Cell Cycle and Genetics review Sheet
NOTE: This is not all inclusive. You should study ALL your notes!
Chapter 10
 List the stages of mitosis and meiosis in order, and identify what happens in each stage
 Identify cell parts that are needed for mitosis/meiosis (spindles, centrioles, etc.) and their function
 Understand the structure of a duplicated chromosome – sister chromatids, centromere
 What is crossing over and where does it happen? What is a tetrad?
 Compare and contrast mitosis and meiosis
 Identify the difference between a haploid and diploid cell
 Explain the difference between a somatic cell and a gamete
 What is a stem cell? Why are they important?
 What is cancer?
 What is the law of independent assortment?
Chapter 11
 Understand and apply the vocabulary terms: gene, dominant, recessive, phenotype, genotype, homozygous,
heterozygous, etc.
 Create and/or analyze monohybrid and dihybrid Punnett Square crosses
 Explain codominance and incomplete dominance, and identify examples of each
 Understand and explain pleitropy, polygenic traits and/or epistasis
 List possible gene combinations from 2 traits (example: EERr)
 Understand and apply how blood typing works (dominant and recessive)
 Explain sex-linked diseases
 Analyze genetic word problems
