What is the blending theory of inheritance?
200
A plan for asking questions and testing possible answers.
What is a scientific investigation?
200
All living things are made up of one or more cells; all the life functions of organisms occur within cells; all cells come from already existing cells.
What does the cell theory state?

What are heterotrophs?
500
Includes mitosis, in which the nucleus divides, and cytokinesis, in which the cytoplasm divides and daughter cells from.
What does cell division in eukaryotic cells include?
500
This is necessary so that each daughter cell will have a complete copy of genetic material from the parent cell.
Why is it necessary for DNA to be replicated before mitosis occurs?
