|
A compound microscope is a miscroscope that contains two or more lenses.
|
|
|
Waht are the building blocks of life?
|
Celles are the building blocks of life.
|
|
|
What is an example of Prokaryotic?
|
Bacteria are examples of Prokaryotic.
|
|
|
What is a cell called without a true nucleus?
|
A cell without a true nucleus is called Prokaryotic.
|
|
|
What is cytoplasm?
|
The gel like material in the cell that supports all other organelles is called cytoplasm.
|
|
|
What kind of cells do animals and plants have?
|
Animals and plants have Eukaryotic cells.
|
|
|
What ate the two forms of cell division?
|
Two forms of cell division are mitosis and meiosis.
|
|
|
What is mitosis?
|
Mitosis is the process by which cells didvide for the growth and repair of an organism.
|
|
|
What are the new cells that are formed by mitosis called?
|
New cells that are formed by mitosis are called daughter cells.
|
|
|
How long does mitosis last?
|
Mitosis continues throguthout the life of an organism.
|
|
|
What is meiosis for?
|
Meiosis is only for the reproduction of an organism that reproduces sexually.
|
|
|
What is the first cell of a new organism formed through the joining if the egg and sperm called?
|
The first cell of a new organism formed through the joining of the egg and sperm cells is called a zygote.
|
|
|
What are cells that have half the number of chromosomes called?
|
Cells that have half the number of chromosomes are called gametes or sex cells.
|
|
|
What are the female gametes called?
What are the mael gametes called? |
The female gametes are eggs and the make gametes are sprem.
|
|
|
What happens after the zygote is formed?
|
After the zygote is formed, mitosis takes over and duplicates that first cell, forming stem cells that eventually become various body cells.
|
|
|
What do chromosomes contain?
|
Chromosomes contain rod-shaped spooled string of genes.
|
|
|
What is DNA?
|
DNA is a complex molecule found inside the chromosomes in the nucleus of a cell.
|
|
|
Where are genes found?
|
Genes are found in the chromosomes and come in pairs for each trait.
|
|
|
What happens to DNA during mitosis?
|
During mitosis, DNA is replicted or copied.
|
|
|
What are changes that occur during replication called?
|
Changes that occur during repliction are called mutations.
|
|
|
What forms the Genetic code pairs?
|
The order of the base pairs iin the DNA molecule forms the Genetic code pairs.
|
|
|
What is the study of Genetics?
|
Genetics is the study of traits and how they are passed on.
|
|
|
What is heredity?
|
The passing of traits from parents to offspring is called heredity.
|
|
|
What are inherited traits controlled by?
|
Inherited traits are controlled by genes.
|
|
|
What is the dominant gene?
|
A gene that always shows up in the offspring is the dominant gene.
|
|
|
What does a Punnett square show?
|
A Punnett square shows possible combinations of genes for a particular trait in offspring.
|
|
|
What makes a pure dominant trait?
|
An organism with 2 dominant gens is pure dominant for that trait.
|
|
|
When one parent is pure dominant and the other is pure recessive, what will the offspring be?
|
When one parent is pure dominant and the other is pure recessive, the offspring will be hybrid dominant.
|
|
|
What is an organism with 2 recessive genes?
|
An organism with 2 recessive genes is pure recessive for that trait.
|
|
|
Be able to complete Punnett squares accuarately and determine the outcome for 4 offspring - genotypes and phenotypes.
|
Know the different parts of a compound microscope and their function.
