Name: 

The process of 1 cell dividing into 2 cells is called cell division. ____________________

A chromosome is a structure made of DNA and protein. ____________________

Cells in the human body become stomach cells and liver cells through the process of cell division. ____________________

Most bacteria and protozoan reproduce sexually by undergoing simple cell-division. ____________________

A haploid cell contains half the number of chromosomes of a diploid cell, which contains a complete set of chromosomes. ____________________

The phenotype is the form of a trait that an organism displays. ____________________

The form of a gene that is hidden when the dominant allele is present is called recessive. ____________________

When a true-breeding plant self-pollinates, it always produces offspring with different traits as the parent plant. ____________________

If an organism has a genotype with a recessive and dominant allele, the dominant trait is always shown. ____________________

Mendel found that the ratio of purple flowers to white flowers was 3:1 in the second generation of offspring. ____________________

Different forms of the same genes are called chromosomes. ____________________

When a true-breeding purple plant (PP) is crossed with a true-breeding white plant (Pp) the genotype of the offspring must be Pp. ____________________

A tabby cat is an example of incomplete dominance. ____________________

Inherited traits that are determined by a single gene are called polygenic traits. ____________________

The period of time from the beginning of one cell division to the beginning of the next is called the _________________________.

During ____________________ the cell grows, develops, and copies its chromosomes.

____________________ is the stage in the cell cycle where the nucleus divides into 2 nuclei.

The diagram shows the ____________________ stage of the cell cycle.

As cells undergo ______________________________ they give rise to different tissues, which eventually form organs.

____________________ reproduction is the type of reproduction that requires only one parent.

The special types of cells required for sexual reproduction are called ____________________.

In cells from the same species, a ____________________ cell contains twice as many chromosomes as a ____________________ cell.

An organism’s ____________________ is the set of traits it receives from its parents.

Individual units called ____________________ determine an organism’s traits.

The works of ______________________________ and ______________________________ have been combined in 5 basic laws of heredity.

A yellow seeded pea plant (YY) is crossed with a green seeded (yy) pea plant. The genotype of the first generation of peas is ____________________.

In the gene combination Gg for pod color, g is the ____________________ allele.

A useful tool you can use to show all the possible combinations of alleles from the parents is called a(n) _________________________.

Probability can be expressed as a ____________________.

Genes are located on _________________________.

The code for one amino acid is made of ____________________.

Tomatoes that can withstand cold temperatures and extra large strawberries are two examples of the process of ________________________________________.

The only way that a mutation can be passed on to offspring is if it is found in the _________________________ of the parent organism.

A _________________________ is the total amount of hereditary material in a single cell of an organism.

Mitochondrial DNA is inherited from the ____________________.

During ______________________________, ribosomes read the genetic codes and assemble the proper proteins.

List the different stages of the cell cycle for a normal body cell in the proper order. What is the ultimate result of the cell cycle?

White flower color is recessive to purple flower color in pea plants. If a pea plant has white flowers, what is the genotype and phenotype of the pea plant?

What can you predict about the offspring if you know the genotypes of the parents?

A double helix DNA molecule has the following code:
ATGCTTGCC
TACGAACGG
After DNA replication, what is the outcome?

You know that when purple flowers mate with purple flowers, the offspring is always purple. You also know that if purple flowers mate with white flowers the offspring is either white or purple. You decide that you want to give your family purple flowers for Christmas. What type of flowers will you mate. What strategy have you used in pollinating the flowers?

A certain protein in your body has 1,800 bases in its code.

a. How many amino acids are present in this protein?
b. How many different types of amino acids could be in this protein?
