with in order to study heredity?

3. $100 Answer from Mendel
Peas

4. $200 Question from Mendel
What are genes?

5. $200 Answer from Mendel Genes are individual factors that
control heredity.

6. $300 Question from Mendel What are the different forms of
genes called?

7. $300 Answer from Mendel
Alleles

8. $400 Question from Mendel

9. $400 Answer from Mendel During segregation alleles for the
same trait are separated.

10. $500 Question from Mendel Mrs. Johnson is homozygous for
brown hair (BB) and her husband is
homozygous for blonde hair (bb).
What would you call their offspring?
(You need BOTH terms)

11. $500 Answer from Mendel

12. $100 Question from Meiosis
What occurs during meiosis?

13. $100 Answer from Meiosis The number of chromosomes are
reduced and gametes are formed.

14. $200 Question from Meiosis
How many gametes are formed from
one cycle of meiosis in a male?

15. $200 Answer from Meiosis
4 sperm

16. $300 Question from Meiosis
In females what is the name and
purpose of the 3 sacrificed cells that result
from meiosis?

17. $300 Answer from Meiosis
Polar bodies

18. $400 Question from Meiosis
What does diploid mean?

19. $400 Answer from Meiosis A cell that contains both sets of
homologous chromosomes.

20. $500 Question from Meiosis
How is meiosis different from
Mitosis?

21. $500 Answer from Meiosis In mitosis you end up with 2 identical cells.
In meiosis you end up with 4 genetically
different sperm, or 1 genetically different egg
(different from other egg cells).

22. $100 Question from Key Terms

24. $200 Question from Key Terms
What are alleles and what are the
2 forms they can come in?

25. $200 Answer from Key Terms Alleles are different forms of genes
and they can be dominant or
recessive.

26. $300 Question from Key Terms
What do diploid and haploid
mean?

27. $300 Answer from Key Terms Diploid means the cell contains both
sets of chromosomes.
Haploid means the cell contains a
single set of chromosomes.

36. $300 Question from Punnett Squares
When is a test cross used?

37. $300 Answer from Punnett Squares
To find out the genotype of an unknown
organism that is showing a dominant trait.

52. Final Jeopardy
Mendel’s law of segregation states…

53. Final Jeopardy Answer
each pair of genes segregates or separates during meiosis. Result – half of an organism’s gametes contain one gene from a homologous chromosome, and half of the gametes contain the other gene.
