Mad Scientist
"A carefully thought-out explanation for observations of the natural world, using the scientific method, facts, and hypotheses."
What is a theory?
This organelle is in plant cells, but not animal cells.
What is the chloroplast?
The outcome of Mitosis.
What are two diploid daughter cells?
The outcome of Meiosis.
What is 4 haploid daughter cells?
AA
What is homologous dominant?
"I will lose extra fat if I run extra hours. The 2 variables are: 1. Amount of fat lost. 2. Hours of running. Which is the independent variable?"
What is "hours of running?"
This organelle packages proteins in membrane packets for transport. This is also Beth's favorite organelle.
What are the Golgi bodies or Golgi apparatus?
The longest phase of Mitosis.
What is interphase?
These parts of Meiosis are exactly like Mitosis.
What is the second half of Meiosis or Prophase II, Metaphase II, Anaphase II, and Telophase II?
Physical appearance.
What is phenotype?
"Nick wants to see how high an ice cube would float in different temperatures of water. Identify the dependent variable."
What is "height the ice cube floats?"
This organelle is the "powerhouse" of the cell. It also carries some maternal DNA so that maternal line of people can be followed.
What is a mitochondrion?
This is the cytoplasmic division at the end of Mitosis.
What is cytokinesis?
This is where crossing over occurs.
What is Prophase I?
A location on a chromosome or gene that is a variation of a trait.
What is an allele?
"This variable MUST be measurable."
What is the dependent variable?
This organelle extends from the nuclear membrane throughout the cytoplasm and is responsible for the manufacture of proteins and fats.
What is the endoplasmic reticulum?
During this phase, the chromosomes line up across the center of the cell and the spindle fibers attach.
What is metaphase?
During this phase, the chromosomes align along the center of the cell side-by-side.
What is Metaphase I?
The genotypes and percentages for a cross of a heterozygous brown-eyed person with a blue-eyed person.
What are Bb and bb and 50% for both?
"A conclusion reached on the basis of evidence and reasoning."
What is an inference?
In this cell the DNA is not contained inside a nucleus.
What is a bacterial cell?
During this phase, the chromosomes decondense (get stringy and tangled), the spindles break down, and the nuclear and the nucleolus reforms.
What is telophase?
This is another name for crossing over.
What is homologous recombination?
1:2:1
What is the ratio for a cross of two heterozygous people?
