Osmosis, and diffusion
Mitosis, and Meiosis
stressing, and relaxing
Mitosis is primarily used for what purpose?

diversity in a species
making gametes
confusing 7th graders

exactly
three times
half

Meiosis results in 4 diploid cells
true
false
Mitosis results in two identical cells
true
false
Gametes are also known as ______ cells.
diploid
skin
heart
sex
Gametes in males are called sperm cells, and in women are _____ cells.
egg
small
diploid
brain
Why do gametes have only half the necessary chromosomes to make a new organism?
Gametes are lazy
Gametes from a male, and female, (of a given species) combine to supply the missing half of DNA.
That's just how they are
Gametes do not need more DNA

Sexual reproduction is possible when this happens
two gametes, from two different organisms (of the same species) meet
when mitosis happens
when you cut yourself on accident

genetically different
very inexpensive
all sheep

What can you conclude from the fact that humans have cloned plants for thousands of years?
Most of the crops that exist today are clones
Cloning plants is much easier than cloning animals
Cloned plants are immune to all diseases and pests
Much of today's modern technology was developed in ancient times
How might cloning eventually help humans live longer?
Clones tend to live longer than the parent organism
Cloned human organs could replace unhealthy ones
By being cloned multiple times, a person could essentially live forever
The food obtained from cloned organisms would be healthier than ordinary food
