WITH 100% CORRECT ANSWERS
Alleles - correct answer- Alternate forms of a gene
Autopolyploidy - correct answer- Multiple chromosome sets
from the same species
Autosomal - correct answer- Chromosomes that are NOT sex
chromosomes
Autosomal Dominant - correct answer- An affected
individual has one copy of a mutant gene and one normal gene
on a pair of autosomal chromosomes
Autosomal Recessive - correct answer- An affected individual
has two copies of a mutant gene on a pair of autosomal
chromosomes
Central Dogma of Biology - correct answer- DNA -> RNA ->
Protein
, Centromere - correct answer- Area where the chromatids of
a chromosome are attached
Chiasmata - correct answer- X-shaped regions where
crossing over occurs
Chromatids - correct answer- Two identical chromosomes
that split and contain the same genetic material

that have different alleles for the same gene (9:3:3:1 ratio)
Diploid - correct answer- Containing two complete sets of
chromosomes, one from each parent
Dominant - correct answer- An allele that masks a recessive
allele
