Inactivation of this can lead to female cats having fabulous fur, while the males are plain Janes

What is an X chromosome? 

500

Using new technology in the late 1800's, scientists were able to observe these changing shape during cell division and meiosis, and noticed them taking on an X shape

What are chromosomes

500

This scientist was able to successfully show that embryos in sea urchins would not develop in the absence of chromosomes

Who is Boveri?

500

What is DNA pol I

500

DNA runs 5' to 3' in this fashion

What is antiparallel

600

This results in one gamete that is n-1, one gamete is n+1, and two gametes are n

What is nondisjunction in meiosis 2? (slide 19, ch 13)

What is BCR-ABL 

600

Results from the fly experiments were gathered and mulled over by Alfred Sturtevant, who created the first this

What is a chromosome map?

600

The green arrow is pointing at this enzyme that must synthesize DNA starting at 3' end of the primer, and goes in the 5' - 3' direction


What is DNA pol III

600
