During prophase, the genetic material in the cell nucleus becomes more condensed and is packaged into __________________ for organized division of the nucleus into two nuclei.

In a the human body, somatic cells contain _______ chromosomes.

In the human body, sex cells (gametes) produced in meiosis contain ________ chromosomes.

Mitosis results in ____________________ and meiosis results in _______________________.

We learned that in the production of gametes, the germ cell will go through _______ rounds of cell division, resulting in ________ daughter cells that are ______________.

In prophase 1 of meiosis, homologous chromosomes pair up and crossover occurs. This means the gametes produced in meiosis 2 will be ___________________.

________________ are segments of the DNA molecule that code for particular proteins.

Pea plants can have purple or white flowers. If flower color is determined by a gene, then ________________ are the different forms of the gene that result in either purple or white flowers.

When making Punnett squares, you write the possible ___________________ outside the Punnett square, and the possible __________________ inside the Punnett square.

In a monohybrid cross you are observing the outcome of a cross between two parents with different alleles for one _____________.

In a dihybrid cross you are including the alleles for two different genes. If one parent is heterozygous for BOTH genes (RrYy), how many possible gametes with unique allele combinations can they contribute?

The resulting physical appearance or the expressed traits of an organism.

Gregor Mendel found that _________________ traits were more likely to be expressed in the plant phenotype, and that the alternative form would only be expressed if the offspring was homozygous __________________.

According to the law of _____________________, two alleles for the height gene will not be present in a single gamete. According to the law of _____________________, different genes such as color and height are inherited in various combinations.
