What is an example of a plant that is pigmented by carotenoids? 

carrots (or any orange plant)

100

What is the purpose of mitosis? 

produce another identical cell

100

How many cells are produced after meiosis II, and how many chromosomes do each have?

4 haploid cells (23 chromosomes)

100

What kind of cancer is found in the spleen?

lymphoma

What is an example of an allele that is codominant?

blood type

200

Plants emit something that can boost the immune system... what is it?

phytokins

Describe the difference in mitosis in plant and animal cells.

During cytokinesis, plant cells have a cell plate while animal cells have a cleavage furrow. 

200

During which stage of meiosis do homologous chromosomes separate?

anaphase I

200

What kind of cancer is skin cancer that can spread to other organs?

malignant carcinoma

46 chromosomes (23 pairs)

300

In which phase do chromosomes duplicate?

interphase

300

If a cancer patient takes a drug to stop cells from excessively dividing, what kind of treatment are they receiving?

chemotherapy

300

If mom is heterozygous dominant for type A blood, and dad has type AB blood, what possible blood types could their children have?

A, AB, B

400

If a plant is missing thylakoids, what stage of photosynthesis cannot take place? 

light dependent reactions

400

In which stage of mitosis do chromosomes separate into sister chromatids? 

anaphase

400

Describe independent assortment. 

segregation of alleles for one trait does not affect the segregation of alleles for another

400
True or False: Not all tumors can spread. 

true, benign tumors don't spread

Mom = recessive for blue eyes, homozygous dominant for tall

Dad = heterozygous dominant for brown eyes, heterozygous dominant for tall

What is the probability that their child has blue eyes and is tall? 

50%

500

What three reactants go into the Calvin Cycle? 

NADPH, ATP, CO2

500

How many cells are produced in mitosis, and how many chromosomes do each have? 

2 cells, each with 46 chromosomes

500

List the steps of meiosis II and what happens in each step.

prophase II- spindle forms

metaphase II- chromosomes align at metaphase plate

anaphase II- sister chromatids separate

telophase II- cytokinesis

500

What two rules of cell division do cancer cells break?

1. cell division is anchorage dependent

2. cells division has density dependent inhibition

Dad has hemophila, while mom is normal. What is the probability that their daughter is a carrier? What is the probability their son has hemophilia?

daughter carrier- 100%

son hemophilia- 0%
