Cells and Systems of Cells
Powerhouse of the Cell
What is Mitochondria?
Was an English naturalist, geologist and biologist, best known for his contributions to the science of evolution
What is Charles Darwin?
Four phases of Mitosis: PMAT
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
The production of new living organisms by combining genetic information from two individuals of different types
What is sexual reproduction?
What is Miss V?
Relating to or resulting from living things
The process whereby organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring
What is Natural Selection?
What is cytokinesis?
Having two identical alleles of a particular gene or genes
What is Homozygous?
Played basketball in high school and college
What is Miss V?
An organism consisting of a cell or cells in which the genetic material is DNA in the form of chromosomes contained within a distinct nucleus
What is a eukaryote?
The process by which humans use animal breeding and plant breeding to selectively develop particular phenotypic traits by choosing which typically animal or plant males and females will reproduce and have offspring together.
What is Artificial Selection? What is Selective Breeding?
What is interphase?
An alteration in the nucleotide sequence of the genome of an organism, virus, or extrachromosomal DNA
What is a mutation?
Speaks four languages
What is Miss P?
A single-celled organism that has neither a distinct nucleus with a membrane
What is a prokaryote?
Similar structures that evolved from a common ancestor
What is Homologous structures?
A type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, typical of ordinary tissue growth.
What is Mitosis?
A lack of dominance in either of two different alleles in heterozygotes, so that the phenotype is intermediate between that of homozygotes for either of the two alleles
What is incomplete dominance?
Was thrown out a 3rd story window during an earthquake
What is Miss P?
A dense organelle present in most eukaryotic cells, typically a single rounded structure bounded by a double membrane, containing the genetic material
A phrase that originated from Darwinian evolutionary theory as a way of describing the mechanism of natural selection
"Survival of the Fittest"
A type of cell division that results in four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell, as in the production of gametes and plant spores.
What is Meiosis?
The failure of one or more pairs of homologous chromosomes or sister chromatids to separate normally during nuclear division, usually resulting in an abnormal distribution of chromosomes in the daughter nuclei
What is nondisjunction?
Has a younger brother
What is Miss V and Miss P?
