Ultimate TEAS 7 prep 2025
Main idea - (correct Answer) - A full sentence about what the text is about. Main point being made by
the author.
Topic - (correct Answer) - A few words about what the text is about. Subject of the text
Main point - (correct Answer) - Similar to the main idea. Basically just the main point of the passage.
Look at the last sentence of the first paragraph (sometimes it's there)
Drawing logical conclusions must be - (correct Answer) - supported directly by the text
Denotative - (correct Answer) - Literal meaning of word
Technical writing - (correct Answer) - Describes complex processes
Implications - (correct Answer) - Things the author does not state directly
Abstract - (correct Answer) - Summary of a book, comes before the table of contents
Opinion - (correct Answer) - Author's own feelings. Look for words like "should, best, etc."
Explicit - (correct Answer) - Told directly by the author, an author's interpretation of events or
perspective
Implicit - (correct Answer) - Not stated directly but the reader understands because of the clues in the
text.
Summary - (correct Answer) - Look at the first sentence of the last paragraph. Summaries are hard to
read because they leave out digressions, graceful language, and asides
Negative correlation - (correct Answer) - As one variable increases, the other decreases
Positive correlation - (correct Answer) - As one variable increases, the other increases
Centromere - (correct Answer) - Center of the chromosome determines how many chromosomes there
are
chromatid - (correct Answer) - long shape of the chromosome
chromatin - (correct Answer) - messy form of chromosomes
Centrosome - (correct Answer) - Assists in moving chromosomes throughout the entire process. NOT the
same as Centromere. Remember it like this, chromosome ends with "some", so centro"some" refers to
chromosome. They have the same ending.
The cell cycle is divided into - (correct Answer) - TWO major phases (Interphase and mitosis)
At the beginning of S phase the cell has - (correct Answer) - 46 total chromatin (23 maternal, 23 paternal)
Maternal - (correct Answer) - From the mother
, Paternal - (correct Answer) - From the father
Interphase has _____ phases - (correct Answer) - 3
G2 phase - (correct Answer) - Cell continues to grow, centrioles begin to elongate
G1 phase - (correct Answer) - Cell is performing its normal task, begins to replicate organelles
S phase - (correct Answer) - DNA replication begins, after replication the cell has 2x the amount of
chromatin
Prophase - (correct Answer) - First phase of mitosis.
- Chromatin becomes chromatids
- nuclear envelope begins to dissolve
- Centrosomes migrate to ends of cell
Cells spend 3/4 of their time in - (correct Answer) - interphase
Metaphase - (correct Answer) - - Kinetochores form at the centromere, holds onto the microtubule and
locks it in place.
- Microtubule spindles connect to centromere
- Chromosomes line up in the middle along the metaphase plate
- Nuclear envelope has completely dissolved
Anaphase - (correct Answer) - - Cell begins to elongate
- Sister chromatids are pulled apart from each other, leaving 46 on both sides
Telophase - (correct Answer) - - Cleavage furrow pinches parent cells into two identical daughter cells in
a process called cytokinesis.
- Nuclear envelope is reformed
- Microtubules release chromosomes
G0 phase - (correct Answer) - Cell resting phase
Mitosis produces - (correct Answer) - 2 diploid cells
Quiescent state - (correct Answer) - Cells are dormant until stimulated. For example liver cells only divide
when there is some kind of viral stress, toxic stress, or trauma to the organ occurs.
Senescent state - (correct Answer) - Cells permanently do not enter the cell cycle. For example a cell that
is old or has permanently damaged dna.
Apoptosis - (correct Answer) - Cells that are programmed to die after they complete their task. For
example, cells that line the digestive tract die every 2 to 3 days after completing their task
