Meiosis
What is the process of cell division that results in four non-identical haploid cells?
What is a meiosis?
What is a mutation that changes one nucleotide but does not change the amino acid sequence?
What is a silent mutation?
What term describes the blending of two traits, such as pink flowers from red and white parents?
What is incomplete dominance?
In a Punnett square, what does a capital letter represent?
What is a dominant allele?
What term describes an organism with two identical alleles for a gene?
What is homozygous?
During which phase of meiosis does crossing over occur?
What is Prophase I?
What is a mutation that results in an early stop codon?
What is a nonsense mutation?
What is the term for the inheritance pattern where the heterozygous phenotype is a blend of the two homozygous phenotypes?
What is incomplete dominance?
What type of genetic cross involves two traits?
What is a dihybrid cross?
What is the process where homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material during meiosis?
What is crossing over?
What is the term for the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes?
What is crossing over?
What is the gene mutation in which a single base pair in DNA has been changed?
What is a point mutation?
What is the term for the type of inheritance where a trait is controlled by multiple genes, each having a small effect on the phenotype?
What is polygenic inheritance?
What is the term for an organism that has two identical alleles for a particular gene?
What is homozygous?
What is the genetic makeup of an organism, expressed in alleles?
What is genotype?
What is the main difference between meiosis I and meiosis II?
Meiosis I involves homologous chromosome separation, while meiosis II separates sister chromatids.
What is the gene mutation is which it adds or deletes nucleotides, shifting the reading frame?
What is a frameshift mutation?
In cattle, the roan coat color is a result of codominant inheritance. What would the offspring look like if a red cow (RR) and a white cow (WW) were crossed?
What is a roan cow (RW), which exhibits both red and white hairs equally?
If a person has one dominant allele (A) and one recessive allele (a) for a gene, what term describes their genotype?
What is heterozygous (Aa)?
What is the term used to describe the observable characteristics or traits of an organism?
What is the phenotype?
