Exam 3

Front

What is the probability of obtaining a homozygous recessive offspring from a cross between two heterozygous parents?

Back

Front

What is the first step of cellular respiration?

Back

The first step of cellular respiration is Glycolysis.

Front

During which phase of the cell cycle does the cell prepare for mitosis?

Back

The cell prepares for mitosis during the G2 phase.

Front

Where does the Citric Acid Cycle occur within the cell?

Back

The Citric Acid Cycle occurs in the Mitochondrial matrix.

Front

Which process results in the formation of four genetically unique daughter cells?

Back

The process that results in the formation of four genetically unique daughter cells is Meiosis.

Front

Define homozygous recessive.

Back

Homozygous recessive refers to an organism that has two identical recessive alleles for a particular gene.

Front

What is the role of glycolysis in cellular respiration?

Back

Glycolysis breaks down glucose into pyruvate, producing ATP and NADH in the process.

Front

What happens during the G2 phase of the cell cycle?

Back

During the G2 phase, the cell continues to grow and prepares for mitosis by producing proteins and organelles.

Front

What is the main function of the mitochondria?

Back

The main function of the mitochondria is to produce ATP through cellular respiration.

Front

Explain the difference between mitosis and meiosis.

Back

Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, while meiosis results in four genetically unique daughter cells.
