c)
The combination of genes for one or more specific traits
d)
An organism's appearance or other detectable characteristic
2.
Gregor Mendel
a)
Austrian Monk who studied pea plants and discovered the principles of heredity
b)
The combination of genes for one or more specific traits
c)
An organism's appearance or other detectable characteristic
d)
One set of instructions on a strand of DNA for an inherited trait
3.
Genotype
a)
The combination of genes for one or more specific traits
b)
An organism's appearance or other detectable characteristic
c)
One set of instructions on a strand of DNA for an inherited trait
d)
One of the alternative forms of a gene that govern for a certain characteristic
4.
Phenotype
a)
An organism's appearance or other detectable characteristic
b)
One set of instructions on a strand of DNA for an inherited trait
c)
One of the alternative forms of a gene that govern for a certain characteristic
d)

5.
Gene
a)
One set of instructions on a strand of DNA for an inherited trait
b)
One of the alternative forms of a gene that govern for a certain characteristic
c)
The trait observed in the first generation when parents that have different traits are bred
d)
no pairing of homologs occurs, one division, associated with growth and asexual reproduction, one division, two daughter cells produced, involves duplication of chromosomes, chromosome number is maintained, daughter cells are identical to parent cell.
6.
Allele
a)
One of the alternative forms of a gene that govern for a certain characteristic
b)
The trait observed in the first generation when parents that have different traits are bred
c)
no pairing of homologs occurs, one division, associated with growth and asexual reproduction, one division, two daughter cells produced, involves duplication of chromosomes, chromosome number is maintained, daughter cells are identical to parent cell.
d)
pairing of homologs occurs, two divisions, four daughter cells produced, associated with sexual reproduction, involves duplication of chromosomes, chromosome number is halved, crossing over between homologous chromosomes may occur, daughter cells are not identical to parent cell, produces gametes, synapsis (forming tetrads) occurs in prophase.
7.
Dominant
a)
The trait observed in the first generation when parents that have different traits are bred
b)
no pairing of homologs occurs, one division, associated with growth and asexual reproduction, one division, two daughter cells produced, involves duplication of chromosomes, chromosome number is maintained, daughter cells are identical to parent cell.
c)
pairing of homologs occurs, two divisions, four daughter cells produced, associated with sexual reproduction, involves duplication of chromosomes, chromosome number is halved, crossing over between homologous chromosomes may occur, daughter cells are not identical to parent cell, produces gametes, synapsis (forming tetrads) occurs in prophase.
d)
Condensed DNA
8.
Mitosis
a)
no pairing of homologs occurs, one division, associated with growth and asexual reproduction, one division, two daughter cells produced, involves duplication of chromosomes, chromosome number is maintained, daughter cells are identical to parent cell.
b)
pairing of homologs occurs, two divisions, four daughter cells produced, associated with sexual reproduction, involves duplication of chromosomes, chromosome number is halved, crossing over between homologous chromosomes may occur, daughter cells are not identical to parent cell, produces gametes, synapsis (forming tetrads) occurs in prophase.
c)
Condensed DNA
d)
growth and repair.
9.
Meiosis
a)
pairing of homologs occurs, two divisions, four daughter cells produced, associated with sexual reproduction, involves duplication of chromosomes, chromosome number is halved, crossing over between homologous chromosomes may occur, daughter cells are not identical to parent cell, produces gametes, synapsis (forming tetrads) occurs in prophase.
