The three phases of Interphase.
What are G1, S, and G2?
What are Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase?
_________ refers to "half" of the total chromosome number in a cell.
What is Haploid?
Known as the "father of Genetics."
Who is Gregor Mendel?

What is Binary Fission?
The majority of the the cell cycle is spent in ___________.
What is Interphase?
What is Metaphase?
A pair of chromosomes that look alike and have the same length and centromere position, paired together in a karyotype.
What are homologous chromosomes?
A _______ allele will mask the expression of a _______ allele.
Alternative forms of a gene.
What are alleles?
Two identical chromatids are referred to as _____ _________.

The phase following Mitosis where the cytoplasm halves and you are left with two identical daughter cells.
What is Cytokinesis?
The process where chromosomes come together and line up side-by-side.
What is synapsis?
___________ refers to an organism that has two identical alleles (aa or AA), while _________ refers to an organism that has two different alleles.
What are Homozygous and Heterozygous?
The "pause" between Meiosis I and Meiosis II.
What is Interkinesis?
Programmed cell death.
What is apoptosis?

What are Cleavage Furrow and Cell Plate?
The two ways of achieving genetic recombination in Meiosis.
What are Crossing Over and Independent Assortment?
The alleles an individual receives at birth, versus the physical appearance of an individual.
What are Genotype and Phenotype?
