Cell Division
These were two types of cell division discussed this year.
What is Mitosis and Meiosis?
This is what DNA stands for.
What is deoxyribonucleic acid?
This is how we write/represent dominant alleles when writing genotypes.
What are capital letters?
This scientists provided the theory of evolution by natural selection.
Who is Charles Darwin?
These are the types of plants Mendel used during his genetics experiments.
What are pea plants?
This is the phase of cell division where DNA replicates.
What is Interphase?
This is the process of DNA making a copy of itself.
What is DNA Replication?
When a red flower and white flower come together and produce a flower with pink petals, this is an example of ________________ type of inheritance.
What is incomplete dominance?
This is the ability of organisms with more desirable traits to survive, reproduce, and pass those traits onto their offspring.
What is natural selection?
This is the phenotypic ratio of a dihybrid cross.
What is 9:3:3:1?
This is the name of chromosomes that share the same genes, but different versions of those.
What is homologous chromsomes?
This is the central dogma of biology.
What is DNA to RNA to protein?
This is the probability of two heterozygous parents (Hh x Hh) producing a homozygous recessive offspring.
What is 1/4 or 25%?
This scientist believed organisms could acquire traits over their lifetime and pass those down to their offspring, therefore having a species change over time.
Who is Jean Baptiste Lamarck?
This is the structure of a nucleotide.
What is a sugar, phosphate, and nitrogenous base?
This structure is responsible for the separation of chromosomes.
What are spindle fibers?
These are the base pairings in RNA.
What is A to U and C to G?
This is the only way a son could receive a trait on the Y chromosome.
What is from father to son?
These are the structures that are similar in form/structure but serve different functions, which indicates a common ancestor.
What are homologous structures?
Organisms that mate and produce fertile offspring belong to this same taxa (group).
What is a species?
This is the phase in Meiosis where tetrads form.
What is Prophase I?
This molecule is responsible for bringing amino acids to the ribosome during translation.
What is tRNA?
A family has 6 children - 5 daughters and 1 son. This is the chance that their 7th child is a son.
What is 1/2 or 50% chance?
If most of the amino acid sequences are the same between two organisms, it means this sequence is also equally the same.
What is DNA sequence?
This is the order of the classification of organisms.
What is Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species?
