Mitosis
What is a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus?
What is the greenhouse effect?
What is the trapping of the sun's warmth in a planet's lower atmosphere due to the greater transparency of the atmosphere to visible radiation from the sun than to infrared radiation emitted from the planet's surface?
The process whereby organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring.
What is Natural selection?
What organelle aids animals in cellular division?
The centriole.
Meiosis
What is a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell ?
What are greenhouse gases?
What is a gas that contributes to the greenhouse effect by absorbing infrared radiation?
In what Organelle does Photosynthesis occur?
What are the 4 stages of mitosis.
Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
Decomposer
What are organisms that break down dead or decaying organisms ?
Has climate changed in the past 100 years? Yes or no.
Yes.
In what organelle does cellular respiration occur?
What is Mitochondria?
How many haploid cells are created by meiosis?
4
Photosynthesis
What is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy?
What is Global warming?
What is a gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth's atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, and other pollutants?
What Organelle is the Control center of the cell?
What is the Nucleus?
During which part of interphase is genetic material duplicated?
S phase.
Carbon Cycle
What is the series of processes by which carbon compounds are inter converted in the environment, chiefly involving the incorporation of carbon dioxide into living tissue by photosynthesis and its return to the atmosphere through respiration, the decay of dead organisms, and the burning of fossil fuels?
Yes or No.
As the level of carbon dioxide increases on Earth, does the temperature increase also?
What is yes?
What theory states that all life is made of cells, cells are the basic building block, and all cells come from existing cells?
What is Cell theory.
During meiosis, homologous chomosomes form a tetrad and an exchange of genetic material occurs. What is the name for this genetic swap?
Crossing over.
