Asexual reproduction produces _____________________.

A gene is a _______________________.

A _______________ cell would be produced by meiosis.

A karyotype is _______________________.

A species with n = 42 chromosomes in its gametes has a haploid number of ________________.

Which step happens in both mitosis and meiosis?

After completion of meiosis I, a daughter cell has __________________.

Which of the following elements do all sexual life cycles in eukaryotic organisms have in common?

An organism's _____________________ describes its genetic makeup, specifically the alleles the organism has for a particular gene or genes.

When the two alleles for one gene separate into different gametes during meiosis, this is the basis for Mendel's law of _____________________.

In snapdragons, flower color alleles show incomplete dominance. If a red-flowered parent (CRCR) and a white-flowered parent (CrCr) are crossed, what fraction of the offspring will have pink flowers (CRCr)?

Which term describes the ability of a single gene to have multiple phenotypic effects?

The human disease sickle-cell anemia is caused by inheriting two copies of a mutant allele for one of the hemoglobin proteins. Carriers who have one copy of this allele are more resistant to malaria, an infectious disease transmitted by mosquitoes. If two heterozygous parents (Aa) have a child, what is the chance that the child will be heterozygous and resistant to malaria?

In humans, red-green color vision is inherited on the X chromosome. The dominant allele XC codes for normal color vision and the recessive allele Xc codes for red-green color blindness. If two parents, XCXc and XCY, have a child, what is the chance that the child will have color blindness?

When two genes are close together on the same chromosome, they are often inherited together and they can be described as _______________________ genes.
