is Antiquity
500
are enzymes specialized in the cutting of DNA fragments, which each have an effect on specific sites of the DNA molecule.
What is enzymes
500
is a mating between two individuals with different alleles at one genetic locus of interest
What is Monohybrid cross
500
They may contain the genes responsible for bacterial resistance to some antibiotics as well as the genes for producing proteins that cause virulence (pathogenic hostility).
