Biology EOC Review Set 10

Front

What happens to water molecules when a cell is placed in a saline solution with higher salt concentration?

Back

Water molecules will move until the salt concentration is the same inside and outside of the cell.

Front

What is the process called when DNA makes a copy of itself?

Back

Replication.

Front

How many chromosomes are present in each daughter cell after mitosis if a goat bone cell has 60 chromosomes?

Back

60 chromosomes.

Front

What is the diploid number of chromosomes?

Back

The diploid number is the total number of chromosomes in a cell, which is 2 sets of chromosomes.

Front

What is the primary function of DNA replication?

Back

To ensure daughter cells have a complete copy of the DNA.

Front

What is the role of RNA in protein synthesis?

Back

RNA serves as a template for assembling amino acids into proteins.

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 the difference between diploid and haploid cells?

Back

Diploid cells have two sets of chromosomes (2n), while haploid cells have one set of chromosomes (n).

Front

What is the significance of genetic variation in populations?

Back

Genetic variation increases the chances of survival and adaptation in changing environments.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in a cell?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis, where amino acids are assembled into proteins.
