| the double helix of DNA is composed of building blocks called | nucleotides |
| What molecule holds instructions for the synthesis of proteins and copies itself before cell divison | DNA |
| Which is a common cause of cervical cancer | human papillomavirus |
| which of the following is correct about both binary fission and meiosis | both replicate the DNA before the cell splits |
| Eukaryotic chromosomes become visible with a light microscope before cell division because they | become more tightly wound |
| the first sign of cytokinesis in an animal cell is the formation of a | cleavage furrow |

| the correct sequence for the phases of the eukaryotic cell cycle is | interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, cytokinesis |
| The chromosomal designation for a human male is | XY |
| 2n is an abbreviation for | diploid |
| If you were looking at a diagram of the male human body and were asked to locate the germ cells, you would point to the | testes |
| if you were told that you would get extra credit for finding a model showing chromosomes separating while sister chromatids were still attached, you would look for a model of | anaphase 1 |
| the process by which homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material | is crossing over |
| The process that merges the gametes from two parents is | fertilization |
