Question
Answer
the scientific study of heredity   genetics  
🗑
if allowed to self pollinate, offspring produced would be identical to the parent   true breeding  
🗑
specific characteristic that varies from one individual to another   trait  
🗑
offspring crossed between parents with different traits are   hybrids  
🗑
chemical factors that determine traits   genes  
🗑
different forms of a gene are   alleles  
🗑
The principle of __________ states that some alleles are dominant and others recessive   dominance  
🗑
separation of alleles   segregation  
🗑
sex cells   gametes  
🗑
the liklihood that a particular event will occur   probability  
🗑
the principles of _________ can be useful to predict the outcomes of genetic crosses   probability  
🗑
the gene combinations that might result from a genetic cross can be determined by drawing a diagram known as this   punnett square  
🗑
organisms that have two identical alleles for a particular trait, true-breeding   homozygous  
🗑
organisms that have two different alleles for the same trait, hybrid   heterozygous  
🗑
physical characteristics   phenotype  
🗑
genetic makeup   genotype  
🗑
genes that segregate independently form do not influence each others inheritance   independent assortment  
🗑
the principle of ___________ ____________ states that genes for different traits can segregate independently during the formation of gametes   independent assortment  
🗑
the inheritance of biological characteristics is determined by________. In sexual organisms, genes are passed from ________ to _______.   genes, parent, offspring  
🗑
in cases where more than one form of a gene exists for a single trait, some forms may be __________ and others __________   dominant recessive  
🗑
in most sexual organisms, each adult has two copies of each ______. one from each parent. They are __________ when gametes are formed   segregated  
🗑
the alleles for different genes usually segregate ____________   independently  
🗑
T/F some alleles are neither dominant or recessive   TRUE  
🗑
T/F Traits cannot be controlled by multiple alleles   FALSE  
🗑
Many _______ are controlled by multiple alleles or multiple genes   traits  
🗑
cases in which one allele is not completely dominant over another is called   incomplete dominance  
🗑
both alleles contribute to the phenotype of the organism   codominance  
🗑
genes that have more than two alleles   multiple alleles  
🗑
traits controlled by two or more genes are said to be _________ traits, which means "having many genes"   polygenic  
🗑
describe the main results of meiosis   four haploid (gametes) cells that are genetically different due to crossing over  
🗑
a cell containing both sets of homologous chromosomes   diploid  
🗑
contains one set of homologous chromosomes   haploid  
🗑
sex cells (gametes) are haploid/diploid?   haploid  
🗑
_________ is a process of reduction devision in which the number of chromosomes per cell is cut in half through the separation of homologous chromosomes in a diploid cell   meiosis  
🗑
by the end of meiosis, the diploid cell has become four ________ cells   haploid  
🗑
prior to meiosis 1, each chromosome is ___________. (Interphase 1)   replicated  
🗑
Prophase 1- Chromosomes pair with _______ chromosomes to form a _______which contains four chromatids. Then __________ over occurs, portions of chromatids are exchanged   homologous, tetrad, crossing  
🗑
this leads to genetic diversity, portions of chromatids are exchanged   crossing over  
🗑
in this stage of meiosis, chromosomes line up in the middle of a single cell   Metaphase 1  
🗑
in this phase of meiosis, homologous chromosomes separate in the single cell   anaphase 1  
🗑
Meiosis 1 ends with_____ haploid cells, each with half the number of chromosomes as the original, duplicated cell (so it has the normal amount)   2  
🗑
Meiosos II-Prophase II-chromosomes Do/DoNot replicate?   Do NOT  
🗑
in this phase of meiosis, chromosomes line up along the middle of both haploid cells   metaphase II  
🗑
Mitosis results in the production of two genetically identical ________ cells, while meiosis produces 4 genetically different______cells   diploid, hapliod  
🗑
the simple addition, deletion, or manipulation of an organism to create a desired change   genetic engineering  
🗑
organisms that contain genes from other organisms, altered by genetic engineering   transgenic  
🗑
engineering of organisms for useful purposes   biotechnology  
🗑
give two reasons to clone animals   herd improvement, pharmaceutical production, satisfy desires(pets)  
🗑
Tiny segments of a gene are taken out and replaced with other unrelated DNA, also called gene splicing   recombinant DNA  
🗑
production of pharmaceuticals in animals engineered to contain a foreign, drug producing gene   pharming  
🗑
moving a gene from one organism to another   gene transfer  
🗑
a member of a population of genetically identical cells produced from a single cell   clone  
🗑


   

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.
