Sister chromatids: identical copy of chromosome
What would be the result if a chromosome did not have a kinetochore?
Spindle microtubules would not attach to the chromosome.
Some daughter cells would be missing a chromosome, others would have double
describe interphase
stage in the cell cycle where a cell grows, replicates DNA, and prepares cell division
what are the phases in Interphase
G1: grows cell
“Synthesis” S: DNA replication
sister chromatids
G2: more growth and prep for cell division
M phase: meiosis/mitosis
separation of cytoplasm
what is mitosis
separation of sister chromatids
What is phase 1 of mitosis
Interphase: centromeres form to pull DNA

Prophase: condenses chromosomes
What is phase 3 of mitosis
Prometaphase: breaks down nuclear envelope

metaphase: lines up in middle
Phase 5 of mitosis
Anaphase: separates sister chromosomes
What is phase 6 of mitosis

Spermatogenesis
What is oogenesis
female gamete production
Reasons for Mendel’s Sucessn
had a good experimental model
took an experimental approach and analyzed results mathematically
What is a gene
inherited factor that determines a trait
Define allele
different variates if genes
Where do you locate an allele
locus
describe a set of alleles
genotype
heterozygous
2 different alleles at a locus
homozygous
2 of the same alleles at a locus
monohybrid crossed
a genetic cross where two parents differ in a single trait
Dominant is …
a version of a gene that is expressed, even with one copy
AA Aa
Recessive is…
2 copies from each parent to express trait
aa Aa
What is the principle of segregation
a living organism has 2 versions of each gene. when gametes are produced the 2 versions separate and each cell gets one version of the gene
What is the addition rule
the “or” rule
it can be this “OR” this
What is the multiplication rule
the “and” rule
it can be this “and” this
dihybrid crosses
examines 2 traits at a time
describe independent assortment
the way one gene is inherited from parent doesn’t affect how another gene is inherited
What is the Chi-square goodness of fit test
indicates the probability between observed (O) and expected (E) values are due to chance
What is the formula and steps for the Chi-square goodness of fit test
calculate chi-square
