Mitosis starts with what kind of cell? in terms of ploidy

Diploid 

100
A cell with two sets of DNA is considered what 

diploid 

100

What stage of the cell cycle will have the development of more organelles and genetic material? (getting ready for DNA replication, but not quite there yet)

G1

100

Meiosis shows in what kind of cells?

Gametes: sperm or egg

100

What is the process of converting nitrogen into ammonia for use? 

Nitrogen fixation 

200

What process uses sexual reproduction 

Meiosis 

200

A cell with 2 dominant or 2 recessive alleles is considered what 

homozygous 

200

What stage of the cell cycle will have the splitting of the parent cell into two daughter cells 

Cytokinesis 

200

You do an amniocentesis on a pregnant patient in the hospital. The geneticist reports XY chromosomes at position 23. You tell the patient they are having a what?

Boy 

200

Glycosis is the only process in cellular respiration that is considered what 

anaerobic 

300

What phase of Mitosis looks like a normal cell? (not much difference than a parent cell)

Prophase 

300

The centromere of a chromosome holds together what? individual arms of the chromosome  

Chromatids 

300

What phase of the cell cycle has a tetraploid cell 

Interphase 

300

A family comes into your office seeking genetic counseling regarding their soon to be born child. They know its a boy so they know they will get most of the dads qualities, but you tell them they'll actually get most of the traits from the mom. Why?

The X chromosome has significantly more genes than the Y chromosomes

300

What kind of passive transport is the movement of solute 

diffusion 

400

Crossing over is an important phenomenon for what process?

Meiosis 

400

Chromosomes that do not determine gender are called what kind of chromosomes 

Autosomal 

400

What phase of the cell cycle will prepare for mitosis or meiosis?

G2

400

What are the odds that a White flower and a heterozygous Red flower will produce a white flower?

Red = Dominant 

50%

400

What are the 3 parts of a nucleotide 

nitrogenous base, sugar (ribose or Deoxyribose), phosphate tail 

500

How many daughter cells are produced in the end product of mitosis and meiosis 

2 for mitosis 

4 for meiosis 

500
If you pulled up an image and could see an organisms chromosomes, you would be looking at a what 

karyotype 

500

What kinds of cells will undergo the cell cycle 

All of them

500

A mother recently had a girl. The mom worries that the girl will have a similar burn mark on her arm. The mom got the mark last week at the family cookout. You tell her that the daughter won't have the burn mark because those skin cells divide by what process?

Mitosis (i.e. not sexual reproduction) (looking back this one was kinda hard)

500
how would you describe the different parts of the cell membrane 

The hydrophilic heads on the outside

The hydrophobic tails on the inside
