What is the basic building blocks from which all organisms are made?
Cells
How many Chromosomes are in a normal human cell
46
What contains all of the genetic information about the cell?
DNA
Traits are controlled by the
genes
During which stage does the nucleus divide in two
mitosis
List the differences in plants and animal cells- shape
animal - irregular shape
plant - box shape
What are 2 things that a plant cell has that an animal cell doesn't
cell wall , chloroplasts
What are 5 things that both cells have in common
DNA, Cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, genes, chromosomes, ribosomes
List the three main stages of the cell cycle in order
interphase
mitosis
cytokinesis
Explain how cancer is formed
DNA in cell becomes damaged, causing mutation. It grows and divides too fast. Cancer is formed when it divides uncontrollably.
List all 3 parts of the Cell theory
All living things are composed of cells
All cells come from other cells
Cells are the basic unit of all organisms
What stage does the cell membrane of an animal look as if it is being pinched in the middle
cytokinesis
Which stage uses the most time for cell growth
mitosis
How does the complexity of a cell show that it is a purposeful design?
small- not simple, tiny organelles that each preform a function, cells have membranes that allow things to go in and out, Plant cells have a cell wall, the nucleus has a set of chromosomes with genes, genes are made of DNA, they all work together to show that cells are designed purposefully, by God.
Why is each organism unique?
Inherit traits from their parent organism, Traits are determined by genes, which are made of DNA.
DNA is made of molecules that fit together in different patterns, each pattern is a code that gives the cell instructions for each trait. Since there are no patterns that are the same, all organism is unique.
