The Cell Cycle
Cell Division
Meiosis
Sexual Reproduction
100
The process by which organisms inherit advantageous traits that let them reproduce more successfully than the other organisms do.
What is natural selection
100
The longest stage
What is interphase
100
Female reproductive cell in animals.
What is an egg
100
When chromosomes condense
What is prophase
100
Cell division that results in 4 daughter cells that each are haploid (1n) having half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell
What is Meiosis?
200
When all the members of a species have died.
What is extinction?
200
The stage that includes PMAT
What is mitosis
200
Male reproductive cell in animals. It is haploid and has a tail.
What is a sperm
200
When chromosomes separate and pull to opposite sides of the cell.
What is Anaphase?
200
A pair of chromosomes of the same size, shape and have the same gene; one from each parent.
What are homologous pairs?
300
Traces or remains of an organism that lived long ago, most commonly preserved in sedimentary rock.
What are fossils?
300
The stage that comes after mitosis
What is cytokinesis
300
A haploid male or female reproductive cell
What are gametes
300
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase
What does PMAT stand for in order?
300
46 pairs of chromsomes
What is the amount of pairs present in human cells?
400
natural differences within a species
What are variations?
400
Life cycle of an eukaryotic cell divided into three stages: Interphase, Mitosis and Cytokinesis
What is the cell cycle
400
A cell containing a single set of chromosomes
What is a haploid?
400
When chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.
What is Metaphase
400
a section of the DNA (chromosome) that codes for a specific trait (e.g. eye color or hair color)
What are genes?
500
an inherited trait that helps an organism survive and reproduce in its environment
What is adaptation?
500
The part of the cell cycle during which the cell is not dividing.
What is interphase
500
A cell containing two full sets of chromosomes (2n - one from father and one from mother). In humans, the diploid number is 46.
What is a diploid?
500
Nuclei forms and a new nuclear membrane forms around each group of chromosomes.
What is Telophase?
500
The result of a sperm fertilizing an egg
What is a zygote?
