Who was Gregor Mendel?

He was a monk who first used probability to explain inheritance in pea plants

He is well known for his experiments on tomato plants.

He is known as the father of modern archaeology.

5

Which of the following is not true about Meiosis

It involves one diploid cell forming four egg or sperm cells

It involves crossing over between chromosomes which makes independent assortment of alleles possible

It can happen to most of the cells in our body

It makes sexual reproduction possible

It allows bacteria to reproduce asexually.

8

Select ALL of the follwoing that are true about Sexual Reproduction.

offspring are unique and look different from parents

offspring is produced by only ONE parent

specific forms include budding, fragmentation, and binary fission

offspring is produced by TWO parents genetically combining

fish, amphibians, and mammals can reproduce this way

it is more time intensive

bacteria, yeast, hydra, and flatworms can reproduce this way

genetic variation from the parent can also come from mutations in the DNA of the offspring

5

Which of the following are true about Mitosis

It involves one diploid cell forming two identical diploid cells

It happens most quickly to our skin cells and the lining of our digestive tract

It results in one diploid cell forming four egg or sperm cells

It allows bacteria to reproduce Asexually

8

Select ALL of the following that are true about Asexual Reproduction.

bacteria, yeast, hydra, and flatworms can reproduce this way

genetic variation from the parent mostly comes from mutations in the DNA of the offspring

organisms who reproduce this way can reproduce in as little as 20 minutes

specific forms include budding, fragmentation, and binary fission

fish, amphibians, and mammals can reproduce this way

offspring are identical to their parents

offspring is produced by only ONE parent

offspring is produced by TWO parents genetically combining

Match the following terms with their description

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
diploid		examples are eggs and sperm
pigment		describes most cells in our bodies, having two pairs of each chromosome
embryo		the cell formed when a sperm fertilizes an egg
gametes		the growing mass of cells as a zygote increases in size through mitosis
zygote		substance like chlorophyll or melanin that can absorb some colors of light

What is a trait?

an inherited physical characteristics passed from parent to offspring.

the passing of traits from parents to offspring

a piece of DNA that controls the development of one or more traits

a piece of DNA that controls the development of one or more traits

a different form of a gene

the passing of traits from parents to offspring

a characteristic of an organism

1

What is a gene?

a different form of a gene

the passing of traits from parents to offspring

a characteristic of an organism

a section of DNA that controls the development of one or more traits

1

What is an Allele?

a piece of DNA that controls the development of one or more traits

a characteristic of an organism

a different form or version of a gene

the passing of traits from parents to offspring

What is a punnett square?

A model used to show the cross of true-breeding pea plants.

A model used to determine exact genotypes of offspring.

A model used to predict possible genotypes of offspring.

None of the choices are correct.

Directions: Black is the DOMINANT fur color for rabbits and white is the recessive. B stands for the black allele and b represents the white allele. A white rabbit would have a genotype of bb and a black rabbit could have a genotype of BB or Bb.
