Genetics
100
These carry instructions that determine a person's traits.
What is a gene?
100
This is the type of reproduction associated with mitosis.
What is asexual reproduction?
100
This is the type of reproduction associated with meiosis.
What is sexual reproduction?
100
Only one of these alleles needs to be present in order to be "seen"/show up.
What is a dominant allele?
100
This is the model used to predict the possible phenotypes and genotypes of offspring.
What is a Punnett Square?
200
The part of a gene that gives you a difference or a variance.
What is allele?
200
This is the correct order of the phases of mitosis.
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, & Telophase (PMAT)
200
What is the main difference between the chromosome number at the end of mitosis and chromosome number at the end of meiosis?
In mitosis, the chromosome number is the same as the parent, whereas in meiosis, the chromosome number is cut in half.

Traits that are passed down from your parents
What are inherited traits?
200
What are the two factors that influence the growth of organisms?
What are environmental and genetic factors?
300
This is the form DNA takes when traits are being passed from one generation to the next.
What is a chromosome?
300
True or False:
Organisms that use asexual reproduction produce offspring genetically identical to themselves.
True
300
This event occurs during Metaphase I of meiosis and leads to genetic information switching chromosomes.
What is crossing-over?
300
Both of these alleles must be present in order for this trait to show up.
What is a recessive allele?
300
This is the type of plant that Mendel studied when he discovered the laws of genetics.
What are pea plants?
400
This is where chromosomes found within a cell.
What is the nucleus?
400
This is the number of cells and type of cells produced from a cell undergoing mitosis.
What are 2 identical diploid cells?
400
This is the number of cells and type of cells produced from a cell undergoing meiosis.
What are 4 unique haploid cells?
400
The study of heredity
What is genetics?
400
This scientist is known as the Father of Genetics.
Who is Gregor Mendel?
500
The genetic makeup of an organism.
What is genotype?
500
At the beginning of mitosis, a parent cell has 36 chromosomes. How many will the 2 daughter cells have?
What is 36 chromosomes?
500
At the beginning of meiosis, a parent cell has 36 chromosomes. How many will each of the 4 daughter cells have?
What is 18?
500
Has two identical copies of an allele.
What is homozygous?
500
In a cross between 2 heterozygous parents (Hh), what would possible genotypic percentages?
What is:
HH -25%
Hh - 50%
hh -25%
