Sexual
100
Creating more offspring, or individuals, defines this
What is reproduction
100
The sides of DNA are made up of this.
What is sugar and phosphate
100
A change in a cells genetic information
What is mutation
100
The final stage in the cell cycle, where it forms two daughter cells (after telophase)
What is cytokinesis
100
This type of cell contains a full set of genetic content (2n)
What is a diploid
200
The passing on of traits to offspring
What is heredity
200
The "rungs" of the DNA are made up of these
What is nitrogen bases (adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine)
200
A substance or factor that can change genetic information
What is mutagen
200
When a piece of an injured organism develops into a clone of its parent
What is fragmentation
200
This cell contains only half of the genetic content, n.
What is haploid
300
This organelle contains the genetic information
What is nucleus
300
DNA, when ready to divide, will coil up in this x-shaped structure
What is chromosome
300
This type of mutation will benefit an organism
What is positive
300
occurs when part of a cell pushes outward to form an outgrowth.
What is budding
300
This process is the division of cells to form gametes
What is meiosis
400

A segment of genetic information stored on chromosomes

What is a gene

400
The human body cell, contains this number of chromosomes
What is 46
400
This type of mutation will harm the organism
What is negative
400
This type of reproduction uses special cells, usually in plant stems and roots.
What is vegetative reproduction
400
the resulting daughter cells in meiosis will produce this type of cell
What is haploid
500
Specific characteristics passed on from parent to offspring
What is trait
500
This type of division occurs in plant and animal cells (somatic/body cells), duplicating genetic material between two daughter cells.
What is mitosis
500
This mutation does not harm the individual
What is neutral
500
This asexual reproduction replicates its genetic material and divide into two equal parts
What is Binary Fission
500
The correct order of phases in meiosis I
What is prophase I, metaphase I, anaphase I, telophase I
