| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| how many daughter cells does mitosis produce? | two. |
| are the two daughter cells identical or different? | identical. |
| what are the phases of mitosis? | interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase. |
| What are gametes? | the resulting daughter cells. |
| what is an example of a gamete? | sperm |
| does meiosis involve sex? | yes. |
| when do mutations occur? | when DNA is substituted or replicated. |
| why do mutations increase genetic variability? | because they change the genotype of an organism. |
| what are some mutations? and where do they occur? | downs syndrome. it occurs at 21. |
| how else can you get a mutation? | it can be passed on from a parent. |
| what is a silent mutation? | when a mutation has no affect on the organism. |
| when can genetic variation occur? | when alleles are randomly sorted during meiosis. |
| how many daughter cells does meiosis produce? are they similar or different? | four, different. |
| what kind of cell does meiosis occur in? | eukaryote. |
| is a zygote or gamete produced in meiosis? | a gamete or spore. |
| why can't males be carriers or a disease? | because they only have one X chromosome. |
| what is a females genotype? | XX |
| can a female be a carrier? | yes. |
| how can you predict what percentage of the offspring will have a disease/disorder? | you do a punnet square using that parents genotypes. |
| how many prophase's does meiosis have? | two. |
| what is one difference between mitosis and meiosis? | meiosis involves sex |
| what is the last phase? | telokenesis. |
| when does crossing over occur? | during prophase 1. |
| what happens during crossing over? | when two chromosomes pair up and exchange parts of their DNA. |
