1. What is the important difference between a living thing and a non- living thing?
2. How will understanding classification of living things help you to understand relationships that exist among all living things? 3. What are the main differences between a plant and animal cell? 4. Know the process of photosynthesis. What does it produce for the plant? 5. How do the different functions of cell organelles, such as mitochondria, help you move and respond in your everyday life? 6.What is the hierarchical organization of multicellular organisms? Why is it important? 7. Why do cells undergo mitosis? (3 reasons) 8.What is the relationship between DNA, Chromosomes and Genes? 9. Why don't offspring always look like their parents? 10.

1.You scrape your knee, what would repair your skin cells mitosis or meiosis? Why? 2 .A mother is three months pregnant, what process is responsible for the growth of her child: Mitosis or Meiosis? 3. Gametes are sex cells such as the egg or sperm. Are gametes haploid or diploid? Explain your logic. 4.True or False: DNA replication happens before Mitosis and Meiosis. 5.If you see a picture with homologous chromosomes paired, you know that it is a picture of which process, mitosis or meiosis? 6.Do you think the nuclear envelope breaks apart during meiosis as it does during mitosis? Explain your logic. 7.You see a picture of sister chromatids being pulled apart, is this mitosis or meiosis? (This is a hard but important question) 8.True or False: Both mitosis and meiosis make new cells from existing cells. 9.Draw a cell that has a haploid number of 3. What would that same cells' diploid number be? |
