Biology EOC Review 2

Front

What component of DNA determines the traits that are inherited?

Back

Nitrogenous bases are the components of DNA that determine the traits inherited by an organism.

Front

In which structure do plant cells produce their own food?

Back

Chloroplasts are the structures in plant cells where photosynthesis occurs, allowing them to produce their own food.

Front

What is a similarity between mitosis and meiosis?

Back

Both mitosis and meiosis require DNA replication before the cell division process begins.

Front

What cell process is most likely to stop if colchicine is added to a culture of human liver cells?

Back

Mitosis is the cell process that would most likely stop as a result of colchicine, which disrupts spindle formation.

Front

What is the word equation for cellular respiration?

Back

The word equation for cellular respiration is: glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water.

Front

What is the function of chloroplasts in plant cells?

Back

Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

Front

What is the main purpose of mitosis?

Back

The main purpose of mitosis is to produce two genetically identical daughter cells for growth and repair.

Front

What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis?

Back

Mitosis results in two identical cells, while meiosis results in four genetically diverse gametes.

Front

What role do nitrogenous bases play in DNA?

Back

Nitrogenous bases pair with each other to form the rungs of the DNA ladder, encoding genetic information.

Front

What is the significance of DNA replication?

Back

DNA replication is crucial for cell division, ensuring that each daughter cell receives an exact copy of the DNA.
