A | B |
Meiosis | happens in the gametes; sperm or egg cell; and produces haploid cell |
If somatic cell has 46 chromosomes, its sperm or egg has | 23 chromosomes |
Exchange of genetic material occurs during | crossing over |
It takes how many codes to make 1 amino acids? | 3 |
If 3 codes = 1 amino acid, how many codes are used for 3 amino acids? | 9 |
mRNA | carries the blueprint of genetic code |
What happens during anaphase I? | homologous chromosomes are separating and pulled away from the center. |
What happens during anaphase II? | sister chromatids are separating and pulled away from the center |
If mitosis is diploid, meiosis is | haploid |
Why do we use probability question in genetics? | To predict the traits of offspring. |
Is Uracil a base for DNA or RNA? | RNA |
Are Thymine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Adenine present in DNA or RNA? | DNA |
Why is DNA semi-conservative? | one strand is new while the other is old. |
Is deoxyribose a sugar of DNA or RNA? | DNA |
Is ribose a sugar of DNA or RNA? | RNA |
What is independent assortment? | It is a random combinations of chromosomes in meiosis. |
In what stage of meiosis independent assortment occurs? | Metaphase I |
Heterozygous alleles are combinations of | One uppercase and one lowercase i.e. Aa, Bb, Cc, Dd |
According to Mendel's experiment, dominant allele | tends to hide or mask the recessive allele |
If two heterozygous parents are crossed, what is the chance that the offspring will show both the dominant and recessive gene? | 50/50 chance |
