What is the probability of offspring with black fur If a homozygous black guinea pig (BB) is crossed with a homozygous white guinea pig (bb)?
100%
|
Budding is a type of ___________.
Asexual Reproduction
|
What is the notation WW mean to geneticists?
Two dominant alleles
|
What cells replicate in mitosis?
Somatic or body cells
|
What is an organism's physical appearnace?
phenotype
|
What is the probability of producing a tall plant from a genetic cross of two hybid tall plants (Tt)?
Three out of four (3/4)
|
A cut willow branch grows roots in moist soil, this is an example of asexual reproduction known as_________.
Cloning
|
What is the notation ww mean to geneticists?
Two recessive alleles
|
What cells replicate in meiosis?
Sex cells (or germ cells or gametes)
|
What do scientist call an organism that has two different alleles for a trait?
Hybrid
|
What is the percentage of chromosomes each sex cell will contribute?
50%
|
What is an organism that is an example of selective breeding?
Yorkshire terriers,Jersey cattle, Pot-bellied pig
|
An organism that has two identical alleles for the trait is called_____.
Homozygous
|
What is the phase of the cell cycle does DNA replicate making it vulerable to miscoding and possible genetic disorders such as Down syndrome,sickel-cell anemia, or cystic fibrosis?
Interphase
|
What are the different forms of a gene called?
Alleles
|
What is the probability of offspring with brown eyed cat(Bb) mating with another brown eyed cat(Bb) having brown eyes?
75%
|
Why are sex linked traits more common in males than in females?
A recessive allele on the X chromosome will always produce the trait in the male. (They only have 1 X - XY where as females have 2X's- XX)
|
What are the possible combination of alleles for brown eyes?
Bb or BB
|
What happens in stage 3 of mitosis?
Anaphase- sister chromatids that have lined up in the cell seperate. Spindle fibers shorten pulling the chromatids to opposite sides of the cell. At the same time the cell begins to elongate for the final stage of cell division.
|
What is an organism's genotype?
Genetic make up
|
What is the probability of offspring with brown eyed cat(Bb) mating with another brown eyed cat(Bb) having blue eyes?
25%
|
Creating insulin to treat people with diabetes is an example of what ?
Benefit of genetic engineering
|
The presence of hair on the middle section of fingers (H) is dominant trait in humans. Two parents with this dominant trait have children. Some have the trait while others do not. What is the genotypes of the parents?
Hh and Hh
|
What are the stages in order of meiosis I and meiosis II?
prophase I, metaphase I, anaphase I, and telophase I
then prophase II, metaphase II, anaphase II, and telophase II |
