Question 1

Is known as the “ basic unit of life “ or “ fundamental component of an organism “

Answer 1

CELL

Question 2

It refers to the process of transmission of genes from parent to offspring.

Is the passing of genetic traits from parents to their offspring, and these offspring get all the genetic info from the parents.

Answer 2

INHERITANCE

Answer 6

CHROMOSOME

Question 7

also described as the constriction point which divides the chromosome into two sections, or ” arms “

Answer 9

CENTROMERE

Question 10

also known as p arm

Answer 11

SHORT ARM

Question 12

lower arms of the chromosome which is usually longer.

Answer 12

Q ARM

Question 13

Is a series of events that takes place in a cell as it grows and divides.

Answer 13

CELL CYCLE

Question 14

The cell cycle is divided into two stages :

Answer 14

INTERPHASE & CELL DIVISION ( MITOTIC PHASE )

Question 15

Is the interval between two cell divisions.

Answer 15

INTERPHASE

Question 16

During this stage, the cell is not dividing ; it merely grows.

Answer 16

INTERPHASE

Question 17

During this stage, the cell is not dividing ; it obtains nutrients and metabolizes, grows. replicates its DNA in preparation for Mitosis.

Answer 17

INTERPHASE

Question 18

What are the three sub stages of Interphase>

Answer 18

• G1 PHASE
• S PHASE
• G2 PHASE

Question 19

in this phase :

• the cell grows initially
• RNA occurs
• Increase number of Mitochondria

Answer 19

G1 PHASE

Question 20

In this phase :

• DNA are synthesized in preparation for the next cell division

Answer 20

S PHASE

Question 21

in this phase :

The cell grows rapidly and prepares for the actual cell division.

Answer 21

G2 PHASE
