Question 1

What is Mitosis?

Answer 1

The reproduction of cells to form two identical daughter cells. It produces new cells and replaces cells that are old, lost, or damaged.

Question 2

What type of organism uses mitosis?

Answer 2

One-celled living organisms that use mitosis for asexual reproduction - creating clones of themselves.

Question 3

What is cancer?

Answer 3

The uncontrolled and abnormal division and growth of cells.

Question 4

What happens during interphase (The first stage)?

Answer 4

Cells grow and prepares before duplication.

Question 5

What happens during Prophase? (The second phase)

Answer 5

The membrane around the nucleus dissolves and the DNA duplicates.

Question 6

What happens during Metaphase? (The third stage)

Answer 6

DNA lines up along the middle.

Question 7

What happens during Anaphase? (The fourth stage)

Answer 7

The centrioles start moving apart and pulling apart DNA pairs.

Question 8

What happens during Telophase?

Answer 8

Two daughter cells that are identical to the mother cell are formed.

Question 9

What happens during Cytokinesis?

Answer 9

The cytoplasm divides which creates a new cell.

Question 10

True/False? Daughter cells do not have a complete set of chromosomes and these cells are called haploids.

Answer 10

False. Daughter cells have a complete set of chromosomes and these cells are called diploids.

Question 11

What is Meiosis?

Answer 11

A type of cell division that produces four haploid cells out of one diploid cell. Meiosis produces cells with HALF of the DNA.

Question 12

What are diploids?

Answer 12

A cell with its full and normal amount of DNA

Question 13

What are haploids?

Answer 13

Cells that have half the normal amount of DNA.

Question 14

What are gametes?

Answer 14

A sex cell (a sperm or egg)

Question 15

What is gametogenesis?

Answer 15

The process in which cells undergo meiosis to form gametes.

Question 16

What does Sexual Reproduction allow?

Answer 16

Variation within a species.

Question 17

What is ovulation?

Answer 17

Eggs released from an ovary.

Question 18

What is fertilization?

Answer 18

The action or process of fertilizing an egg, female animal, or plant, involving the fusion of male and female gametes to form a zygote. In humans in the fallopian tubes.

Question 19

What is the result of fertilization?

Answer 19

A zygote

Question 20

Remember this

Sperm + Eggs —-> Zygote —> Morula —> Blastula —> Gastula —-> Embryo —-> Fetus —-> Infant

Answer 20

How confident are you?

Question 21

What does the zygote do in the process?

Answer 21

It keeps dividing until there is a dense ball of cells called morula.

Question 22

What does the morula do in the process?

Answer 22

It gets larger and becomes hollow, now its called a blastula.

Question 23

What is the Placenta?

Answer 23

After two weeks of fertilization, the placenta begins to form and it is fully developed by the 10th week. The placenta is the organ that provides food and oxygen and also removes waste.

Question 24

What is the umbilical cord?

Answer 24

A tube containing blood vessels, serves as the connection between the fetus and the mother. Blood cells do not pass through the placenta. The mother’s antibodies pass to the fetus and help protect the newborn until its immune system is functioning.

Question 25

What are flowers (Reproductive organs) made of?

Answer 25

Sepals, petals, stamens, and carpels.

Question 26

What does the ovary do in a flower?

Answer 26

It surrounds and protects the seeds.

Question 27

What is the stigma?

Answer 27

Where pollen lands and pollination begins. The style connects the stigma to the ovary.

Question 28

What is pollination?

Answer 28

Where pollen is transferred from the male structure (stamen) of one flower to the female structure (pistil/carpel) of another flower.

Question 29

What is a pollen grain?

Answer 29

A tiny structure that contains the entire male gamete. It can be carried to other flowers by wind, insects, or small animals.

Question 30

What is fertilization in flowers?

Answer 30

Occurs when the pollen (male gamete) fuses with the ovule (the female gamete) *Sexual Reproduction*

Question 31

What is a seed and what is an embryo?

Answer 31

A seed is the embryo of a plant, surrounded by a food supply and encased in a protective covering. An embryo is an organism in the early stages of development.
