Term for half the number of chromosomes.
What is haploid?
This phase separates homologous chromosomes, reducing the chromosome number by half.
What is anaphase I?
Different forms of the same gene are called these.
What are alleles?
The exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes is called this process.
What is crossing over?
The thing that is masked in simple Mendelian inheritance.
What is the recessive allele/trait?
Explain the difference between Meiosis I and Meiosis II.
What is Meiosis I separates homologous chromosomes and Meiosis II separates sister chromatids.
This type of selection favors individuals at both extremes of a trait, potentially leading to speciation.
What is disruptive selection?
This type of cross gives a 1:2:1 genotypic and a 3:1 phenotypic ration.
What is a monohybrid cross between 2 heterozygous organisms?
This type of meiosis produces 1 cell and 3 polar bodies.
What is oogenesis?
This type of evolution occurs when unrelated species develop similar traits due to similar environments.
What is convergent evolution?
This Mendelian principle states that alleles of different genes separate independently during gamete formation, as long as the genes are on different chromosomes.
What is the Law of Independent Assortment?
