100
The probability that a flipped coin will come up tails.
What is 50%?
100
Two identical alleles for a particular trait are said to be this.
What is homozygous?
100
If an organism's haploid number is 18, it's diploid number is this.
What is 36?
100
Different forms of a gene.
What are alleles?
100
An organism that has 40 chromosomes in a body cell has this many chromosomes in each gamete.
What is 20?
200
The probability that a gamete produced by a heterozygous individual (Tt) will contain the recessive allele.
What is 50%?
200
A red flower and a white flower produce a pink flower; neither allele is dominant.
What is incomplete dominance?
200
The only haploid cells.
What are gametes?
200
A specific characteristic that can vary from one individual to another.
What is a trait?
200
This is the phase in which crossing-over occurs.
What is Prophase I?
300
The probability that the offspring of a homozygous recessive individual will contain the dominant allele.
What is zero?
300
There are many different variations in human skin color. This is because it's not just one gene that determines skin color. Variation in skin color is an example of this.
What is polygenic traits?
300
Mitosis results in 2 cells, whereas meiosis results in this many cells.
What is FOUR?
300
The possible gamete combinations for an individual with the genotype RRSs.
What is RS and Rs?
300
The correct sequence of phases in meiosis.
What is Interphase, PMAT I, PMAT II?
400
The probability that the offspring of an RRYY and RrYy individual will display the dominant phenotype.
What is 100%?
400
In rabbits there are 4 different versions of the gene for coat color. This is an example of ___________.
What is multiple alleles?
400
The final phase of Meiosis (before cytokinesis), in which there are 4 unique cells, each with a single copy of each gene.
What is Telophase II?
400
This determines both the color of western white butterflies and the arctic fox.
What is temperature (environment) and genes?
400
The number of chromosomes in a body cell of an individual having gametes with 46 chromosomes.
What is 92?
500
The probability of flipping a coin and getting tails 5 times in a row.
What is 1/32?
500
If a flower's alleles for color are gg, this is true of its parents?
What is both parents contributed a recessive allele.
500
A homologous pair of chromosomes, each made of two chromatids (for a total of 4 chromatids).
What is a tetrad?
500
The principle of Independent Assortment.
What is the principle that states that during gamete formation genes for different traits separate without influencing each other's inheritance?
500
Of the following, the ones that sort independently: linked genes, multiple alleles, chromosomes, or codominant alleles.
What are chromosomes?
