WGU C190 Objective Assessment (NEW 2025/ 2026
Update) Introduction to Biology | Questions & Answers
| Grade A| 100% Correct (Verified Solutions)
Abiotic - answer-:Non-living
Biotic - answer-:living things
Biology - answer-:The study of life
Metaphase - answer-:second phase of mitosis, during which the chromosomes line up across
the center of the cell
Anaphase - answer-:Phase of mitosis in which the chromosomes separate and move to opposite
ends of the cell
Telophase - answer-:After the chromosome seperates, the cell seals off, Final Phase of Mitosis.
Sexual Reproduction - answer-:A reproductive process that involves two parents that combine
their genetic material to produce a new organism, which differs from both parents
,Asexual reproduction - answer-:A reproductive process that involves only one parent and
produces offspring that are identical to the parent.
Haploid - answer-:An organism or cell having only one complete set of chromosomes.
Diploid - answer-:(genetics) an organism or cell having two sets of chromosomes or twice the
haploid number
Meiosis 1: Prophase 1 - answer-:Homologous chromosomes condense, pair up, and swap
segments
Spindle microtubules attach to chromosomes as the nuclear envelope breaks up
Meiosis 1: Metaphase 1 - answer-:The homologous chromosome pairs are aligned midway
between spindle poles
Meiosis 1: Anaphase 1 - answer-:Homologous pairs separate and move toward opposite poles
of the cell
Meiosis 1: Telophase 1 - answer-:- Duplicated chromosomes have reached the poles.
- A nuclear envelope re-forms around chromosomes in some species.
- Each nucleus has the haploid number of chromosomes.
Meiosis II - answer-:the second phase of meiosis consisting of chromatids separating, along with
the two diploid cells splitting in two
Meiosis II: Prophase II - answer-:A spindle forms and moves chromosomes toward the middle of
the cell.
, Meiosis II: Metaphase II - answer-:Duplicated chromosomes align at the cell equator
Meiosis II: Anaphase II - answer-:Sister chromatids separate, individual chromosomes move
toward opposite poles
Meiosis II: Telophase II - answer-:Chromosomes have reached the poles of the cell.
A nuclear envelope forms around each set of chromosomes.
With cytokinesis, four haploid cells are produced.
Gametes - answer-:reproductive cells
Phenotype - answer-:An organism's physical appearance, or visible traits.
Genotype - answer-:An organism's genetic makeup, or allele combinations.
Gene - answer-:A segment of DNA on a chromosome that codes for a specific trait
Allele - answer-:An alternative form of a gene.
Homozygous - answer-:An organism that has two identical alleles for a trait
Heterozygous - answer-:An organism that has two different alleles for a trait
Law of Segregation - answer-:Mendel's law that states that the pairs of homologous
chromosomes separate in meiosis so that only one chromosome from each pair is present in
each gamete
