Genetic/Inheritance
Is the passing on of traits, or characteristics, from parent to offspring.
Heredity
What are the four phases of mitosis?
Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
What is a haploid cell?
Contains a single set of chromosomes.
Is a set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products.
Cell Respiration.
The process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a byproduct.
Photosynthesis.
Units of heredity are called.
Genes
What purpose do cells use mitosis for?
Growth and to replace worn out cells.
What is a diploid cell?
Contains two complete sets of chromosomes.
A threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes.
Chromosomes.
What is the purpose of photosynthesis?
To convert solar energy into chemical energy and then store that chemical energy for future use. For the most part, the planet's living systems are powered by this process.
The genetic makeup of an individual is known as its.
Genotype
What is mitosis?
A type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, typical of ordinary tissue growth.
What is the difference between a haploid cell and a diploid cell?
Diploid cells have two complete sets of chromosomes, while haploid cells only have one complete set of chromosomes.
How many chromosomes does a human have?
In humans, each cell normally contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46.
What is the process of photosynthesis?
Is the process by which plants, some bacteria and some protistans use the energy from sunlight to produce glucose from carbon dioxide and water. This glucose can be converted into pyruvate which releases adenosine triphosphate (ATP) by cellular respiration. Oxygen is also formed.
The observable physical characteristics of an individual that are the result of its genotype are known as its.
Phenotype
What is meiosis?
A type of cell division that results in four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell, as in the production of gametes and plant spores.
When are haploid gametes produced?
During meiosis.
What is the purpose of cellular respiration?
It provides cells with the energy they need to function.
Are eukaryotic cells present in green plants, photosynthetic eukaryotes of the kingdom Plantae.
Plant Cell
What are dominant and recessive traits written has?
D= CAPITOL LETTERS
r= lower case letters
Which cells of the body use meiosis to reproduce?
only occurs in eukaryotic organisms that reproduce sexually.
Diploid cells reproduces through
Mitosis.
What is the purpose of chromosomes?
The structure of chromosomes helps ensure the DNA remains tightly wrapped around the proteins;otherwise, DNA molecules would be too large for the inside of the cells. Organisms grow by undergoing cell division to produce new cells and replace older, wornout cells.
Is the protective, semi-permeable outer layer of a plant cell.
