100

What is the first step of mitosis, and what happens during it?

The first step of mitosis is interphase. During interphase, all the genetic and cytoplasmic material is replicated. 

100

Is meiosis asexual or sexual reproduction?

Meiosis is sexual reproduction.

100

What is Ms. Jenkins favorite color? (trick question (S))

What is Ms. Jenkins' favorite colors are blue and purple.

100

_______ _________ is the process by which to survive and reproduce.

Natural Selection is the process where varied traits in an organism offspring help it to survive and reproduce.

200

What is the second step of mitosis, and what happens during it?

The second step is prophase. During prophase, the centrioles move to the poles of the cell and spindle fibers are created. The chromatins thicken into chromosomes, and the cell membrane dissolves. 

200

How many eggs/sperm (haploids) are created by the end of meiosis?

Four gametes (eggs/sperm) are created by the end of meiosis.

200

How does Ms. Jenkins say crayon- Crayon or Crayn?

Ms. Jenkins says Crayon which is how its pronounced not Crayn.

200

Likewise, the _______, or blocking of certain genes in a population, is due to those characteristics being less beneficial.

Suppression is the act of hiding or covering up an allele due to it being less beneficial for survival and reproduction than other alleles.

300

What is the third step of mitosis, and what happens during it?

The third step is metaphase. During metaphase the chromosomes line up along the middle of the cell. 

300

How many times does the step Interphase get repeated in meiosis?

The step Interphase only happens once in meiosis.

300

Ms. Jenkins' favorite type of chicken is _____ _____.

Ms. Jenkins' favorite type of chicken is Baby Chickens.

300

An ______ is an inherited ________ or ________  _________ that helps an organism to survive and reproduce.

An adaptation is an inherited behavior or physical characteristic that helps an organism to survive and reproduce.

400

What is the fourth step of mitosis, and what happens during it?

The fourth step is anaphase. During anaphase, sister chromosomes separate and are pulled to opposite poles. 

400

How many times do the steps Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, and Cytokinesis occur with meiosis? 

Each step is done two times.

400

What does Ms. Jenkins like more tacos or burritos.

Ms. Jenkins prefers tacos more than burritos because she says "burritos fall apart to easily".

400
A  _______type is how a trait is physically expressed.

A phenotype is how a trait is physically expressed.

500

What is the fifth and sixth steps of mitosis, and what happen during them?

The finale two steps are telophase and cytokinesis. During telophase, the spindle fibers disintegrate and a pinch in the cell forms. Chromosomes turn back into chromatins and nuclear membrane forms around them. After during cytokinesis, two separate cells are formed.

500

What is the goal of meiosis, and what benefits does it offer compared to asexual reproduction?

The goal is to create genetic variety in offspring, which gives the offspring a better chance of survival by allowing for adaptation and reducing harmful mutations while asexual reproduction just clones the parent organism.

500
Does Ms. Jenkins like pancake or waffles more?

Ms. Jenkins like waffles more than pancakes.

500

A ______type is the alleles that affect the ow the trait is expressed.

A Genotype is the alleles that affect the ow the trait is expressed.
