?
What is the correct sequence of meiosis?
P1 M1 A1 T1 P2 M2 A2 T2
1 of 23
What is the name given to a homologous pair of chromosomes?
Bivalent
2 of 23
What is the name given to points where non - sister chromatids wrap around each other and join up
Chiasma
3 of 23
What is a phenotype?
An observable characteristic
4 of 23
What is linkage?
When two genes for different characteristics are present at different loci on the same chromosome
5 of 23
When does crossing over occur?
Prophase I
6 of 23
After meiosis II, each daughter cells will be what?
Haploid
7 of 23
What is codominance?
A characteristic where both alleles contribute to the phenotype
8 of 23
A homogametic female will have which chromosomes?
**
9 of 23
Why is haemophillia, a recessive, sex linked disease coded for by an allele only carried on the X chromosome, more common in men?
Men only have one X chromosome so can only carry one allele
10 of 23
If the presence of a recessive allele prevents the expression of another this is what?
Recessive epistasis
11 of 23
A phenotypic ratio of 9:3:3:1 suggests what?
Normal dihybrid inheritance
12 of 23
A phenotypic ratio of 9:3:4 suggests what?
Recessive epistasis
13 of 23
A phenotypic ratio of 9:7 suggests what?
Epistasis by complimentary action
14 of 23
What is the critical value for a Chi - squared (X^2) test
0.05
15 of 23
What is the Chi - squared (X^2) test used for?
Checking the results of a genetic cross
16 of 23
If your value for Chi - squared (X^2) is BELOW the critical value, what is your assumption?
Accept null hypothesis - any difference is due to chance and is not significance
17 of 23
Should the sample size be small or large for a Chi - squared (X^2) test?
Large
18 of 23
Can the Chi - squared (X^2) test be used for data presented as percentages or ratios?
No
19 of 23
Can the Chi - squared (X^2) test be used when there are zero scores?
No
20 of 23
What does the O stand for in a Chi - squared (X^2) test?
Observed
21 of 23
A phenotypic ratio of 12:3:1 or 13:3 suggests what?
Dominant epistasis
22 of 23
A, B and O are all alleles coding for blood type, which is recessive?
O
