43
what happens during metaphase ii?
haploid number of chromosomes line up at the equator.
44
what happens during anaphase ii?
-sister chromatids are pulled apart at the centromere by spindle fibers and move toward to opposite poles of the cell.
45
what happens to chromosomes, nuclear membrane and nuclei during telophase ii?
-chromosomes reach the poles -nuclear membrane and nuclei reform.
46
_______ results in FOUR haploid cells.
cytokinesis
47
how many divisions that meiosis consists?
two
48
what does meiosis produce?
four unidentical haploid daughter cells
49
meiosis results in..
genetic variation
50
______ and _____ produce genetic variation among offspring.
meiosis and sexual reproduction
51
depending on how the chromosomes line up at the equator, how many gametes and different combinations of chromosomes can result?

random assortment of homologous chromosomes during meiosis i.
53
evolutionary adaptation depends on a population's genetic variation as a result of...

-ONE individual -ALL genes from ONE parent -offspring IDENTICAL to parent -results in a clone (NO variation)
55
what are the 4 characteristics of sexual reproduction?

56
contrast asexual and sexual reproduction.
ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION: -organism INHERITS ALL of its chromosomes from a single parent. SEXUAL REPRODUCTION: -beneficial genes multiply FASTER over time.

what is genetics?
scientific study of heredity
58
who is Gregor Mendel?
-Austrian monk and scientist. -studies inheritance of traits in pea plants -1860s

an organism with two of the same alleles for a particular trait is...
homozygous
76
an organism with two different alleles for a particular trait is...
heterozygous

meiosis
80
what happens to homologous chromosomes at anaphase I?
pull apart

In Mendel's Law of Segregation, what happens during fertilization?
two alleles for that trait unite.
82
heterozygous organisms are called..
hybrids
83
Mendel's Law of Dominance (define)
two alleles in a gene pair are different (heterozygous genotype), one allele can control the trait and the other can be hidden.

what allele always control a trait?
dominant
85
what allele is hidden when paired with another allele?
recessive

random distribution of alleles occurs during gamate formation during metaphase I.
88
In Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment, what ahppens during meiosis?
genes on separate chromosomes sort independently.
89
In Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment, what happens to each paur of alleles (gene pairs)?
they segregates into gametes randomly and independently.

crossing over and independent assortment
96
what is the exception in Mendel's law of independent assortment?
gene linkage on a chromosome results
