  1. These for a gene.
    Alleles
  2. These determine a trait
    Genes
  3. Is the genetic makeup of an organism.
    Genotype
  4. is what the organism looks like
    Phenotype
  5. both alleles are the same
    homozygous
  6. the two alleles are different
    heterozygous
  7. A cross between individuals who are both heterozygotes for one gene.
    monohybrid
  8. A cross between individuals who are heterozygous for two genes.
    dihybrid
  9. this is the raito pf progeny phenotypes in a cross between monohybrids.
    3:1
  10. THis is the ratio of progent genotypes in a cross between monohybrids
    1:2:1
  11. this is the ratio of progeny genotypes in a cross between a heterozygote and a recessive homozygote.
    1:1
  12. All progeny are the same phenotype.
    1:0
  13. Ratio of progeny phenotypes in a dihybrid cross
    9:3:3:1
  14. Cells such as gametes of humans that contain only one copy of each chromosome pair.
    Haploid (n)
  15. Cells that contain both copies of a homologous chromosome pair.
    Diploid (2n)
  16. The two copies of a single chromosome that result after chromosome replication during S Phase.
    Sister chromatids
  17. Terms that describe the postion of the centromere on a chromosome.
    Metacentric/acrocentric
  18. chromosomes that match in shape, size, and banding because they have the same set of genes.
    homologous chromosomes
  19. chromosomes that do not match because they have different sets of genes
    nonhomologous chromosomes
  20. a representation of an organism?s genome made by arranging micrographs of each chromosome as homologous pairs of decreasing size.
    karyptype
  21. the gene found on the Y chromosome in humans and other mammals whose presence determines maleness
    SRY
  22. chromosomes that do not determine sex and that are found as homologous pairs.
    autosomes
  23. regions containing about 30 genes that are found on both the X and Y chromosomes in humans.
    pseudoautosomal regions (PARs)
  24. repeating pattern of cell growth and division. Interphase (the period between cell divisions) consists of G1, S (the time of chromosome replication), and G2. The cells divide during M phase, and the daughter cells separate from each other through cytokinesis at the end of M phase
    cell cycle
  25. cellular structure made of microtubules emanating from two spindle poles that forms during M phase and guides chromosome movements.
    spindle
  26. structures found at centromeres that connect the chromosomes to the microtubule fibers of the spindle.
    Kinetochores
  27. cell division that preserves the number and kinds of chromosomes. Successive rounds of mitosis starting from a fertilized zygote create a multicellular organism whose somatic cells are genetically identical
    mitosis
  28. exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes that takes place during prophase of meiosis I at sites called chiasmata.
    crossing-over
  29. rare mistakes that occur during cell division in which chromosomes or chromatids that should separate from each other fail to separate from each other.
    nondisjunction
  30. this type of dominance as a 1:2:1 phenotype ratio.
    Incomplete dominance
  31. Recessive lethality results in what kind of ratio?
    2:1
  32. Occurs when one gene affects multiple traits
    Pleiotropy
  33. Parallel gene interactions produce what kind of phenotype ratios for a single trait.
    9:3:3:1
  34. Serial gene interactions (complementary gene action ) produces these ratios.
    9:7
  35. Recessive epistasis produces what kind of ratios for a single trait?
    9:4:3
  36. Dominant epistasis produces what kind of ratio?
    12:3:1 or 13:1
  37. Redundant genes produce what kind of ratio?
    15:1
