A type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number of chromosomes as the original parent cell.
What is Mitosis?
100
Deoxyribonucleic acid
What is DNA short for?
100
To be able to adjust to new conditions and changes.
What does it mean to be adaptable?
200
The process by which plants convert light energy into glucose through the chloroplasts.
What is photosynthesis?
200
Artificial insemination and in vitro fertilization
What are some types of artificial reproduction?
200
A type of cell division that produces two daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the original cell, these cells are used in reproduction.
What is Meiosis?
200
Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine.
What are the letters that make up DNA?
200
No, because they are genetically identical to their parents.
Are organisms that reproduce asexually adaptable to change?
300
Larger vacuoles, Cell walls, Chloroplasts.
What do plant cells have that animal cells don't?
300
No genetic diversity, are not able to adapt to changing environmental conditions.
What are some disadvantages of asexual reproduction?
300
The formation of new cells and DNA replication.
What do both mitosis and meiosis result in?
300
A DNA molecule that defines a particular trait.
What is a gene?
300
Organisms that reproduce sexually inherit different characteristics even if they have the same parents, so one might have trait that make it more adaptable to change.
Why might some organisms that reproduce sexually be more adaptable than others?
400
To only allow certain molecules through, the cell membrane and the nuclear membrane.
What does it mean to be selectively permeable and which parts of the cell are selectively permeable?
400
The offspring inherit a combination of traits from two parents, it's easier to adapt to change.
Wrapped around proteins, packaged tightly together to form chromosomes in the Nucleus.
How is DNA stored in the human cell?
400
Yes, because they have genetic diversity and inherit traits from two parents.
Are organisms that reproduce sexually adaptable to change?
500
It is responsible for giving the cell it's shape and is where most of the cell activities occur.
What is the purpose of the cytoplasm?
500
Artificial insemination occurs in the female and in vitro fertilization occurs in a laboratory setting.
What is the difference between artificial insemination and in vitro fertilization?
500
In the nucleus, chromosomes condense and become visible. In the cytoplasm the spindle forms.
What happens in the Prophase of Mitosis?
500
The four letters are in a certain order, becoming something that can be read like words, and each gene is a section of DNA read like sentence by the body.
How does DNA and genes code for certain traits.
500
When an organism inherits traits from both parents and the climate changes, being different to others of the same species some with possess traits that others wont and thus will be able to survive. Organisms that are genetically identical will not be able to survive at all.
