15
The chromosomal theory that states that "paired factors" are inherited, segregated during gamete formation, and independently sorted.
Mendel's Law
16
The chromosomal theory that states that chromosomes occur in pairs and are inherited from parents (maternal & parental chromosome), segregated in gamete formation (haploid), and are segregated independently.
Chromosomal Theory of Inheritance
17
Who and when was the Chromosomal Theory of Inheritance discovered?
Sutton & Boveri, 1902
18
Where were polytene chromosomes first discovered?
Insects
18
What chromosomal inheritance law describes the presence of red and white flowers?
Mendel's Law
18
Who and when was the Mendel's Law discovered?
Mendel, 1865
18
Who and when were polytene chromosomes discovered?
Balbiani, 1881
18
What chromosomal inheritance law describes the presence of pink flowers?
Chromosomal Theory of Inheritance
18
Who made the 1st genetic linkage maps from fruit fly?
Morgan Sturtevant Bridges Muller
18
Unique compared to humans because supposedly, it should be bind, instead they are stacking on top of one another. It occurs in insects.
Polytene Chromosomes
18
This is a transduction (type of gene transfer) experiment
Blender Experiment
18
Who pioneered plant cytogenetics in 1920?
Cyril Darlington
18
When was it ascertained that the genetic material is a DNA and not a protein?
1944
18
Who came up with the blender experiment?
Hershey-Chase
18
This utilized two microorganisms (bacteriophage as the predator and bacterium as the prey) to prove that DNA is the genetic material
Blender Experiment
18
This is the life cycle done by the predator in attacking its prey. Specifically, this is achieved by injecting genetic material into the host to create new viruses inside, thereby destroying the bacterium.
Lytic Cycle
19
What are the two life cycles of a bacteriophage when infecting its prey?
Lytic Lysogenic
19
In Hershey and Chase's experiment, in which part of the test tube was the DNA seen?
Sediment
19
The process wherein the bacteriophage injects its genetic material and stores it there for a period of time-synthesizing viral proteins (bacterium gets to live for another day).
Lysogenic Cycle
19
Who conducted the Transformation Experiment?
Frederick Griffith
19
In the Hersey and Chase experiment, where was the bacteriophage supposed to be found?
Supernatant
19
Who tried to prove that the genetic material is DNA first?
Frederick Griffith
20
Who was successful in proving that the genetic material is DNA?
Hershey and Chase
21
What was the organism used in Frederick Griffith's transformation experiment?
Streptococcus pneumoniae
21
This is the strain that does not contain any capsule and can easily be destroyed by macrophages. Thus, no disease will be caused.
R Strain
22
The strain that contains capsule. Macrophages will not be able to detect, thereby causing a disease.
S Strain
22
Who discovered the amount of nitrogen base in chromosomes?
Chargaff
22
Who discovered the double-helical structure of DNA?
Watson and Crick
22
The rule that states that if a eukaryote has an abstract of DNA, there is an equal ratio of adenine and thymine, guanine and cytosine.
Chargaff's Rule
23
He proved the presence of mRNA or messenger RNA.
Crick
23
What disease is characterized by Trisomy 21?
Down Syndrome
24
What disease is characterized by Trisomy 47 XXY?
Klinefelter's Syndrome
24
What disease is characterized by Trisomy 45X?
Turner's Syndrome
24
Klinefelter's Syndrome
Patau Syndrome
24
What disease is characterized by Trisomy 18?
Edward Sydrome
24
Philadelphia chromosome is found in who?
Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Patients

What is the gender and condition of the karyotype?
Female, Patau Syndrome (Trisomy 13)
31
What is the gender and condition of the karyotype?
Male, Edward Syndrome (Trisomy 18)
32

33
Used as a drug, but in cytogenetics to arrest development
