Total questions: 10
Worksheet time: 13mins
Which scenario best describes the process of mitosis benefiting an organism?
A plant has broad leaves that are able to collect sunlight to generate sugars.
An animal stores fat to protect its organs from very cold temperatures.
A person drinks a hot liquid that injures the taste cells on his tongue that later get regenerated.
A person eats a healthy lunch that provides energy to her body's cells.
A student listed the different life processes that depend on mitosis. Which process did he list incorrectly?
asexual reproduction
body growth
dead cell replacement
waste elimination
The process creates new genes, which increases the genetic variation in the offspring.
The process exchanges genes, which results in genetic variation in the offspring.
The process duplicates chromosomes, which results in more genetic information in the offspring.
The process removes chromosomes, which results in less genetic information in the offspring.
Which statement accurately describes how genetic information is transferred during meiosis?
Meiosis creates four daughter cells that have half the number of chromosomes that are present in the parent cells.
Meiosis creates two daughter cells that have half the number of chromosomes that are present in the parent cells.
Meiosis creates four daughter cells that have identical genetic information to the parent cells.
Meiosis creates two daughter cells that have identical genetic information to the parent cells.
Domestic cats transfer their genetic information to their offspring by meiosis. If a kitten has 38 chromosomes, how many chromosomes does the kitten inherit from its mother?
12
