How many chromosomes are there in a typical human?

 46

100

Meiosis has some of the same phases as mitosis, True or False?

True.  Interphase is the same and the other stages have the same names.

100

In asexual reproduction the daughter cells are _________ to the parent cell

identical

100

An organism's allele pair is known as its ________.

genotype

100

Who is the father of modern genetics?

Gregor Mendel

200

Chromosome 3 from one parent paired with chromosome 3 from the other parent make a __________ pair.

 Homologous

200

What is the first stage of meiosis?

Prophase I is the first stage of meiosis.

200

For which type of reproduction (sexual or asexual) is meiosis needed?

sexual

200

The observable characteristics or outward expression of an allele pair is an organism's __________.

phenotype

200

  What is this called?

Karyotype

300

How many chromosomes are in a human gamete?

23 (Gametes contain half the required number of chromosomes)

300

When the chromosomes are separated the chromosome number is reduced from what to what?

from 2n to n or diploid to haploid

300

Most advanced organisms reproduce by combining genes from two parents, or ___________? 

sexually

300

An organism with 2 of the same alleles for a particular trait has _____________ alleles.

homozygous

300

Mendel's law of segregation states that alleles are inherited ___________ of each other.

independently


400

By the end of meiosis II, what has happened to the original chromosome number?

it has been divided in half

400

During metaphase II of meiosis, the individual chromosomes, which consist of 2 sister chromatids, do what?  Tell me with words and draw how they look.

They line up one by one at the cell's equator. xxxxxxxxx

400

What is a benefit to sexual reproduction?

Recombination of genes and genetic diversity of offspring

400

An organism with 2 different alleles for a particular trait has _________________ alleles.

Heterozygous

400

A plant who is homozygous for tall (T) is crossed with a plant that is heterozygous.  Show the cross and tell me what percentage of the offspring will be short.

Cross TT with Tt.  Get TT, Tt, TT, and Tt.  All offspring are tall, none are short.

500

Meiosis produces _______ cells (haploid or diploid).

haploid

500

In metaphase I of meiosis, chromosomes line up along the equatorial plate.  Tell me with words and draw how they look.

Chromosomes line up side by side with their homologs.  xx

500

Is this individual male or female?

female

500

What do dominant alleles do?

Show in the phenotype

500

Two pea plants that are heterozygous tall are crossed with each other.  Show the cross and tell me the genotype ratios of the potential offspring.

Tt x Tt.   TT, Tt, Tt, tt

1 TT: 2 Tt: 1 tt
