Put a box around metaphase in the diagram.

1

Explain in complete sentences what is occurring to the chromosomes during metaphase.

Which scientist(s) are incorrectly matched with their contribution to understanding DNA?

In the question above, the scientist in A (Chargaff) is incorrectly matched with his contribution. Identify what he actually discovered or contributed to our understanding of DNA.

1

Bacteria reproduce using what type of process?

In the question above, B is the correct answer choice. Why isn't A correct? Include in your answer a description of budding and an example of an organism that reproduces by that process.

A chef cuts his finger while slicing tomatoes for the night’s signature recipe. Upon injury, the chef’s cells grow, develop, and divide in order to....

Scenario 1

Identify 3 reasons why cells divide. Also, discuss which reason(s) Scenario 1 relates to.

1

A student has made a critical error in their cell cycle diagram. Explain what important event would happen during the missing phase.
Make sure to include in your response the name of the missing phase and what happens during that phase.

1

If a parent cell begins mitosis with 46 chromosomes, how many chromosomes will be in each daughter cell at the end of mitosis? Write the number of chromosmes in each of the daughter cells.

1

What size cube leads to the most effective transport of nutrients throughout the cell? i.e. has a greater volume to surface area ratio?

1

What sequence of bases would be complementary to the model below?

1

X outlines a(n) ___________.

The diagram shows cells in different phases of mitosis. A student is trying to find a cell in a particular phase of mitosis. The student is looking for evidence that spindle fibers are separating the chromosomes to ensure that each new nucleus has one copy of each chromosomes.

Which cell is in the phase of mitosis that the student is searching for?

In the question above B is the correct answer choice. Why is C not the correct answer? Include in your response, the name of the phase and what is happening.

Using knowledge gained from Erwin Chargaff, answer the following:
In a sample of DNA , the percentage of adenine equals 31.5%. Therefore,

Oncogenes are mutated forms of genes. Oncogenes can transform a cell into a tumor cell. Some tumor cells are benign, while others are malignant. How does the presence of an oncogene lead to the formation of a tumor?
