Document Summary
Diploid: having two versions (homologs) of each type of chromosome (2n) Haploid: having only one set of chromosomes (i. e. bacteria, archaea, algae, and many times of fungi have cells that contain only one set of chromosomes, and are therefore, haploid organisms) Haploid number: the number of distinct, different types of chromosomes in a cell symbolized as n. Ploidy: the number of chromosome sets (n, 2n, 3n, etc. ) present. Stating a cell"s ploidy is the same things as stating the number of haploid chromosome sets present. Chromosome: gene-carrying structure consisting of a single long molecule of double-stranded. Chromatid: one of the two identical double-stranded dnas that are connected at the centromere and compose a replicated chromosome. Segregation because in f1, all yellow and round (dominant) but in f2, the recessive traits show up again. Independent assortment because you have every single combination of the possible phenotypes. Segregation: alleles of the same gene separate independently.
