
The difference between ratio, probability, and percent (for Punnett Squares)
How to set up and solve Punnett Squares such as we did in class
The descriptions of the diseases/disorders we discussed in class and their patterns of
inheritance:
Huntington Disease, Cystic Fibrosis, Tay-Sachs Disease, Sickle Cell Anemia, Colorblindness,
Hemophilia, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
 The law of segregation and the law of independent assortment
 The stages of the cell cycle in the correct order and what happens in each
 That the new cells produced as a result of a mitotic division are identical to the parental
cells
 That the new cells produced as a result of a meiotic division are not identical to each
other or the parent cells
 How to identify cells in each of the stages of mitosis (the pictures in the book and online
are very good)
 Places where cell division occurs often (see p. 249)
 Differences between plant and animal mitosis
 the type of cells produced by meiosis
 The phases of meiosis in the correct order and what happens in each
 The major differences between meiosis and mitosis
 What nondisjunction is.
 The characteristics of a Down Syndrome Child, Turner Syndrome Child, and a
Klinefelter’s Child and their karyotypes
 What an antigen is in relation to bloodtyping
 The phenotypes and genotypes of the blood groups
 What blood groups can donate to the others
 What RhoGAM is and when it is administered
