200
You are crossing two heterozygous black guinea pigs. What are the chances of getting white guinea pig offspring?
What is 25%?
200
Cell structure that allows materials to enter and leave the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
200
The cellular process that breaks down food to release the energy.
What is cellular respiration?
200
A group of similar cells that work together for a specific function.
What is a tissue?
300
The allele combination
What is a genotype?
300
Fill in the missing genotype

300
Two cell structures that are found in plant cells but not in animal cells.
What are the chloroplast and the cell wall?
300
The process of oxygen moving from the blood into a body cell (from high to low areas of concentration).
What is diffusion?
300
The two organ systems that work together to provide your body with energy.

400
The cell structure that contains the DNA.
What is the nucleus?

As you grow, your body cells make more body cells (identical "daughter cells") using this type of cellular reproduction.
What is mitosis?
400
The two body systems that work together to maintain your body temperature when it is cold outside.

500
The TWO cell organelles that must work together to get glucose into your cells and for you to get energy.
What are the mitochondria and the cell membrane?
500
The two body systems that work together to fight infections and viruses.
