QuestionAnswer
1.Mitotic division is the normal process that body cells use to grow new tissue or repair existing tissue.
2.form two daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell During mitosis, cells divide to form two daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell and to each other.
3.number of chromosomes remains the same So, in this type of cell division, the number of chromosomes remains the same as in the parent cell.
4.Mitosis produces two daughter cells that are identical to each other and to the parent cells.
5.Meiotic division Meiotic division, which only occurs in Eucharistic cells, is the process through which gametes or spores are produced.
7.produces haploid daughter cells with half of the species' usual number of chromosomes. In meiotic division, a form of cell division occurs that produces haploid daughter cells with half of the species' usual number of chromosomes.
8.gametes These resulting daughter cells are called gametes, and they aid organisms in their sexual reproduction
9.crossing over During meiosis, crossing over—a process unique to meiosis—can occur
10.exchange parts of their DNA. Crossing over occurs during pro phase I when two chromosomes pair up and exchange parts of their DNA
11.Crossing over provides genetic diversity between the Crossing over provides genetic diversity between the parents and their offspring.
12.Genetic variation Genetic variation can also occur when alleles are randomly sorted during meiosis.
13.Since each offspring receives a different combination of alleles from the Since each offspring receives a different combination of alleles from the parent organisms, phenotype diversity results.
14.Mutations Mutations in genes can occur whenever a segment of DNA is inserted, deleted, or substituted.
15.segment of DNA is inserted, Mutations in genes can occur whenever a segment of DNA is inserted, deleted, or substituted
16.Mutations sometimes create changes in an Mutations sometimes create changes in an organism's phenotype or the phenotype of its potential offspring, but they also can have no effect on an organism at all.
17.silent mutations. Mutations that have no effect on an organism are called silent mutations
18.Mutations will only be passed on Mutations will only be passed on to an organism's offspring in the mutation occurs in the sex cells, or gametes, of the organism.
19.Mutations in somatic cells do not Mutations in somatic cells do not affect the genotype of potential offspring
20.Mutations increase genetic variability because Mutations increase genetic variability because they change the genotype of an organism.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
