| How many cells are produced from meiosis? | 4 (n) haploid cells. |
| DNA is replicated how many times in meiosis? | Twice. |
| Which Mendelian law states that each pair of alleles separates independently of each other in gamete formation? | The Law of Independent Assortment. |
| What does an organism's genotype tell about them? | Their genetic makeup, or set of alleles, they have. |
| In the Rule of Addition, what must all of the probable outcomes add up to? | One. |
| Heart disease, diabetes, cancer and alcoholism are all examples of what? | Multifactorial disorders. |
