When mendel crossed yellow-seeded and green-seeded pea plants, all the offspring were yellow-seeded. When he took these F1 yellow-seeded plants and crossed them to green-seeded plants, what genotypic ratio was expected?

1:1

If there are 40 centromeres in a cell at anaphase of mitosis, how Many chromosomes will be found in each daughter cell following cytokinesis?

20

If the DNA content of a diploid cell in the G1 phase of the cell cycle is x, then the DNA content of the same cell at metaphase of meiosis I would be

38

A man has 6 fingers on each hand and 6 toes on each foot. HIs wife and their daughter have the normal number of digits. Remember that extra digits is a dominant trait. What fraction of this couples children would be expected to have extra digits?

50% or 1/2

A triploid cell contains three sets of homologous chromosomes. If a cell of a diploid species that normally has 42 chromosomes per cell is a triploid, this cell would be expected to have which set of chromosomes?

63 chromosomes in 21 sets of 3

Starting with a fertilized egg (zygote) , a series of six cell divisions would produce an early embryo with how many cells?

64

Through a microscope, you can see a cell plate beginning to develop across the middle fo a cell and nuclei forming on either side of the cell plate. This cell is most likely ______

A plant cell in the process of cytokinesis

In the cells of some organisms, mitosis occurs without cytokinesis. This will result in _____

Cells with more than one nucleus

What is the name of the microtubule-organizing center found in animal cells as an identifiable structure present during all phases of the cell cycle?

Centrosome

The drug cytochaslin B blocks the function of actin. Which of the following aspects of the animal cell cycle would be most disrupted by cytochalasin B?

Cleavage furrow formation and cytokinesis

Eukaryotic chromosomes are composed of which macromolecules?

DNA and proteins

The individual with the genotype AaBbCCDdEE can make many kids of gametes. Which correctly describes why this situation is possible?

Different possible assortment of chromosomes into gametes occurs

Cell A has half as much DNA as cells B, C, and D in a mitotically active tissue. Cell A is most likely in

G1

Measurements of the amount of DNA per nucleus were taken on a large number of cells from a growing fungus. The measured DNA levels ranged form 3 to 6 picograms per nucleus. In which stage of the cell cycle id the nucleus contain 6 picograms of DNA?

G2

Which statement is correct in comparing sexual and asexual reproduction?

In sexual reproduction, individuals transmit half of their nuclear genes to each of their offspring.

Why are males more often affected by sex-linked traits than females?

Males are hemizygous for the X chromosome

Movement of the chromosomes during anaphase would be most affected by a drug that prevents which of the following events in mitosis and cell division?

Shortening of microtubules

Meiosis 2 is similar to mitosis in that

Sister chromatids separate during anaphase

What is the chromosomal makeup of each daughter cell after telophase of meiosis 1?

The cells are haploid, and the chromosomes are each composed of two chromatids.

The decline of MPF at the end of mitosis is caused by

The degradation of cyclin

Describe the law of independent assortment

The law of independent assortment describes the behavior of two or more genes relative to one another.

What characteristics do homologous chromosomes exhibit?

They carry information for the same traits

How did mendel account for the observation that traits had disappeared in the F1 generation and then reappeared in the F2 generation?

Traits can be dominant or recessive, and the recessive traits were "hidden" by the dominant ones in the F1
