Word
Definition
genetics   the scientific study of heredity  
🗑
fertilization   the process where male and female reproductive cells join. Produces ONE new cell.  
🗑
true-breeding   if the plants were allowed to self pollinate they would produce offspring identical to themselves  
🗑
trait   specific characteristic  
🗑
hybrid   offspring with crosses between parents with different traits  
🗑
genes   chemical factors that determine traits  
🗑
alleles   different forms of a gene  
🗑
segregation   separation  
🗑
gametes   sex cells  
🗑
probability   likely hood that a particular event will occur  
🗑
Punnette Square   a diagram that can determine the gene combinations that may result from a genetic cross  
🗑
homozygous   organisms that have two identical alleles for a particular trait  
🗑
heterozygous   organisms that have two different alleles for the same trait  
🗑
phenotype   physical characteristics  
🗑
genotype   genetic makeup  
🗑
independent assortment   genes for different traits can segregate independently during the formation of gametes  
🗑
incomplete dominance   when an allele is not completely dominant over another  
🗑
codominance   both alleles contribute to the phenotype  
🗑
multiple alleles   when genes have more than two alleles  
🗑
polygenic traits   traits controlled by two or more genes  
🗑
homologous   each of the four chromosomes that came from the male parent has a corresponding chromosome form the female parent  
🗑
diploid   two sets  
🗑
haploid   one set  
🗑
meiosis   process of reduction division in which the number of chromosomes per cell is cut in half through the separation of homologous chromosomes in a diploid cell  
🗑
tetrad   a structure that forms when a chromosome pairs with its corresponding homologous chromosome  
🗑
crossing over   the exchange of alleles between homologous chromosomes and produces new combinations of alleles  
🗑
gene map   map that shows the reletive locations of each known gene on one of the drosophila chromosomes  
🗑
how many pea plant traits did mendal study?   7  
🗑
After Mendals' first experiment what was his next wuestion   had the recessive alleles disappear or were they still present in the F1 plants  
🗑
what % of the recessive traits re-appeared   25%  
🗑
independent assortment accounts for   the many genetic variations observed in plants, animals, and other organisms  
🗑
Mendel's Principle 1:   The inheritance of biological characteristics is determined by individual units known as genes. Genes are passed from parents to their off spring  
🗑
Mendel's Principle 2:   In cases in which two or more forms (alleles) of the gene for a single trait exists some forms of the gene may be dominant and others may be recessive.  
🗑
Mendel's Principle 3:   In most sexually reproducing organisms each adult has tow copies of each genes -one from each parent. These genes are separated from each other when gametes are formed.  
🗑
Mendel's Principle 4:   the alleles for different genes usually separate independently of one another  
🗑
Exeptions to Mendel's Principles   some alleles are neither dominant nor recessive, and many traits are controlled by multiple alleles or genes  
🗑
Where are genes?   They are located on chromosomes in the nucleus  
🗑
Mendel's Principles of genetics require at least these two things:   1. Each organism must inherit a single copy from each of its parents. 2. When an organism produces its own gametes those two sets of genes must be separated from each other so that each gamete contains only one set of genes.  
🗑
by the end of meiosis 2   the diploid cell that entered meiosis has become four haploid cells  
🗑
meiosis 1:::Prophase 1   1. Chromosomes become visible. 2. crossing over occurs. 3. nucleolus disappears. 4. The meiotic spindle forms. 5. Nuclear envelope disappears.  
🗑
meiosis 1:::Metaphase 1   Pairs of chromosomes become arranged on the metaphase plate and are attached to the now fully formed meiotic spindle  
🗑
meiosis 1:::Anaphase 1   The two chromosomes in each tetrad separate and migrate to opposite poles. A key difference between mitosis and meiosis is that sister chromatids remain joined after metaphase in meiosis where as in mitosis they separate.  
🗑
meiosis 1:::Telophase 1   The homologous chromosome pairs reach the poles of the cells, nuclear envelopes form around them, and cytokinesis follows to produce two cells.  
🗑
What happens at the end of telophase 1?   There is a haploid set of chromosomes at each pole, with each chromosome still having two chromatids  
🗑
meiosis 2:::Metaphase 2   one of two identical sister parts of a duplicated chromosome  
🗑
meiosis 2:::Prophase 2   Nuclear envelopes dissolve and spindle fibers form. Everything else is the same as in prophase in mitosis.  
🗑
meiosis 2:::Anaphase 2   The paired chromatids separate and move to opposite ends of the cell  
🗑
In male animals the haploid gametes produced by meiosis are called:   Sperm  
🗑
In female animals the gamete is called:   Egg  
🗑
Mitosis produces:   two genetically identical diploid cells  
🗑
Meiosis Produces:   four genetically different haploid cells  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
