100
This is the process that cells undergo to DIVIDE.
What is Mitosis?
100
When the process of mitosis is complete, each daughter cell or the two new cells has the________ number of chromosomes as the Parent cell.
What is the SAME number of chromosomes?
100
These are forms of a gene, we get one from mom and one from dad and they are represented by a pair of letters.
What are ALLELES?
100
He was an Austrian monk whose work with pea plants helped him come up with a theory of heredity & is known as the Father of Genetics.
Who is Gregor Mendel?
100
When an egg and sperm form an embryo, the offspring that is formed will have genetic traits that are:
What is traits passed on from two parents?
200
This phase of the Cell Cycle is defined by the events where The cell splits in two. Each daughter cell or new cell ends up with an identical set of chromosomes. DRAW & WRITE the name of this phase.
What is Cytokinesis?
200
During this part of the Cell Cycle the cell spend most of its time maturing and developing.
What is INTERPHASE?
200
It is known as the Physical or visible characteristics or traits that are expressed in organism like hair color, height, ect.
What is Phenotype?
200
During natural selection, a peacock with larger, brighter plumage will increase its odds of survival among its species. Although its __________ is the same as other peacocks, its __________ is favored during natural selection.
What is genotype, phenotype?
200
In peas, Tall plants are dominant and short plants are recessive. A tall plant (Tt) is crossed with a short plant (tt). PREDICT the PROBABILITY that they will produce an offspring with the genotype Tt. DRAW & FILL IN a Punnett square for this monhybrid cross.
What is 50% probability will have the Tt genotype?
300
This phase of the Cell Cycle is defined by the events where the cell growths, develops and its DNA goes through replication. DRAW & WRITE the name of this phase.
What is Interphase?
300
Correctly DRAW the diagram that represents the second stage of Mitosis.
What is Metaphase where the Chromosomes are lined up in the middle or center of the cell.
300
It is known as a combination of a pair of Alleles (letters). They may be the Same (T T) homozygous or they may be different (T t) heterozygous/hybrid and it CODES for the phenotype which is the genetic information that is passed from parent to offspring.
What is Genotype?
300
Huntington's disease is a genetic disorder that causes the breakdown of brain tissue starting during middle age. Huntington's is inherited by anyone carrying a dominant allele. This genotype will be LEAST likely to have Huntington's disease. Draw a Punnett Square to find out genotype where H:has disease, h: no disease
What is hh?
300
List all the possible genotypes of the offspring from the following monohybrid cross: Aa x aa DRAW & FILL In Punnett square :)
What are Aa and aa genotypes?
400
This phase of the Cell Cycle is defined by the events where the chromosomes split at the CENTROMERE and single strands CHROMATIDS are pulled APART to opposite ends of the cells. DRAW & WRITE the name of this phase.
What is ANAPHASE?
400
These are the phases or stages of Mitosis in the correct sequence/order.
What is Mitosis Prophase, Mitosis Metaphase, Mitosis Anaphase, & Mitosis Telophase?
400
This type of genotype is also known as a Purebred because it has the SAME or IDENTICAL pair of Alleles. The genotype can have either a Dominant pair of alleles or Recessive pair of alleles. Give examples of dominant and recessive forms of gentotypes :)
What is a Homozygous Genotype: BB=dominant bb=recessive?
400
In Mendel's observations while working with pea plants, he found that the Tall plants that were crossed with SHORT plants CAUSED the Short plants to disappear because the Tall plant dominated or covered up the short plants. He called the short form that disappeared the ______factor.
What is the Recessive factor?
400
List all the possible genotypes of the offspring and the PROBABILITIES for each of the offspring from the following monohybrid cross: Gg x Gg DRAW & FILL In Punnett square :)
What are GG 25%, Gg 50%, gg 25% probabilities.
500
This phase of the Cell Cycle is defined by the events where the chromosomes begin to uncoil & stretch out and lose their appearance. The cell has the shape of number 8 and a new nuclear envelope forms around each region of chromosomes. DRAW & WRITE the name of this phase.
What is TELOPHASE?
500
During anaphase of mitosis, THESE structures in the cell are responsible for moving the chromosomes & split them at the Centromere and the single chromatid strands are pulled apart to opposite ends of the cells.
What are Spindle Fibers?
500
This type of genotype is also known as a hybrid because it has a DIFFERENT pair of Alleles. Give an example of this type :)
What is a HETEROZYGOUS Genotype? Hh, or Tt, or Bb, etc
500
This is the tool used by scientists to PREDICT the results of offspring in a Mendelian genetic cross.
What is a Punnett square?
500
Trait: flower color where P=dominant & p=recessive Cross a HETEROZYGOUS pink flower with a white flower and list ALL possible GENOTYPES with their corresponding PHENOTYPES and PROBABILITIES for each genotype. DRAW & FILL In Punnett square :)
What are Pp= pink flowers 50% & pp=white flowers 50%?
