25
X
Chromosome given from mother
26
Y
Chromosome given from father
27
How many sets of chromosomes do a sperm and egg cell have?
only 1
28
What is a zygote?
diploid
29
True or False: all cells can divide by meiosis
false. only diploid cells can divide by meiosis
30
What is crossing over?
exchange of homologous parts between non-sister chromatids
31
How do the offspring in meiosis differ from those of mitosis?
In meiosis variation can occur- meiosis results in 4 daughter cells
32
How are chromosomes sorted?
they are sorted by size, position, and pattern
33
Polyploidy
contain more than two sets of chromosomes usually lethal in animals some insects some salamanders Advantageous in fruits- leads to sterile.
34
Nondisjunction
can result in Euploid (normal) Trisomy (Two) or monosomy (none)
35
Klinefelter syndrome
an error in meiosis XXY
36
Triple X syndrome
an error in meiosis XXX
37
Jacobs syndrome
an error in meiosis | XYY
38
Turner syndrome
an error in meiosis | X
39
Down Syndrome
A mutation of the 21st chromosome
40
Gregor Mendal
Principles of inheritance in hybrid plants | did most work with the pea plant
41
Segragation
Determined that alleles always segregate in the offspring | We now know that the chromosomes physically separate during meiosis, and this is the basis for allele segregation
42
Gene
– a portion of the DNA, located at a fixed place on a particular chromosome, that codes for a specific product or trait.
43
Allele
one alternative form of a given gene | tall and dwarf) (more than 2 can exist
44
Genotype
the specific allele combination for a certain gene or set of genes ex BB
45
Phenotype
the outword expression of the genotype
46
Homozygote
an individual which contains only one allele at the allelic pair Ex DD
47
Heterozygote
an individual which contains one of each member of the gene pair for example the Dd heterozygote
48
Hybrid
a mixture of 2 sets of alleles (we are all hybrids)
49
Cross
(the mating of two individuals)
50
Why are calico cats almost always female?
It is a sex linked trait, can only appear in X
51
Monohybrid Cross
a cross between parents that differ at a single gene pair
52
Monohybrid
the offspring of two parents that are homozygous for alternate alleles of a gene pair
53
Dihybrid cross
– a cross between parents that differ at two gene pairs (usually AABB x aabb)
54
Dihybrid
the offspring of two parents that are homozygous for alternate alleles of two gene pairs
55
Ratios
For phenotypes not genotypes
56
Codominant
two or more alleles that do not demonstrate a dominant-recessive relationship as expected Ex AB blood
57
Incompletely Dominent
heterozygous offspring will have a phenotype inbetween dominant and recessive a red and white rose can make pink roses.
58
Polygenic Traits
a phenotype that is dependent on more than 1 gene
59
Pleiotropy/Van Der Hoev syndrome
Many different symptoms from a single mutation
60
Brachidactyly
The short fingers but regular sized bones thing. shows that enviornment plays a role in expression
61
x linked recessive
``` Male has only one X chromosome Recessive will show up Female has two X chromosomes Recessive can be hidden “Carrier” ```
62
Barr bodies
``` Females have two X chromosomes One is enough (two is often too much) Therefore, one is randomly inactivated Referred to as a Barr Body Can be seen in the nucleus ```

69
rRNA
ribosomal
70

Transfer
71
where does the process of meiosis occur
from the outside of the tubules to the inside
72
where in the seminiferous tubular would you expect to find diploid cells
outside of tubule
73
where would you find haploid cells
inside of tubule
74
how does yeast divide
budding
75
how does bacteria divide
fission
76
how does mitosis differ in cancerous tissue
cancerous tissue has a much higher mitotic index
77
when is DNA duplicated in meiosis
it is synthesized in the S phase of interphase
78
what occurs in prophase of meiosis that doesn't happen in mitosis
meiosis goes through prophase twice
79
what is a continuous variable
variable such as height and quickness which have continuously varying values
80
what is a dichotomous or binary variable
variable such as tongue rolling and widow's peak which have yes or no answers
81
dominant alleles are represented by
an uppercase letter
82
in fruit flies gray body color is dominant over black body-color using the letter G to represent body-color what is the genotype of a heterozygous gray bodied fly
Gg
83
all of The Offspring of two gray body flies are also Gray what can you conclude about the genotypes of the parents?
they're both homozygous dominant
84
some of the offspring of two gray bodied flies are black what can you conclude about the genotypes of the parents
they are both heterozygous
85
of the human variables observed or measured in the lab which ones are primarily under the control of a single Gene multiple genes or the environment
height and weight are multiple genes that could also be environment single Gene traits are gender and handedness
86
what is a codon
three bases on an mRNA strand
