#1
Front (Question)

Chromosomes contain the genetic information which is passed from

Back (Answer)

generation to generation as genes

#2
Front (Question)

Each gene is a short length of a

Back (Answer)

chromosome

#3
Front (Question)

A gene is a

Back (Answer)

short length of a chromosome

#4
Front (Question)

A gene has an effect on the cell by

Back (Answer)

having the information to cause a protein to be made

#5
Front (Question)

What effect does the gene have on a cell

Back (Answer)

It provides the cell with information to make a protein

#6
Front (Question)

How many chromosomes do humans have?

Back (Answer)

46

#7
Front (Question)

Chromosomes can be ordered in pairs by

Back (Answer)

size and shape

#8
Front (Question)

ordered pairs of chromosomes are called

Back (Answer)

homologous pairs

#9
Front (Question)

Homologous pairs of chromosomes are called this because

Back (Answer)

they both have genes for the same characteristic

#10
Front (Question)

Pair 23 does what?

Back (Answer)

Determines the sex of the person

#11
Front (Question)

Pair 23 is called the

Back (Answer)

Sex chromosomes

#12
Front (Question)

If a person has two X chromosomes they are

Back (Answer)

female

#13
Front (Question)

If a person has an X and a Y chromosome they are a

Back (Answer)

male

#14
Front (Question)

The other 22 chromosome pairs that aren’t sex chromosomes are called

Back (Answer)

autosomes

#15
Front (Question)

Mitosis: Before a cell division every chromosome

Back (Answer)

replicates to give two chromosomes which are identical

#16
Front (Question)

Mitosis: Replication before mitosis ensures that

Back (Answer)

both daughter cells get a copy of every gene

#17
Front (Question)

Mitosis: Replication begins by unzipping the DNA molecule by

Back (Answer)

breaking the hydrogen bonds between the bases

#18
Front (Question)

This process of breaking the hydrogen bonds requires

Back (Answer)

Enzymes and Energy from ATP

#19
Front (Question)

Mitosis: Free DNA nucleotides join to the

Back (Answer)

exposed bases on both strands

#20
Front (Question)

Mitosis: The new nucleotides join with each other by

Back (Answer)

phosphate to deoxyribose sugar

#21
Front (Question)

Mitosis: This process produces two chromosomes that are

Back (Answer)

identical to each other

#22
Front (Question)

Meiosis is a type of cell division in which a gamete mother cell with 46 chromosomes produces

Back (Answer)

four cells with 23 chromosomes

#23
Front (Question)

Cells with only 23 chromosomes are called

Back (Answer)

haploid cells

#24
Front (Question)

When a haploid sperm fertilizes a haploid ova resulting in a

Back (Answer)

diploid zygote
