What is King Phillip Came Over For Grape Soda?
The process of chromosomes exchanging genes, which only occurs during metaphase 1 of meiosis.
What is crossing over?
This is why organisms grow.
What is the number of cells in the organisms body increases?
This type of cell, made during meiosis, can pass a mutation from mother to offspring.
What is an egg cell?
A cell with DNA, but no nucleus or membrane-bound organelles.
What is a prokaryotic cell?
The two taxonomic classifications that give an organism its scientific name.
What is genus and species?
The phase in which chromosomes are copied to prepare for cell division.
What is interphase?
A carrot cell contains 18 chromosomes. A carrot cell will have this number of chromosomes after mitosis.
What is 18?
The process of producing cells with half the number of chromosomes in the nuclei of the daughter cells.

Cells spend most of their life in this phase of the cell cycle.
What is interphase?
The organization of many organ systems that are working together.
What is an organism?
The phase in which DNA condenses to form chromosomes.
What is prophase?
The number of daughter cells produced during mitosis.
The process of meiosis produces this number of daughter cells.
What is four daughter cells?
The process at the end of the cell cycle when the cytoplasm fully divides, and the resulting daughter cells are completely separate.
What is cytokinesis?
The organization of many specialized cells.
