What test is used to detect mutagenesis in a chemical?
The Ames Test.
1 of 11
What are the 4 repair mechanism that deal with UV damage?
Photoreactivation, Excision repair, Post-replication recombinational repair and SOS processing.
2 of 11
What are the 4 main stages of the cell cycle?
DNA replication (S), Mitosis (M) separated by two gap periods (G1 and G2).
3 of 11
When do chiasmata form?
During prophase I of meiosis.
4 of 11
What is Recombination Frequency (RF)?
(number of recombinants/total progeny) x 100
5 of 11
What does and RF of 50% indicate?
That the genes are not linked and are recombining freely. The two genes are on non-homologous chromosomes.
6 of 11
What are Multifactorial traits?
Traits influenced by multiple genes and the environment.
7 of 11
What distribution to quantitative traits show?
A normal distribution (a bell shaped curve).
8 of 11
What is the Karyotype?
The number and visual appearance of the chromosomes in the cell nuclei.
9 of 11
What is anueploidy?
A condition in which the chromosome number is not an exact multiple of the haploid number.
10 of 11
How do bacteria divide?
By binary fission to produce two daughter cells.
