What direction does Osmosis move?
From a Low to High solute or High water to Low water
How many cells are produced during mitosis?
2 cells
How many cells are produced during meiosis?
4 cells
Does cold or hot temperatures cause the molecules to diffuse faster?
Hot temperatures
How many chromosomes do the offspring get if the parents has 46 chromosomes in Meiosis?
The offspring gets 23 chromosomes
What are other names are for the Cell Membrane?
Plasma Membrane & Phospholipid Bilayer
What is the result of abnormal cell growth?
Cancer
What are the two important things that happen during prophase?
The chromatin condenses into chromosomes & nuclear envelope breaks down
What happens during Metaphase 1 in Meiosis
The Homologous chromosomes line up in pairs.
What are the functions of Ribosomes?
Protein Synthesis
What happens during G1?
The cell grows rapidly while carrying out routine functions.
What happens during S?
The cell’s DNA is replicated
What happens during G2?
The cell prepares for Mitosis & the new DNA is checked for errors
What happens when a cell stops responding to regulatory signals?
The cell turns into tumor cells
What is Mitosis and what does it produce?
Mitosis produces two genetically identical daughter cells that are Diploids with 46 chromosomes. The purpose of Mitosis is to make more body cells.
