Front

Cellular process that replicates chromosomes and produces two identical nuclei in preparation for cell division.

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

The stored energy in any object or system.

Back

Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or arrangement. For example, a rock held at a height has gravitational potential energy.

Front

The difference between organisms caused by alternate forms of DNA.

Back

Front

The process by which organisms produce offspring.

Back

Reproduction is the biological process by which new individual organisms are produced, either sexually or asexually.

Front

The genetic makeup of an organism.

Back

Genotype refers to the genetic constitution of an individual, which determines specific traits.

Front

The observable characteristics of an organism.

Back

Phenotype is the physical expression of the genotype, influenced by environmental factors.

Front

The process of converting light energy into chemical energy in plants.

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

The movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.

Back

Diffusion is the process by which molecules spread from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
