CSET Science Latest Update With Complete
Solutions 100% Correct
mitosis - ANSWER cell division in which the nucleus divides into nuclei containing the
same number of chromosomes, new cell reproduction
meiosis - ANSWER (genetics) cell division that produces reproductive cells in sexually
reproducing organisms
gametes - ANSWER reproductive cells, possess only half as many chromosomes as
body cells
eukaryote - ANSWER cells containing nuclei
diploid- ANSWER (genetics) an organism or cell having two sets of chromosomes or
twice the haploid number
haploid- ANSWER (genetics) the state of having only one complete set of chromosomes
zygote- ANSWER fertilized egg
homologus chromosomes- ANSWER chromosomes that are similar in size, shape, genes
and band patterns.
interphase- ANSWER the intermission phase between more than one cell division
Prophase- the first and longest phase of mitosis, during which visible chromosomes
appear and centrioles separate and take up position on opposite sides of the nucleus
metaphase -the second phase of mitosis, during which the chromosomes line up across
, the center of the cell
anaphase the stage of meiosis or mitosis in which the chromosomes move toward
opposite ends of the nuclear spindle and the cell assumes an oval shape telophase the
last stage of mitosis and meiosis, during which a nuclear membrane (envelope)
develops around each set of new chromosomes cytokinesis division of the cytoplasm
and the cell membrane to form two daughter cells at the end of cell reproduction
metamorphosis ANSWER a sudden or dramatic change in appearance an animal
undergoes from birth to adult
natural selection ANSWER natural process in which individuals best adapted to the
natural environment have a better chance of survival and reproduction; survival of the
fittest
phenotypes ANSWER observable traits or characteristics of a living thing
Origin of Species - ANSWER Charles Darwin, 1859
1. survival of the fittest
2. natural selection
3. evolution of species over time
4. genetic variation through geographic isolation
Matter - ANSWER anything with mass and occupies space (solid, liquids, gas)
Boyle's Law - ANSWER The relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas at
constant temperture; when volume increase, pressure decreases.
Sublimation - ANSWER (chemistry) a change directly from the solid to the gaseous state
without becoming liquid
