Telomeres
What is chromatin?
DNA and the proteins that keep it wound

How do you know if someone has an irregular set of chromosomes?
Create and then read a karyotype
Look at the diagram

Anaphase I
What pair of organelles controls the creation of the mitotic spindle in animal cells?

How does Meiosis lead to genetic variation?
Random assortment and cross over
Look at the diagram
Prophase 1
Describe Nondisjunction and provide a diagram to show how it happens
Mr. Bonnah will decide
What organisms experience polyploidy, what are some advantages of this?
Plants, more versions of an allele equals more diversity, allows them to choose the "good" versions of the genes over bad ones they might have.
