To Grow and Repair Cells

2
New cards

Mitosis

Makes Identical Body Cells

3
New cards

Meiosis

Makes Different Sex Cells

4
New cards

Gametes

Sex Cells - sperms and eggs

5
New cards

Interphase

DNA Gets Copied (replicated)

6
New cards

DNA Shape

Double Helix

7
New cards

DNA Location

Nucleus of Cell

8
New cards

DNA Purpose

Contains Instructions For Life (genes)

9
New cards

Gregor Mendel

Person To First Figure Out Kids Inherit Traits From Paretns

10
New cards

How Did Gregor Mendel Figure Out Traits

He Studied Pea Plants

11
New cards

Amount of Alleles Kids Get From Each Parents

1 Allele

12
New cards

The Two Types of Alleles

Dominant and Recessive

13
New cards

Genotypes

Homozygous and Heterozygous

14
New cards

Homozygous

Two Uppercase Letters or Two Lowercase Letters

15
New cards

Heterozygous

One Uppercase Letter and One Lowercase Letter

16
New cards

Phenotypes

The Actual Physical Trait That We Can See

17
New cards

What Do We Use To Figure Out The Probability of Traits of The Offspring?

Punnett Squares

18
New cards

Mutation

Change In Organisms DNA

19
New cards

What Can Cause Changes In DNA?

Errors In DNA Replication During Cell Division or Environmental Factors

20
New cards

The Three Types of Mutation to DNA

Substitution, Insertion, Deletion

21
New cards

The Three Ways Mutations Can Affect The Organism

Helpful, Harmful, Neutral

22
New cards

Complete Dominance

Dominant Allele Overpowers The Recessive Allele

23
New cards

Codominance

Neither Allele Is Dominant and Heterozygous Shows Both Traits

24
New cards

Incomplete Dominance

Dominant Allele Does Not Completely Mask The Recessive Allele and Heterozygous Shows A Blend

25
New cards

Sexlinked Traits Location

On One of The Sex Chromosomes

26
New cards

On Which Sex Chromosome Are Sexlinked Traits Usually Located

On The X Chromosome

27
New cards

Pedigree

Family Tree That Shows Genetic History

28
New cards

When Do Dominant Traits Show Up In a Pedigree?

In Every Generation

29
New cards

When Do Recessive Traits Show Up In a Pedigree?

In Every Other Generation

30
New cards

What Shape Is a Female On a Pedigree?

Circle

31
New cards

What Shape Is a Male On a Pedigree

Square

32
New cards

What Color Shows Normal On a Pedigree

White - for both men and women

33
New cards

What Color Shows Affected On a Pedigree

Black - for both men and women

34
New cards

How Is a Carrier Shown On a Pedigree

With One Half Black and One Half White - for both men and women except if it is talking about sexlinked traits men can not be carriers only affected or normal

35
New cards

Which Gender Do X Linked Traits Affect More

Males

36
New cards

How Many Parents Does Sexual Reproduction Need

2

37
New cards

What Kind of Organism Does Sexual Reproduction Occur In

Multicellular

38
New cards

What Is Inefficient About Sexual Reproduction

It Takes Lots of Time and Reproduces Less Offspring

39
New cards

Are Offspring Genetically Identical In Sexual Reproduction

No - more genetic variance

40
New cards

How Does Sexual Reproduction Affect Adaption

It Removes Bad Genes Which Allows For Adaptation

41
New cards

How Many Parents Does Asexual Reproduction Need

One

42
New cards

Are Offspring Genetically Identical To The Parents In Asexual Reproduction

Yes

43
New cards

How Is Asexual Reproduction More Efficient

It Is Faster and More Offspring Is Reproduced

44
New cards

5 Types of Asexual Reproduction

Budding, Binary Fission, Regeneration, Fragmentation, Vegetable Reproduction

45
New cards

Difference Between Budding and Vegetable Reproduction

Budding Is Very Quick While Vegetable Reproduction Is Slower

46
New cards

What Genetic Problem Happens With Asexual Reproduction

It Lacks Any Genetic Variance

47
New cards

How Does Asexual Reproduction Affect Adaptations

They Take Longer To Develop
