| What cell division thingo splits twice and creates four cells at a time? | Meiosis! |
| Which bases pair together? | C-G and A-T |
| Which cell division does not create genetic diversity? Why not? | Mitosis does not create genetic diversity, because it doesn't implement crossing over like meiosis. it wants exact copies for repair |
| What was Mendel all about? | HIS PEAS!!! He bred his peas together to get all different shapes, colours, sizes, etc. |

| how many chromosomes in every cell? | 46 chromosomes, 23 pairs |
| What is nucleotide? | nucleotide is made up of one base and a string of sugar phosphate backbone. Nucleotides join together (base+base) to make DNA. |

| what is an allele? | an allele is an alternative form of a gene. there are two for each gene |
