CHAPTER 10
Study Guide Section 1: Meiosis

In your textbook, read about meiosis I and meiosis II.

Label the diagrams below. Use these choices:

anaphase I anaphase II interphase metaphase I metaphase II

prophase I prophase II telophase I telophase II

1. Prophase | 2. Prophase || 3. Telophase || 4. Interphase 5. Anaphase |

6. Telophase | 7. Anaphase || 8. Metaphase | 9. Metaphase ||

Complete the table by checking the correct column(s) for each description.

Description Mitosis Meiosis

10. Involved in the production of gametes

11. Involved in growth and repair

12. Promotes genetic variation in organisms

13. Consists of one nuclear division

14. Produces daughter cells that are genetically identical

15. Involves two sets of nuclear divisions

16. Produces daughter cells that are not identical

17. Involves the synapsis of homologous chromosomes

18. Occurs during asexual reproduction

CHAPTER 10
Study Guide Section 2: Mendelian Genetics

In your textbook, read about how genetics began and the inheritance of traits.
Write the term or phrase that best completes each statement. Use these choices:

cross-pollination dominant gametes inherited

recessive self-fertilization trait

1. Mendel was the first person to succeed in predicting how traits are Inherited
from generation to generation.
2. In peas, both male and female sex cells, which are called Gametes , are in the
same flower.
3. Self-fertilization occurs when a male gamete fuses with a female gamete in the
same flower.
4. Mendel used the technique called Cross-pollination to breed one plant with another.
5. Mendel studied only one Trait at a time and analyzed his data
mathematically.
6. In individuals with a heterozygous genotype, the Recessive allele of a trait is
hidden by the expression of the other phenotype.
7. In individuals with a heterozygous genotype, the Dominant allele of a trait is
visible in the phenotype.

In your textbook, read about Punnett squares.

Complete the Punnett square by filling in the missing information.

In your textbook, read about the inheritance of traits and Punnett squares.
Use each of the terms below only once to complete the passage.

dihybrid gene genotypes monohybrid phenotypic ratio

A cross between plants that involves one characteristic is called a (13) Monohybrid
cross. Mendel also performed (14) Dihybrid crosses, which involve two
(15) Gene pairs, with pea plants. When he crossed two pea plants that
were heterozygous for both seed shape (Rr) and for seed color (Yy), he observed a 9:3:3:1
(16) Phenotypic ratio among the seeds of the offspring. A Punnett square shows
the possible phenotypes and (17) Genotypes of the offspring.

Complete the Punnett square by filling in the missing information.
