Front

What does the similarity in embryonic development stages among different species imply?

Back

These species share a distant common ancestor.

Front

What is a potential negative result of growing genetically-modified corn that produces a natural pesticide?

Back

The insects could grow resistant to the pesticide in the genetically-modified corn and become immune to regular pesticides.

Front

What does the theory of endosymbiosis suggest about the origin of mitochondria and chloroplasts?

Back

They evolved from aerobic bacteria that were engulfed by anaerobic cells.

Front

What is true about the daughter cells produced by mitosis?

Back

The daughter cells are genetically identical both to each other and to the parent cell.

Front

What is a mutation in the context of DNA replication?

Back

A mutation is an error during DNA replication where one base pair is substituted for another.

Front

Define 'endosymbiosis'.

Back

Endosymbiosis is a theory that explains how eukaryotic cells evolved from prokaryotic cells through a symbiotic relationship.

Front

What are GMOs?

Back

Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) are organisms whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques.

Front

What is the role of mitochondria in eukaryotic cells?

Back

Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, responsible for producing energy through cellular respiration.

Front

What is the function of chloroplasts?

Back

Chloroplasts are organelles in plant cells that conduct photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy.

Front

What is the significance of genetic variation in populations?

Back

Genetic variation is crucial for evolution and adaptation, allowing populations to survive changing environments.
