25
Why is DNA replication an important process for cell division?
To pass genetics from generation to generation
26
How does meiosis produce genetic variation in the egg and sperm?
Independent assortment and crossing over

46 23
28
What types of cells are haploid? What type of cells are diploid?
Haploid= Sex cells Diploid= Somatic cells
29
Dominant
Stronger form of a gene
30

Genotype
BB,Bb,bb
32
Phenotype
Characteristics based on genes
33
Homozygous
Two of the same things
34
Heterozygous
Two different things
35
Trait
A specific characteristic of an individual
36
Allele
Version of a gene
37
Monohybrid
A single trait cross
38
Dihybrid
Two different genes
39
Sex-linked
Traits carried through sex chromosomes
40
Co-Dominance
Both alleles are dominant
41
Incomplete dominance
Both alleles combine For example, Red and White flower combine into pink flower
42
Multiple alleles
Versions of a trait within a population
43
Polygenic traits
3 or more genes contribute to a trait
44
Who is the father of genetics?
Gregor Mendel
