The phase of the cell cycle where DNA replication occurs
S-phase
The movement of molecules across the cell membrane WITHOUT the need of energy input
Passive transport
____________ is the final step of mitosis where one cell fully divides into two cells
Cytokinesis
Does crossing over happen during Mitosis or Meiosis?
Meiosis - to create more genetic diversity in the sperm and eggs

The first phase of mitosis is called?
Prophase
During which phase of mitosis do the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell?
Metaphase
A macromolecule that serves as a fast source of energy
Carbohydrates
Any inherited trait that increases an organism's chance of survival is known as this.
An adaptation
Body parts that have little or no purpose for the current organism, but were important for its ancestors (like tailbones and goosebumps)
Vestigial structures
This process produces four genetically unique cells, each with half the number of chromosomes as in the parent
Meiosis
Which organelle's function is to break down dead or damaged cell parts?
Lysosome
What is it called when the chromosomes don't separate properly during cell division?
Non-disjunction
The three organelles contained in a plant cell but not an animal cell
Cell wall, large central vacuole, chloroplast
Made of mostly phospholipid molecules, this flexible boundary regulates what goes in or out of the cell
Plasma membrane
The formula for photosyntheis
CO2 + H2O + sunlight —> C6H12O6 + O2

Incomplete dominance
