1MHIC EXAM QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS 100% PASSQUESTIONS
1. Apoptosis ANSWERprogrammed cell death
2. binary fission ANSWERA form of asexual reproduction in which
one cell divides to form two identical cells.
3. Meiosis ANSWERCell division that produces reproductive cells in
sexually reproducing organisms
4. Mitosis ANSWERcell division in which the nucleus divides into
nuclei containing the same number of chromosomes
5. Morula ANSWERA solid ball of 16 cells that makes up an embryo;
in humans, this stage occurs within four days of fertilization.
6. Multipotent ANSWERA stem cell that can develop only into cells
of similar type.
7. Mutation ANSWERchange in a DNA sequence that affects genetic
information
8. Blastocyst ANSWERA stage of early development in mammals
that consists of a hollow ball of cells: the outer layer of cells
develops into the placenta, an inner layer of cells develops into
the embryo, and a fluid-filled cavity.
9. Carcinogen ANSWERA cancer-causing substance

10. cell cycle ANSWERThe regular sequence of growth and
division that cells undergo
11. cell plate ANSWERA double membrane across the midline of
a dividing plant cell, between which the new cell wall forms
during cytokinesis.
12. Centriole ANSWERCell organelle that aids in cell division in
animal cells only
13. Centromere ANSWERthe region of the chromosome that
holds the two sister chromatids together during mitosis
14. Chromatid ANSWEROne of two identical "sister" parts of a
duplicated chromosome which are joined at a centromere.
15. Chromatin ANSWERA large molecule found in eukaryotic
chromosomes that consists of DNA, protein and RNA, located in
the cell nucleus.
16. cord blood ANSWERblood from the human umbilical cord, a
source of stem cells.
