What is the function of Mitosis?
The function of mitosis is to equally divide replicated chromosomes into daughter cells.
How many daughter cells are produced from mitosis?
Two daughter cells are produced from each parent cell.
What types of cells does mitosis it produce?
Mitosis produces body cells such as muscle, liver, or skin cells.
How does the chromosome number of the parent cell compare to the daughter cells in mitosis?
The daughter cells have exactly the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
What is the meiosis?
The function of meiosis is to create haploid cells for sexual reproduction
How many daughter cells are produced from meosis?
Four daughter cells are produced from each parent cell
What types of cells does meiosis produce?
Meiosis produces gametes (sperm and egg cells).
How does the chromosome number of the parent cell compare to the daughter cells in meiosis?
The daughter cells havae half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
Who was one of the first people to scientifically study patterns of heredity?
Gregor Mendel
If red flowers (R) are dominant over white flowers (r) how would you represent a homozygous dominant organism?
RR
If red flowers (R) are dominant over white flowers (r) how would you represent a heterozygous organism?
Rr
If red flow flowers (R) are dominant over white flowers (r) what would the phenotype be for a flower that is Rr?
Red
If red flowers (R) are dominant over white flowers (r), show a Punnett square for a cross between a heterozygous flower and white flower
R r
r Rr rr
r Rr rr
Describe the difference between codominance and incomplete dominance. Give an example of each
In codominance, a heterozygous organism will have BOTH traits expressed. An example would be a red flower crossed with a white flower produces flowers with red and white stripes

In incomplete dominance, a heterozygous organism will show a blend somwhere between both traits. An example would be a red floer crossed with a white flower produces pink flowers.
Human blood shows four different PHENOTYPES-type A, type B, Type AB, and Type O. Writed ALL of the possible genotypes for each of the four phenotypes: Which types are co-dominant? Which type is recessive
Type A- IaIa or Ia i
Type B- IbIb or Ibi
Type AB- IaIb
Type O- ii

Type A and B are co-dominant
Type O is recessive
What is the difference between SEXUAL reproduction and ASEXUAL reproduction?
Asexual reproduction occurs through mitosis, where on parent cell forms two identical offspring.
Sexual reproduction occurs when gametes and two different parents combine to form an offspring.
Asexual reproduction occurs through what?
mitosis
What is genetic modification?
When a gene from one organism is inserted into a different organism
How does DNA carry the genetic code(instructions for making proteins)?
In the sequence of the nitrogenous bases of the nucleoties (the A's, C's G's and T's)
Define Replication
When DNA acts as a template and an identical copy of the DNA molecule is made
Define Transcription
Wehn DNA acts as a template and a single-standed messenger RNA molecule is made (copying the genetic code from DNA)
Define Translation
When the mRNA code is read by the ribosome and used to create an amino acid chain (protein)
If the sequence of bases on a DNA template is A-G-T-A-C-T, what is the sequence of bases on the complemnetary strand?
T-C-A-T-G-A
What would the mRNA made from the template be?
U-C-A-U-G-A
What sequence of bases would be found on the anticodons that bind to those codons?
A-G-U and A-C-U
Put the followin cell components in order from smallest to largest: nucleus, cell, chromosome, nucleotide, and gene
Nucleotide, gene, chromosome, nucleus, cell
In codominance, a heterozygous organism will show a blend somewhere between both traits:

True or False?
FALSE
In incomplete dominance, a heterozygous organism will have BOTH traits expressed:
True or False?
FALSE
An example of codominance, a heterozygous organism would be a red flower crossed with a white flower produces flowers with red and white stripes:
True or False?
True
An example of incomplete dominance, would be a red flower crossed with a white flower to produce pink flowers.
True or False?
True
What is gametes?

Mitosis produces body cells such as ?

The function of meiosis is to create ___________haploid cells for __________reproduction
Haploid and sexual
In meiosis, how many daughter cells are produced from each parent cell?
Four
Sperm and egg cells (gametes) are produced from this:
Meiosis
In meiosis the daughter cells have how many number of chromosomes as the parent cells?
Half the number of the parent cell.
Asexual reproduction occurs through?
