1. Q: What is genetics?
ANSWERThe branch of biology that studies heredity and the
variation of inherited characteristics.
2. Q: Who is considered the "father of genetics"?
ANSWERGregor Mendel.
3. Q: What is a gene?
ANSWERA basic unit of heredity and a sequence of
nucleotides in DNA that codes for a specific molecule
(usually a protein).
,4. Q: What is a chromosome?
ANSWERA thread-like structure of nucleic acids and protein
found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic
information in the form of genes.
5. Q: How many chromosomes do humans have?
ANSWER46 chromosomes (23 pairs).
6. Q: What are autosomes?
ANSWERChromosomes that are not involved in determining
the sex of an individual (humans have 22 pairs).
7. Q: What are sex chromosomes?
ANSWERChromosomes that determine the biological sex of
an individual (X and Y in humans).
8. Q: What is a karyotype?
ANSWERAn organized visual profile of a person's
chromosomes.
9. Q: What is a somatic cell?
ANSWERAny cell of a living organism other than the
reproductive cells.
, 10. Q: What is a gamete?
ANSWERA reproductive cell (sperm in males, egg in females)
that carries half the genetic information of a somatic cell.
11. Q: What does diploid (2n) mean?
ANSWERA cell containing two complete sets of
chromosomes, one from each parent.
12. Q: What does haploid (n) mean?
ANSWERA cell containing only one complete set of
chromosomes.
13. Q: What is mitosis?
ANSWERA type of cell division that results in two daughter
cells each having the same number and kind of
chromosomes as the parent nucleus.
14. Q: What is meiosis?
ANSWERA type of cell division that results in four daughter
cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the
parent cell, as in the production of gametes.
15. Q: What is the cell cycle?
