Mendel is often referred to as the following:

Father of Modern Genetics

Mendel’s Laws 200

Genes

Mendel’s units of heredity were later called ________.

Mendel’s Laws 300

Mendel noticed that when he crossed purebred purple plants with purebred white plants, all of the plants were:

Mendel’s Laws 400

According to Mendel’s Law of Independent Assortment, gametes separate during

formation of ______ and _______.

Egg; sperm

Mendel’s Laws 500

Why did Mendel select pea plants for his experiments? There are two good reasons.

Punnett Squares 100

A person who is homozygous for a trait has the genotype:

Can’t tell!

Punnett Squares 200

If a homozygous dominant person for eye colour (brown) has babies with a blue eyed person, what percentage of the babies will have blue eyes?

100%

Punnett Squares 300

Sex-linked traits are more common in males than in females because…

Males only need to acquire one x-chromosome with the illness-causing gene in order to be affected by the illness; females need two.

Transcription & Translation 100

Transcription is the process by which _______ carries the genetic information to the __________ from the nucleus. This is necessary because….

mRNA; ribosome; necessary because DNA cannot leave the nucleus

Transcription & Translation 200

In order for transcription to occur, the DNA must unwind itself. The section from the first portion of unzipped DNA to the next section is called a(n):

Gene

Transcription & Translation 300

Translation is the process by which amino acids are brought together to form a ________ using the sequence of _______ found on the mRNA strand.

Protein; bases

Transcription & Translation 400

• tRNA have the function of bringing amino acids for the function of proteins. The three-letter sequences found on the tRNA molecules are called:

Anti-codons

Transcription & Translation 500

• What type of amino acid is coded for with the codon CGA?

Arg (arginine)

Everything Else 100

The phase of mitosis that is not generally considered one of it’s phases and the genetic material is doubled is called:

Interphase

Everything Else 200List the 6 steps of mitosis.

Interphase prophase metaphase anaphase telophase cytokinesis

Everything Else 300

• Mitosis produces two cells with _____ chromosomes in total. Meiosis produces four cells with ______ chromosomes in total.

46; 23

Everything Else 400

• In H-W equilibrium, the population is not evolving. If the frequency of one type of allele is 0.6, the frequency of that type of allele 6000 years from now will be:

0.6 – it does not change because the population is not evolving

Everything Else 500
