The cell spends majority of it's life in this stage.
Interphase
100
Half of a number of chromosomes
haploid
100
six parts CO2 + six parts H2O
& (SUNLIGHT) =
C6 H12 O6 & O2
Photosynthesis

Autosomes (your body cells do this about 25,000,000 (that is 25 million) times each second. 1, 2, 3...
Mitosis (My big FAT toe)
100
A pair of X chromosomes (aka: XX genotype)
Female Genotype
200
The cell is getting ready for division. The Nuclear membrane is beginning to dissolve. Chromosomes condense. Spindle fibers form at the poles (centrioles).
Prophase
200
Double the number of chromosomes
Diploid
200
Both the biotic and abiotic factors in the environment make up an...
Ecosystem

This occurs in the gametes (eggs & sperm cells) only.
Meiosis (Me, the cells that make me, me...)

XY Chromosomes represent...
Male Genotype
(My wife thinks that there must be something wrong with this Y chromosome)
300
Spindle apparatus attach to the chromosome pairs that are now lined up in the MIDDLE of the cell.
Metaphase

5 phases, but only one round, resulting in two identical daughter cells.
Mitosis

The "father" of Genetics as science. He discovered multiple alleles as well as dominate and recessive traits...
Gregor Mendel
400
Spindle fibers shorten and pull the chromosomes APART. Chromosomes them move AWAY to opposite sides of the cell.
Anaphase
400
2n
diploid
400
C6 H12 O6 + O2 = CO2 & H2O and ATP (energy)
Cellular respiration
400
Two rounds of 5 phases each, resulting in 4 NON-identical (unique) daughter cells.
Meiosis
400
DNA codes for specific _____________ (hair color, eye color, etc...) found in your genes (not your Levis, man...)
Traits
500
In plant cells a CELL PLATE forms. Animal cells pinch apart (CLEAVAGE FURROW). Cytokinesis, the movement and exchange of cytoplasm begins, as the cell is finally dividing.
Telophase
500
eggs and sperm combine to make a zygote.
1n + 1n = 2n diploid

Photosynthesis occurs in the __________________ of plant cells.
Cellular respiration occurs in the ________________ of all cells.
