Practice EOC/Final Exam Review

Front

What is the result of mitosis in eukaryotic cells?

Back

Two identical cells with all of the original chromosomes.

Front

What does each box in a Punnett Square represent?

Back

25% probability of an offspring's genotype.

Front

What type of natural selection occurs if a predator can run faster than half of a prey population?

Back

Directional selection, where the faster individuals are favored.

Front

Which group of animals is most closely related to birds?

Back

Saurischian dinosaurs.

Front

What are the main sources of energy for organisms that use cellular respiration to produce ATP?

Back

Carbohydrates.

Front

Define mitosis.

Back

Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Front

What is a Punnett Square used for?

Back

A Punnett Square is used to predict the genotypes of offspring from a genetic cross.

Front

Explain the concept of natural selection.

Back

Natural selection is the process by which organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring.

Front

What is the significance of carbohydrates in cellular respiration?

Back

Carbohydrates are the primary source of energy for cellular respiration, which produces ATP.

Front

What is the difference between homologous and analogous structures?

Back

Homologous structures are similar due to shared ancestry, while analogous structures are similar due to convergent evolution.
