If a cell is like a 'factory,' what is its main product?

Back

The main product exported by the cell is protein.

Front

What contains all of the genetic information about the cell?

Back

Front

How many chromosomes do daughter cells have after mitosis if a human cell has 46 chromosomes before division?

Back

Daughter cells will have 46 chromosomes after mitosis.

Front

What does cancer disrupt to create abnormal cells?

Back

Cancer disrupts the cell cycle to create abnormal cells.

Front

What is the cell cycle?

Back

The cell cycle is the series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and replication.

Front

What is mitosis?

Back

Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells.

Front

What is the role of DNA in a cell?

Back

DNA stores and transmits genetic information necessary for the growth, development, and functioning of living organisms.

Front

What are chromosomes?

Back

Chromosomes are structures within cells that contain DNA and genetic information.

Front

What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis?

Back

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