Genetics

Vocab

100

different forms of a gene (tall or short)

Alleles 

200

 Characteristics, category (seed color, flower position , height, seed texture.

Trait

300

BOTH dominant traits can be seen in the phenotype.

Codominance

400

characteristics that are passed down from parent to offspring (height).

Gene

500

Resulting phenotype is IN BETWEEN the original traits.

Incomplete Dominance

Punnett Square

100

 is a square diagram that is used to predict the genotypes of a particular cross or breeding experiment.

500

How many will be short?

Zero

Meiosis

100

Meiosis consists of what two cell division?

Meiosis 1 & 2

200

When do chromosomes  line up in a single file?

 Metaphase 2

300

What is Telophase 1?

 is the final stage in both meiosis and mitosis in a eukaryotic cell.

400

a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell, as in the production of gametes and plant spores.

What is Anaphase II?

cells split apart

True or False

100

Alleles can have alternative versions. (Do not have to be the same)

False- Alleles can't have alternative versions. (They have to be the same) 

200

There are 4 stages in Meiosis

False, there are 8

300

Punnett squares predict only some of the possible outcomes of a genetic cross between 2 parents.

False- ALL the possible outcomes.

400

A gene can have a maximum two allele 

False 

500

During meiosis chromosome number reduction takes place in anaphase II.

False

How to complete a Punnett Square? (IN COMPLETE STEPS).

1. Name the alleles involved.
2. Check the parents' genotypes. 
3. Label the rows with one parent's genotype. 
4. Label the columns with the other parent's genotype.
5. Have each box inherit letters from its row and column. 
6. Interpret the Punnett square.

200

Explain the difference between Homozygous Dominant and Homozygous Recessive.

One has both capital letters and the other has both lower case letters 

300

How are traits passed down from parent to child?

Genes come in different varieties, called alleles. It contain two alleles for every gene, with one allele provided by each parent of an organism.

400

The amount of  different cells do you have at the end of Meiosis

4 generally different cells

Difference between Mitosis & Meiosis

Mitosis gives two nuclei, and hence two cells, while meiosis gives four. Mitosis gives identical cells to each other and to the mother cell
