1. Compare mitosis and meiosis, and their role in the cell-division
cycle (S8LT-IVd-16)
LEARNING 2. Explain the significance of meiosis in maintaining the
COMPETENCY WITH chromosome number (S8LT-IVe-17)
CODE 3. Predict phenotypic expressions of traits following simple
patterns of inheritance (S8LT-IVf-18)

# QUESTION ANSWER
1. 0:17 What is the passing on of traits from parents to Heredity
offspring?
2. 0:24 What is the science that deals with the study of Genetics
heredity?
3. 0:30 What do we call the characteristics that can be Trait
passed from parent to offspring?
4. 0:43 What are the two characteristics of traits? Inherited and Behavioral
5. 0:46 What characteristics can be passed on from Inherited
one generation to the next?
6. 0:59 What are some examples of inherited traits? Can roll tongue, free earlobe, widows peak, hitchhiker’s
thumb
7. 1:12 What characteristic is influenced by the Behavioral
environment that one lives in?
8. 1:20 How can a behavioral trait be learned? Through observation or teaching
9. 1:32 What is a variation? It is the differences among individuals.
10. 1:36 What are the sources of variation? Mutation, Recombination, and Immigration of genes
11. 1:47 Who was the founder of Mendelian Genetics? Gregor Mendel
12. 2:19 What trait is always expressed, or shown? Dominant trait
13. 2:30 What trait is covered up or seems to Recessive trait
disappear?
14. 2:43 What is the basic physical unit of inheritance? Genes
15. 3:06 Where do genes come from? An individual needs 2 genes for each trait- one gene from
each parent
16. 3:13 What do we call the gene pair? allele
17. 3:27 What is a structure in the cell that contains the Chromosome
genetic information?
18. 3:59 What chromosome is for females? X-chromosome
19. 4:00 What chromosome is for male? Y-chromosome
20. 4:06 What DNA looks like? Twisted ladder
21. 4:09 What is DNA made of? Chemical compounds
22. 4:10 What is the other term for chemical Bases
compounds?
23. 4:42 When to use the capital of the first letter when When representing a dominant gene
writing our genetics?
24. 4:42 When to use a small version of the first letter When representing for a recessive gene
when writing our genetics?
25. 5:28 What are the two descriptions for traits? Homogenous (pure), Heterogeneous (mixed)
26. 5:39 What is the other term for Pure Homozygous
(Homogenous)?
27. 6:04 When does an individual have a pure dominant When the individual only has genes for the dominant
trait? trait
28. 6:04 When does an individual have a pure recessive When the individual only has genes for the recessive trait
trait?
29. 6:18 What is the other term for Mixed Heterozygous
 (Heterogeneous)?
30. 6:53 What is the way to show the possible Punnett square
combinations of genes that offspring of parents
have?
31. 7:46 What is the way that we look or appear? Phenotype
32. 8:04 What do we call the genetic make up for a Genotype
trait?
33. 10:28 How can we use genetics? To predict looks of offspring
To predict risk of disease/defects
34. 10:34 What is the process of reproduction and Cell division
growth of any organism?
35. 10:47 What are the two types of cell division? Mitosis, Meiosis
36. 10:56 What type of cell division produces two Mitosis
identical cells with the same number of
chromosomes?
37. 11:04 What type of cell division that reduces Meiosis
chromosome number by half?
38. 11:21 What are the 4 phases of mitosis? Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
39. 13:00 What are the 4 phases of meiosis? Prophase 1, Metaphase 1, Anaphase 1, Telophase 1
40. 14:05 What is the importance of Mitosis? Increases the number of cells during growth;
Replace dead or damage cells; and
Repairs injured cells
41. 14:22 What is the importance of Meiosis? The daughter has the same number of chromosomes as
parent cell after fertilization has taken place;
Genetic variation between the offspring increases
because of crossing-over between chromatids;
The offspring produced will have different characteristics
because of variation.
