True or False:
CAM plants open their stomata during the night to conserve water.
True
This scientist discovered and named “cells” after observing cork under a microscope.
Robert Hooke
Meiosis results in this number of daughter cells.
Four cells
This early theory proposed that particles from all parts of the body collected in reproductive cells and passed on traits.
pangenesis
This type of inheritance Involves genes found outside the nucleus in organelles like mitochondria or chloroplasts
what is Extranuclear Inheritance
These three types of organisms can perform photosynthesis
plants, algae, and some bacteria
These cells have linear chromosomes stored inside a nucleus.
prokaryotic cells
A cell that contains only one set of chromosomes is called this.
haploid
These cells have linear chromosomes stored inside a nucleus.
eukaryotic cells
These are genes that are located near each other on the same chromosome , and tend to be inherited together
what is linked genes
This organelle contains thylakoids and chlorophyll and is the site of photosynthesis in plants.
chloroplast
This process is how prokaryotic cells divide.
binary fission
Females with this disorder have only one X chromosome (XO).
Turner Syndrome
The point where sister chromatids are joined.
centromere
This scientist, famous for his fruit fly experiments, was the first to locate a specific gene on a chromosome in 1910, confirming that genes are carried on chromosomes.
Who is Thomas Hunt Morgan
The ending materials of the Calvin Cycle.
C₆H₁₂O₆)
This is the stage where sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles.
Anaphase
This process produces four unique haploid cells.
meiosis
The identical copies of a duplicated chromosome are called this.
sister chromatids
This process of cell division explains Mendel’s Law of Segregation and Law of Independent Assortment by separating homologous chromosomes and allowing them to assort randomly.
What is meiosis?
This is the location in a photosystem where excited electrons are transferred to start photosynthesis
reaction center
These cancers begin in the body’s covering tissues, like skin or lining of organs.
carcinomas
The nuclear membrane reforms and the cell divides into two haploid cells.
telophase I and cytokinesis
These cancers originate in bone marrow or blood-forming tissues.
leukemias and lymphomas
In 1902, these two scientists proposed the Chromosome Theory of Inheritance, showing that genes are carried on chromosomes.
Who are Sutton and Boveri?
