Mendel's Peas revealed that each pea plant gets a copy of a trait from each parent, and traits are inherited as discrete units. This is known as
What is The Law of Segregation?
300
A chromosome that controls inheritance for those traits that are not associated with maleness or femaleness.
What is an autosome?
300
A distinguishing characteristic can be inherited.
What is a trait?

A liver cell is
What is diploid?

In a dihybrid cross how many traits are being manipulated?
What is two?

In Mendel's garden, he crossed two heterozygous plants for flower color. Both were Purple flowers Pp..His findings were
What is 3 purple flowers to 1 white flowers?
400
The type of cell division that is involved in producing gametes?
What is meiosis?
400
Two alleles that are the same.
What are homozygous alleles?

In Austin Powers, Mr. Bigglesworth is a hairless cat. This is a recessive trait. Dr. Evil has purchased a Long hair cat to breed with his beloved evil kitty. He does not know the genotype of his new kitty...explain the rationale for a test cross.
If the new kitty has the gene for being hairless there will be hairless kittens. If all the kittens have hair then new kitty was homozygous dominant.

Mendel crossed plants looking at one trait and two traits. These crosses are also called?
What is monohybrid and dihybrid crosses?
500
When two genes are close together on a chromosome and are NOT likely to be crossed over during meiosis.
What is genetic linkage?
500
Mendel's ratio of 9:3:3:1 supported the idea that traits are shuffled about during meiosis.
What is The Law of Independent Assortment?
500
The terms diploid and haploid refer to
What is chromosome number?
