Question | Answer |
---|---|
the passing of traits from parent to offspring | heredity |
different forms of the same gene | alleles |
organisms with two identical alleles (ss) | homozygus |
how many chromosomes are in a human sex cell | 23 |
how many chromosomes are in a human | 46 |
what is found inside the nucleus that controls all the cells activities | DNA |
the organisms apppearance | phenotype |
the combination of alleles | genotype |
the set of instructions for each characteristic that are donated by the parent to the offspring called? | genes |
when cells are not dividing what stage of the cell cycle are they in? | interphase |
in a dna molecule which bases pair together? | citosine and guanine/ thymine and adanine |

If a plant has 20 chromosomes in its egg cell then how many chromosomes would be in its leaf cell? | 40 |
what are the steps of mitosis? | Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, or just PMAT |
how are sex cells different from other human cells? | they have half the ammount |
what is the order of the cell cycle? | interphase prophase metaphase anaphase telophase cytokinesis or just ipmatc |
how is asexual reproduction important to humans | it is how most of their body cells reproduce |
what happens during metaphase | the chromosomes line up in the center |
what happens during anaphase | the cells divide to different sides |
what is Tt | heterozygous or hybrid |
what is TT | homozygous or purebred |
why do cells need to produce new cells | so they can replace dying ones |
what is a heterozygous organism | one dominant allele (T) and one recessive allele (t) ex:Tt or Rr or Pp or etc. |
