2). A gene's location along a chromosome is known as ______

3) Chiasmata are what we see under a microscope that let us know that_____

4) Homologous chromosomes are separated happens at the conclusion of_____

5) Synapsis of chromosomes occurs in________ but not in______

6) How does the sexual life cycle increase the genetic variation in a species?

7)Homologous chromosomes move toward opposite poles of a dividing cell during______

8) How many different combination of maternal and paternal chromosomes can be packaged in gametes made by an organism with a diploid number of 8 (2n-8)?

9) In certain plants,tall is dominant to short, If a heterozygous plant is crossed with a homozygous tall plant, what is the probability that the offspring will be short?

10) Skin pigmentation in humans is an example of ______ inheritance.

11)Huntington's disease is a dominant condition with late age of onset in humans. If one parent has the disease, what is the probability that his or her child wii be short.

12) A woman has six sons.The chance that her next child will be a daughter is________

13)Having two identical alleles for a gene is called_______

14) The genetic makeup of an individual is called________

15)They have a daughter who is a dwarf with normal color vision. What is the probability that she is heterozygous for both genes?

16)The mechanism for the production of genetic recombinants is called______

17) Women with Turner syndrome have a genotype characterized as ________

19)The assimilation of external DNA into bacteria is called________

20) What is meant by the description ''antiparallel'' regarding the strands that make up DNA?

Explanation / Answer

1. Genome

2. Locus (the locus is the location of a gene on chromosome)

3. Crossing over

4. Homologus chromosomes are separated at Meiosis I

5. Synapsis is the pairining of homologus of chromosomes that occur in Prophase I of Meiosis not occur in Mitosis

6. By allowing Crossing over

7. Anaphase I of Meiosis

8. The answer is 16 (There are 4 chromosomes in a gamete and each are 2 homologus pairs, so the answer is 2^4 = 16)

9. 0

10. Polygenic inheritence (multiple gene)
