32
Q

What is the modern process of adding genetic material to a virus or bacteria?

A

Genetic engineering

33
Q

List two similarities between meiosis And mitosis.

A 
Same stages (PMAT)
Both have an interphase
34
Q

List 5 differences between meiosis and mitosis.

A

Mitosis - in body cells(somatic), chromosome number stays the same, PMAT once, 2 cells produced, for growth and repair
Meiosis- in sex cells, chromosome number is reduced by 1/2, PMAT twice, 4 cells are produced, for reproduction

35
Q

Name the type of inheritance in the following situation:

A red bull mated with a white cow produces a roan calf.

A

Codominance

36
Q

Name the type of inheritance in the following situation:

In crosses of many red eyed fruit flies, we find that the offspring consists of many more white eyed males than females.

A

X linked traits

37
Q

Name the type of inheritance in the following situation:

Crosses of fruit flies with 8 chromosomes result in some offspring with 7 chromosomes and others with 9 chromosomes.

A

Nondisjunction

38
Q

Name the type of inheritance in the following situation:coat color in Guinea pigs occurs in four forms: black, white, brown, and gray.

A

Multiple alleles

39
Q

Name the type of inheritance in the following situation:

Crosses of pure breeding right hand people with pure breeders left handed ones results in all right handed ones.

A

Dominance

40
Q

What are the five stages of mitosis in order?

A

Interphase - Prophase - Metaphase - Anaphase - Telophase

41
Q

What major event(s) occurs in interphase?

A

Cells are growing rapidly, developing new structures and duplicating it’s DNA

42
Q

What happens in prophase?

A

Chromosomes condense, nuclear envelope disappears.

43
Q 
Crossing over occurs during 
A- anaphase I
B- metaphase I
C- prophase I
D- prophase II
A

C

44
Q

What stage do the majority of cells spend their time in?

A

Interphase

45
Q

During what phase is DNA replicated?

A

Interphase

46
Q

What occurs in metaphase?

A

Chromosomes move to the centre of the cell and align along the equatorial plate perpendicular to the spindle.

47
Q

State the major event(s) that occur in anaphase.

A

Chromosomes strands separate and the chromatids are pulled towards the poles of the cell.

48
Q

What occurs in telophase?

A

Chromosomes father at the poles and the nuclear envelope beings to form.

49
Q

What is the genetic disorder that has an extra 21 chromosome?

A

Down’s syndrome

50
Q

What is the genetic disorder that has an extra sex chromosome?

A

Klinefelters syndrome

51
Q

What is the genetic disorder that has an extra chromosome 13?

A

Trisomy 13 syndrome

52
Q

Who can blood type O donate to?

A

Everyone - universal donor. Because it has no antigens.

53
Q

Which blood type is the universal acceptor? And why?

A

Type AB because it has both antigens and no antibodies, allowing it to receive from anyone.

54
Q

Can blood type A receive from AB?

A

No because type A does not have the antigen B.
