How many chromosomes are present in a human sex cell?   23  
🗑
What is found inside the nucleus that controls cell activites??   DNA  
🗑
What is the set of instructions for each characteristic that are donated by the parent to the offspring called?   Genes

The actual inherited combination of alleles (BB, Bb, bb) are known as the offsprings?   genotype

The organism's appearance is known as its?   phenotype

🗑
When cells are not dividing, what stage of the cell cycle are the cells in?   Interphase  
🗑
What are 2 functions of a chromosomes?   determine traits and control cell process.

What would be the complimentary strand to this DNA sequence: TAGGCTA?   ATCCGAT  
🗑
What is the purpose of meiosis?   To create 4 gametes/sex cells.  
🗑
What is the purpose of mitosis?   To create 2 identical daughter cells.

🗑
If a plant cell has 20 chromosomes in its egg cell, how many chromosomes would its leaf cell contain?   40 chromosomes  
🗑
Why is mitosis important?   You end with 2 identical daughter cells.

🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
