Gene - ANS-A section of DNA along the chromosome is called what?
Alleles - ANS-One of two or more different genes that may occupy a specific locus on a
chromosome?
Amorph - ANS-Silent gene, a gene that does not appear to produce a detectable
antigen
Genotype - ANS-Sequence of DNA that is inherited ?
Phenotype - ANS-Produced by the genotype, including an enzyme to control a blood
group antigen, length of long bones of the skeleton as example
Autosomal - ANS-Traits not carried on the sex chromosome
Autosomal dominant - ANS-Traits physically expressed by all members of the family
that carry the allele
Prokaryotic - ANS-Without a defined nucleus
Eukaryotic - ANS-With a defined nucleus
Histones - ANS-Long polymers of dna and various proteins that are compressed and
coiled to form chromosomes during cell division
Independent segregation - ANS-What is Mendels first law?
When each gene is passed onto the next generation on its own - ANS-What is
independent segregation?
Flower color, seed color, and seed shape - ANS-What characteristics of the pea
plant did Mendel study in regards to independent segregation ?
Punnett squares - ANS-What are used to determine the possible ways that inherited
alleles can combine to express a given phenotype
, Large population, random mating, no mutations in parents, no
migration/differential fertility/mortality of genotypes - ANS-What are the 4 criteria
for use of the hardy-Weinberg principle ?
Pedigree - ANS-The trait to be studied is termed as what?
Traits not carried on the sex chromosome - ANS-In regards to inheritance patterns,
autosomal refers to what?
Co dominant and autosomal - ANS-Most blood group genes are are what?
Autosomal traits - ANS-What traits do not show a difference in the distribution between
males and females?
Son will not have trait, daughters will - ANS-If a father carries a trait on his X
chromosome, what will happen to his son and daughter?
Resting, pre replication, S, post replication, and m phase - ANS-What are the cell cycle
stages?
Mitosis - ANS-The process by which cells divide to create identical daughter cells ?
Interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase - ANS-What are the stages
of mitosis?
Interphase - ANS-At what stage of mitosis is dna in the form of chromatin and is
dispersed throughout the nucleus.
Prophase - ANS-In what mitosis stage does the chromatin condense to form
chromosomes and the nuclear envelope begins to break down?
Metaphase - ANS-What stage of mitosis do the chromosomes align along the middle of
the nucleus
Anaphase - ANS-At what stage of mitosis does the spindle apparatus form and cell
division starts to take place ?
Telophase - ANS-At what stage of mitosis is the cell pulled apart, and division js
complete?
Interphase 2N - ANS-Resting stage between cell divisions, chromatin is uncondensed,
cells are synthesizing RNA and proteins
Prophase I 4N - ANS-First stage of meiotic division, chromosome crossing over occurs
at this stage
