Q

What occurs in Prophase I?

A

nuclear membrane disappears, centrioles migrate to opposite poles, spindle starts forming & organizing, chromosomes finish condensing, spindle attaches to chromosomes at centromere (spindle attaches to only 1 side of chromosome)

23
Q

What occurs in Telophase I?

A

spindle fibers disappear, chromosome arrive at opposite poles; sometimes nuclear membrane reappear (sometimes it moves straight into Prophase II); chromosomes uncoil

24
Q

What occurs in Prophase II?

A

nuclear envelope disappears; chromosomes recoil; spindle reforms; centrioles migrate to opposite poles (spindle each chromosomes on both sides)

25
Q

What occurs in Metaphase II?

A

chromosomes alighn along equator of cell

26
Q

What occurs in Anaphase II?

A

sisters chromatids spearate as the spindle contracts

27
Q

What occurs in Telophase II?

A

chromosomes arrive at opposite poles; spindle disappears; nuclear membrane reappears; cells prepare for cytokinesis

28
Q

What occurs in cytokinesis of meiosis?

A

cytoplasm is divided; there are now 4 qhaploid cells

29
Q

genotype

A

the alleles possessed by an organism

30
Q

phenotype

A

the characteristic observed in an organism

31
Q

homozygous

A

having 2 identical alleles

32
Q

heterozygous

A

having 2 different alleles

33
Q

dominant

A

a trait that affects the phenotype whether it is in homozygous or heterozygous form

34
Q

recessive

A

a trait that affects the phenotype only when it is in homozygous form

35
Q

carrier

A

an individual that has the recessive allele of a gene but does not show any affect

36
Q

co-dominance

A

both traits have an effect on phenotype

37
Q

What are the two types of co-dominance?

A

co-dominant

incomplete dominance

38
Q

co-dominant

A

both traits show up on the phenotype. one is not stronger than the other

39
Q

incomplete dominance

A

the two traits blend & create an intermediate trait; generally creates extra phenotype

40
Q

monohybrid crosses

A

two organisms are “crossed” (mating) and 1 trait is observed

41
Q

test cross

A

breeding an unknown organism with a homozygous recessive

42
Q

When is a trait sex-linked?

A

A trait is sex-linked when it is on the non-homologous region of the x-chromosomes

43
Q

HOw many alleles will a male have in the non-homologous?

A

For any gene in this region a male will only have one allele

44
Q

What are males genotype stipulations?

A

males cannot be carriers (it either has it or not); male will pass a trait to his daughters (not his sons); males with conditions always inherit them from their mothers

45
Q

What are the 4 possible blood types?

A

A, B, AB, & 0

46
Q

What blood type alleles are co-dominant with each other, but dominant over 0?

A

A & B

47
Q

Antigen

A

protein on a surface of cell

48
Q

characteristics of blood type A

A

has red blood cells with Antigen A and produces antibodies for blood type B

49
Q

characteristics of blood type B

A

has antigen B on blood cells and produces antibodies for type A

50
Q

characteristics of blood type AB

A

has both A & B antigens and does not produce antibodies

51
Q

characteristics of blood type 0

A

does not have antigens, but produces both antibodies A & B

52
Q

What blood type is a universal acceptor?

A

AB

53
Q

What blood type is a universal donor?

A

0

54
Q

Rh Factor

A

an antigen on blood cells

55
Q

What are the characteristics of Rh-?

A

produces antibodies for Rh+, and can donate to Rh+ AND Rh- patients

56
Q

What are the characteristics of Rh+?

A

does not produce antibodies for Rh. It can only donate to Rh+

57
Q

pedigree

A

diagrams used by geneticists to collect info on human families.
