|
_______ form a zygote. |
Gametes |
|
A nucleus has one or two complete copies of a genome. These are known as _________ and _________. |
Haploid and diploid |
|
Name the four phases of mitosis. |

Metaphase |
|
When it comes to meiosis, how many phases are there? |
There are four phases. |
|
When it comes to meiosis, how many stages are there? |
There are two stages for each phase. |

Define cytokinesis. |
Cytoplasmic division |
|
When does cytokinesis occur in mitosis? |
It occurs simultaneously with telophase of mitosis. |

In describing the nutrition of protozoa, most are ______________________. |
Chemoheterotrophic |
|
Define what it means to call something chemoheterotrophic. |
An example is protozoa which obtain nutrients by phagocytizing bacteria, decaying organic matter, other protozoa or tissues of a host. |
|
In describing nutrition of protozoa, dinoflagellates and euglenoids are ___________________. |
Photoautotrophic |
|
Name two types of asexual reproduction of protozoa. |
1. Binary fission 2. Schizogony |
|
Name two types of sexual reproduction of protozoa. |
1. Some become gametocytes that fuse to form diploid zygotes. 2. Some utilize a process called conjugation. |

|
Describe reproduction in multicellular algae. |
1. Asexual reproduction by fragmentation. 2. Sexual reproduction with alternation of generations. |
|
Known as partnerships between fungi and photosynthetic microbes. |
Lichens |
