Digestive and circulatory systems.

Front

How many new daughter cells does meiosis produce from a single parent cell?

Back

4 new daughter cells.

Front

What is the name given to part of a DNA molecule that codes for a protein?

Muscular and digestive systems.

Front

What is the term for growth in organisms in response to light, such as a stem bending toward a light source?

Back

Phototropism.

Front

What is the primary function of the circulatory system?

Back

To transport nutrients, gases, hormones, and waste products throughout the body.

Front

What is the role of the muscular system in digestion?

Back

It allows for the contraction of muscles to push food through the digestive tract.

Front

Define meiosis.

Back

A type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, resulting in four genetically diverse daughter cells.

Front

What is a chromosome?

Back

A structure made of DNA and protein that contains genetic information.

Front

What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis?

Back

Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, while meiosis results in four genetically diverse daughter cells.
