This is the basic unit of inheritance

Gene

Meiosis consists of this number of rounds of cell division.

This is the plant Gregor Mendel used to achieve many of his scientific discoveries.

This can give information to one's susceptibility to a certain disease.

genetic marker

100

Gene therapy involves the insertion of genetic material, which includes these two molecules.

DNA and RNA

200

When a cell has one copy of a chromosome, it is considered this

haploid

200

Meiosis in females is called this

oogenesis

200

Some traits can be "blended", meaning both alleles are partially expressed. Another name for this is

incomplete dominance

200

A picture of an individual's chromosomes is called this.

Karyotype

200

This type of gene therapy occurs outside the body

ex vivo

300

This symbol represents the number of different chromosomes in an individual

n

300

The difference between metaphase in mitosis and metaphase I in meiosis I is this.

Homologous chromosomes pair up with one another in metaphase I

300

Mendel developed this, which stated that factors for a trait separate during the formation of gametes, among other things.

Law of segregation

300

Two methods discussed for testing a fetus for a genetic disease are these.

Amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling

300

This type of gene therapy occurs inside the body

In vivo

400
DNA wraps around proteins to condense, forming this

Nucleosomes

400

The main difference between mitosis and meiosis II is this.

The cells starting meiosis II are haploid.

In a pedigree, males are designated by this shape and females are designated by this shape.

Male square, female circle

These enzymes can break DNA at a specific site to analyze a particular part of the sequence.

restriction enzymes

Why is sickle-cell disease a good target for gene therapy?

The gene is known and is the result of a single mutation

500

This type of chromosome is no different in males and females 

autosome

500

This event exchanged genetic material between two homologous chromosomes, resulting in increased variation

Crossing over

500

Blood type is an example of a genes ability to have this

Multiple alleles

500

Inserting a gene into a bacterial plasmid creates this, which can then be used to make clone genes for research.

recombinant DNA

500

This enzyme is used in the CRISPR complex to identify a specific sequence of DNA.
