This controls the material that goes in and out of a cell.
What is a cell membrane.
100
this is the control center of the cell.
What is nucleus.
100
Which drawing represents mitosis?
What is # 1.
100
Why aren't brothers exactly alike?
What is because each inherits genes from their parent. The combination of genes is different except in the case of identical twins.
100
All living things are made of cells. All life activities take place in cells. New cells come from existing cells. These are the 3 main parts of what?
What is Cell Theory.
200
Name the two parts of a cell that plants have but animals do not.
What are cell wall and chloroplast.
200
This surrounds the nucleus and holds it together.
What is nuclear membrane.
200
Which drawing represents meiosis?
What is #4.
200
Where are genes located?
What is in the chromosomes.
200
Type of trait that is covered.
What is recessive.
300
This is a space that stores food, water and waste in a cell.
What is a vacuole.
300
These copy themselves during cell division.
What are chromosomes.
300
This is the process of forming reproductive cells.
What is meiosis.
300
The checkerboard-type square used to show gene combinations.
What is Punnett Square.
300
Suppose 2 tall pea plants are crossed, all the offspring are tall. Could any of the offspring have a gene for shortness? Explain.
What is Yes. They may be carrying a shortness gene as a recessive gene in their pair.
400
Bean shaped organelles that release stored energy
What are mitochondria.
400
Chemical responsible for life activities.
What is DNA.
400
Cell division that produces body cells.
What is mitosis.
400
Type of trait that gives an organism its appearance.
What is dominant.
400
Which cells would you expect to have more mitochondria, muscle or bone cells? Why?
What is muscle cells because they require a lot of energy to contract and move.
500
Colorless, jelly-like substance inside cells.
What is cytoplasm.
500
Part of DNA that controls traits of offspring.
What are genes.
500
Which type of cell division divides twice?
What is meiosis.
500
Who was the first person to show how traits were passed from parent to offspring?
Who is Mendel.
500
In which cells would you expect mitosis to occur more often? The cells of an adult's skin or teeth? Why?
What is skin cells, as they die and are replaced almost constantly.
