An organism starts out with this many cells.
What is one
100
This is the process by which most cells divide
What is mitosis
100
This is the process by which gametes divide
What is meiosis
100
characteristics passed from parents to offspring are called this
What are inherited traits
100
This type of reproduction occurs when a cell divides without the joining of cells from two parents
What is asexual reproduction?
200
These are all obvious changes that tell us that cell division is happening.
What is getting taller, growing, the healing of wounds
200
This is the phase of mitosis when the membrane around the nucleus disappears and the chromosomes double
What is prophrase
200
These are threadlike structures made up of DNA
What are chromosomes
200
He was an Austrian monk who studied traits in plants
Who is Gregor Mendel?
200
This type of reproduction takes place when gametes from two parents come together to form a new organism
What is sexual reproduction
300
The phases through which living things go as they grow and develop
What is the life cycle?
300
This is the phase of mitosis when chromosome pairs move apart
What is Anaphase
300
This happens to the cells during meiosis
What is they divide in half
300
Mendel called observable traits this, we call them this.
What are factors and genes
300
This type of cell will only have half the number of chromosomes as the rest of the body's cells
What are gametes
400
This is the change which some organisms, like caterpillars to butterflies undergo.
What is metamorphosis
400
This is the phase of mitosis when the cell splits and a new, identical cell, is created
What is telophase?
400
Some animals can grow whole new limbs and human beings can heal cuts and wounds thanks to this process.
What is regeneration
400
This is the part of a chromosome that contains DNA
What is a gene
400
The body cells of an organism that has 32 cells will have 32 cells after going through this type of cell reproduction.
What is mitosis.
500
These organisms look pretty much the same as adults as they did when they were younger
What are mammals, birds, reptiles, and fish
500
Phase of mitosis when spindles form across the cell
What is metaphase
500
chromosomes duplicate during mitosis for this purpose
What is to create an identical cell that is the same as the original
500
This is a weak trait that must be received from both parents in order to manifest in an individual
What is a recessive trait
500
This is a strong trait that is either inherited from both parents or from one parent along with a weaker trait from the other
What is a dominant trait?
