Document Summary

Parts of a chromosome: centromere, short arm, long arm, telomere. Homologous chromosome- a pair of matching chromosomes, one homolog from each parent. Haploid (n)- one copy of genetic material subdivided into chromosomes. Diploid (2n)- two copies of genetic material subdivided into chromosomes. Classification of eukaryotic chromosomes: position of centromere, metacentric, submetacentric, acrocentric, telocentric, length of chromosome. Evidence that suggested heritable information is found on chromosome: chromosome number is species specific, ex. 2 (2n + c2) and an extra chromo 3 (2n + c3) etc : each of these 12 plants exhibit a different phenotype. Link between phenotype and chromosome: sex chromosomes: chromosomes represented differently in the two sexes. Mcclung, stevens and wilson showed that chromosomes determine the sex of an o organism (insects) o. Flies, humans: x and y chromos are paired and segregate away from each other during cell division. Cytology- the study of cells (chromosomes that we can see)

Distinguish between somatic cells and germ (gametes) cells. Describe the cell cycle. What are the different phases? What occurs during S phase? What is interphase? How is the cell cycle controlled?

Where does it form? What is its role? What is the role of microtubules in mitosis? What is a centriole and what is it composed of? What is a centrosome and what is its role in mitosis? What is the metaphase plate and why is this important? What is the mitotic spindle, its role and its makeup? What defines a diploid cell? How many copies of each chromosome is in a diploid cell? What about a haploid cell? Why do the daughter cells of mitosis always have the same complement of chromosomes?

Describe meiosis. What are the phases of meiosis? What occurs in each of the phases of meiosis? Distinguish between meiosis I and meiosis II and describe how each of these processes compare to mitosis. Why do animal cells undergo meiosis? What is a gamete? What is a zygote? What are recombination, crossing-over, and chiasma? When and why does this occur? What is meant by 'homologous pair of chromosomes'?

Distinguish between the P, F1, and F2 generations. What is a true-breeding line? What is the genotype and phenotype of a cross between homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive parents? If the F1 progeny are crossed, what would be the genotype and phenotype of the F2 generation? What would be the phenotypic ratio? What would be the genotypic ratio? Be ready to generate Punnet square tests or probability analyses of crosses involving more than one genetic locus. Describe a dihybrid cross where two alleles are homozygous dominant in one parent and homozygous recessive in the other. What would be the phenotypic ratio of the F2 generation from this dihybrid cross? What is meant by independent assortment? Be prepared to calculate probabilities resulting from different crosses.

Distinguish between complete and incomplete dominance. How would incomplete dominance alter the results of a hybrid cross? What would the resulting F2 generation phenotype and genotype ratios be? What is codominance? How does this affect the results of crosses? Be prepared to determine likely blood types of parents based on the blood types of their offspring. What is a polygenic trait?
