Random
100

During this stage of mitosis, chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.

Metaphase

100

Salt (NaCl) is an example of this type of substance because it is made of two elements chemically bonded together.

compound

100

When a red flower and a white flower produce pink offspring, this type of inheritance is occurring.

Incomplete dominance

100

This type of cell division produces gametes with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Meiosis

200

This is why meiosis is important for sexual reproduction and genetic diversity.

It creates genetically different cells

200

This property describes a substance’s ability to react with another substance to form something new.

Chemical property

200

Two parents are heterozygous for an incompletely dominant trait. This percentage of their offspring is expected to show the blended phenotype.

50%

200

This term describes two alleles that are different for the same trait.

Heterozygous

300

This type of cell division helps your body grow and heal cuts.

Mitosis

300

Milk is considered this type of mixture because its particles are evenly distributed but not chemically bonded.

Homogeneous mixture

300

If a red flower (RR) and a white flower (WW) show incomplete dominance, what phenotype would all offspring have?

Pink

300

This phase of mitosis is when the chromosomes condense and become visible under a microscope.

Prophase

400

In mitosis, this structure pulls chromosomes apart to opposite sides of the cell.

Spindle fibers

400

When a glow stick is snapped and begins to glow, this type of change has occurred because energy is released and new substances form.

Chemical change

400

A mother has blood type AB and the father has blood type O. What are the possible blood types of their children?

Types A and B

400

During meiosis, homologous chromosomes separate in this stage.

Anaphase I

500

This event during meiosis helps create genetic diversity by exchanging DNA between homologous chromosomes.

Crossing over

500

Two samples look identical. Sample A is made of only one type of atom. Sample B is made of two different atoms chemically bonded in a fixed ratio. Neither sample can be separated by physical means. Based on this information, how should each sample be classified?

Sample A is an element

Sample B is a compound

500

A cow with black-and-white spotted fur (BW) is crossed with another cow that is also black-and-white spotted (BW). In codominance, what fraction of their calves are expected to show both black and white spots?

50%

500

Mixing sand and sugar produces a mixture in which the components can be separated physically. This type of mixture is called what?

Heterogeneous mixture
