| Cell Division | ||
| #1 | These are the three reasons why cells divide. | Reproduction, growth, and repair. |
| #2 | These are the two general types of cell division. | Asexual and Sexual reproduction. |
| #3 | Budding, binary fission, and regeneration are three types of what? | Asexual reproduction. |
| #4 | What is a DISADVANTAGE of asexual reproduction? | Genetically identical so they are vulnerable to disease. |
| #5 | What is an ADVANTAGE of asexual reproduction? | Fast - lots of new individuals very quickly, no need to find a partner, and/or favorable traits are passed on from parent. |
| Intro to Genetics | ||
| #1 | This is the study of heredity and the variation of inherited characteristics. | Genetics |
| #2 | These are a set of instructions for an inherited trait. | Gene(s) |
| #3 | This is a structure in the nucleus made of protein and DNA. | Chromosome |
| #4 | Your hair color is an example of what in Genetics. | A Trait. |
| #5 | Heredity is... | ...the passing of genetic material from parent to offspring. |
| Mitosis vs. Meiosis | ||
| #1 | The life cycle of a cell is called ________________. | The cell cycle. |
| #2 | These are the three stages of the cell cycle. | Interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis. |
| #3 | Which process results in two GENETICALLY IDENTICAL daughter cells? | Mitosis |
| #4 | Which process results in four GENETICALLY DIFFERENT daughter cells? | Meiosis |
| #5 | These are the four stages of mitosis. | Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. |
| Heredity | ||
| #1 | These are different versions of the same gene. | Alleles |
| #2 | This is the combination of alleles you inherit from your parents. | Genotype |
| #3 | These genes have either two dominant or two recessive alleles. | Homozygous |
| #4 | ___________ alleles are seen in the phenotype if at least ONE is present in the DNA. | Dominant |
| #5 | This is the process we use to find the probability of inherited traits in offspring. | Punnett squares. |
| Throwback Thursday | ||
| #1 | This type of rock is formed by cooling lava/magma. | Igneous |
| #2 | This is the process that drives plate tectonics. | Convection currents in the mantle. |
| #3 | This is the act of clearing a wide area of trees. | Deforestation |
| #4 | These are the three types of PLATE boundaries. | Convergent, divergent, and transform |
| #5 | This states that the older sedimentary rock layers are down on the bottom and the younger layers are on the top of them. | The Law of Superposition |
| Final Question | |
| This is an illustration of how parents may pass on alleles to their offspring. | A pedigree |
