100
During this cycle, the cell grows, prepares for division, and divides into two new cells
What is the cell cycle?
100
The passing of physical characteristics from parents to offspring
What is heredity?
100
A number that describes how likely an event is to occur
What is probability?
100
Occurs when only one allele is only partially dominant
What is incomplete dominance?
100
The second stage of the cell cycle
What is mitosis?
200
The functions of cell division
What are to grow, repair, and reproduce.
200
A specific characteristic such as hair color or eye color
What is a trait?
200
A chart that shows the possible offspring of a genetic cross
What is a Punnett Square?
200
Occurs when both alleles for a trait for a gene are expressed equally
What is codominance?
200
Scientist who discovered heredity
Who is Mendel?
300
The last phase of mitosis, 2 nuclei are forming, and spindle fibers have disappeared
What is telophase?
300
This organism has two different alleles for a trait
What is hybrid?
300
An organism's physical traits
What is phenotype?
300
Explains why rabbit coat color can range from brownish gray to white
What is multiple alleles?
300
Factors that control a trait
What is a gene?
400
During this phase of mitosis, chromosomes are lined up in the middle of the cell.
What is metaphase?
400
This will be hidden in the presence of a dominant allele
What is recessive allele?
400
Ss
What is heterozygous?
400
Skills you learn and physical changes that occur
What are acquired traits?
400
An organism's genetic makeup
What is genotype?
500
The longest phase in the cell cycle
What is interphase?
500
This is used to describe the first generation cross of parent genes
What is F1?
500
An organism with two identical alleles for a trait
What is homozygous?
500
Occurs when more than one gene affects a trait
What is polygenic inheritance?
500
This is how most traits are inherited
What are patterns of complex inheritance?
