1.      (5 Pt) List and
explain the major phases and events of the cell cycle.

2.      
(5 Pt) What is the purpose of mitosis? What kind of cells exhibit
mitosis? List the major phases and corresponding important event(s)
that occur in a cell during mitosis.

3.       (5 Pt) What is the
purpose of meiosis? What kind of cells exhibit meiosis? List the
major phases and corresponding important event(s) that occur in a
cell during meiosis.

4.       (5 Pt) Define the

5.      (5 Pt) In garden
peas, Mendel found that yellow is dominant over green, and round
shape is dominant over wrinkled. What are the different gametes
possible in a cross between a homozygous (YYRR) plant and a
homozygous (yyrr) plant? What is the genotype and phenotype of F1
offspring? What are the possible F2 genotypes and phenotypes? Show
the F2 results in a Punnett square.

6.      (2.5 Pt) Show the
results of a cross between a colorblind male and a heterozygous
female (carrier) using a Punnett square. How many of their children
are colorblind or carriers?

7.      (2.5 Pt) Show the
results of a cross between a normal male for color vision and a
heterozygous female (carrier) using a Punnett square. How many of
their children are colorblind or carriers?
