Chapter 11 Test Study Topics
Test Date: Thursday, January 20
Section 11-1: The Work of Gregor Mendel
Vocabulary to define/give an example:
Allele
Fertilization
Gamete
Gene
Genetics
Hybrid
Principle of dominance
Segregation
Trait
Other topics:
- The role of fertilization in
determining on organism’s
characteristics
- Mendel’s seven traits
- How alleles are distributed to
offspring
- The P, F1, and F2 generations
- Study Figure 11-3, 11-4, 11-5
Section 11-4: Meiosis
Vocabulary to define/give an example:
Crossing-over
Diploid
Haploid
Homologous
Meiosis
Tetrad
Zygote
Other topics:
- Chromosome numbers – diploid vs
haploid
- Events occurring in each phase of
meiosis (use the Simulating Meiosis
lab to help you)
- Comparing mitosis and meiosis
- The Law of Independent
Assortment – some information
from Section 11-2
- How can two alleles from different
genes be inherited together?
- How is the frequency of crossing
over used to create gene maps?
- Study Figure 11-5, 11-6, 11-7
Section 11-2: Applying Mendel’s Principles
Vocabulary to define/give an example:
Genotype
Heterozygous
Homozygous
Independent assortment
Phenotype
Probability
Punnett square
Other topics:
- How can we use probability to
predict traits
- Genotype and phenotype
- Using Punnett Squares –
monohybrid and dihybrid crosses
- How do alleles segregate when
more than one gene is involved?
(Independent Assortment – we
discussed in Section 11-4)
- Mendel’s contribution to our
understanding of genetics
- Study Figure 11-8 (page 316), 11-9,
11-10
Section 11-3: Other Patterns of Inheritance
Vocabulary to define/give an example:
Codominance
Incomplete dominance
Multiple allele
Polygenic trait
Other topics:
- What are some exceptions to
Mendel’s principles?
- How environment in part
determines traits
