The longest phase of the cell cycle
(What is) Interphase

Organelle that packages protein
(What is) the golgi body

The specific order of nucleotides.
(What is) DNA sequence?
[acceptable: DNA code]
Note: sugar and phosphate do not change and are NOT part of the DNA code/sequence
The offspring from asexually reproducing organisms are.
(What is) identical to the parent
The cell division process of growth and replacement of old/damaged cells
(What is) mitosis?
In the process of meiosis, one diploid (2n) body cell gives rise to
(What are) 4 haploid (n) gametes
The stage of Meiosis shown below

(What is) metaphase II
The clues:
Metaphase = middle of the cell
II = two cells & sister chromatids (not paired homologous chromsomes) are separating
The first stage of human prenatal development (first 8 weeks)
(What is) the embryo stage

The number of chromosomes in human
A) Body cells
B) Gametes
What are
A) 46 (body cells are diploid, 2n- one from each parent)
B) 23 (gametes are haploid, 1n- half the number of chromosomes)
Cells that lack a true nucleus
What is a prokaryotic cell

(What is)
-A=T (A binds with T)
-G=C (G binds with C)
The method in which bacteria are able to reproduce.
(What is) binary fission

The final stage of the cell cycle.
(What is) cytokinesis?
In sexual reproduction, the product of the fusion of gametes
(What is) a zygote

The phase where homologous chromosomes pair up and "cross over" to exchange DNA
(What is) prophase I
The second stage in embryonic development
What is the fetal stage

The name of paired chromosomes.
(What are) homologous chromosomes

The organelle known as the "powerhouse of the cell"
What is the mitochondria

The central structure that holds sister chromatids together
(What is) a centromere

The method of asexual reproduction used by flatworms and starfish to grow a new organism from parts of the organism
(What is) fragmentation

Fruit fly body cells have 8 chromosomes.
The number of chromosomes in a daughter cell after mitosis
(What is) 8?
Mitosis starts with one diploid cell (2 copies of chromosomes) and ends with 2 diploid cells (2 copies of chromosomes)
The advantage sexually reproducing organisms have over asexually reproducing organisms.
(What is) diversity and therefore the ability to adapt
What phase of meiosis does this cell represent?

(What is) Metaphase I?
Clues: Metaphase = middle, 1 cell, homologous chromosomes are paired in the middle of the cell
The name of the cell when the sperm and egg cells fuse
What is the zygote
The environment required for an organism to reproduce.
(What is) ideal nutrients and temperature for survival.
The "brain" of the cell that controls all cell activities
What is the nucleus

Name for duplicated chromosomes
(What are) Sister chromatids?

The parts of a plant that can be used during vegetative propagation to grow into a new plant.
(What are) -stems, roots, leaves

The reason cells must duplicate their DNA before division.
(What is) so the daughter cells have the correct number of chromosomes after division
Disadvantages for organisms to reproduce sexually
(What are)
-Time/competition to find a mate
-Energy to raise offspring
The event(s) that occur during telophase II of meiosis?
(What is)
- The formation of 4 nuclei (almost 4 haploid cells)

The stage of embryo development immediately prior to implantation on the uterus wall
What is a blastocyst

The reason students should study/review
(What is) it helps them retain information!

The smallest unit of life
What is a cell

The 3 groups within a nucleotide of DNA
What are
1. Phosphate group
2. Deoxyribose sugar group
3. Nitrogenous base (the thing that changes and is "read" as DNA code or DNA sequence)
The asexual reproduction process used by yeast cells
What is budding?

The 3 stages of the Cell Cycle

What is:
1) Interphase (Growth, Development, DNA duplication)
2) Mitosis (Cell division)
3) Cytokinesis (Cell cutting)
Reasons siblings are different from each other
(What is) meiosis drives diversity:
-variation when chromosomes combine (crossing over)
-Variation in how chromosomes sort/separate
-Variation of merging gametes
The output of Meiosis
(What is)
the creation of gametes
Or: 4 haploid cells (haploid= half the number of chromosomes found in body cells)
The order of Human Embryonic development.
What is:
1. Egg + Sperm
2. Zygote
3. Embryo (8 weeks)
4. Fetus (30 weeks)
