Ultimate TEAS 7 prep 2025
Main idea ANS: A full sentence about what the text is about. Main point being made by the author.
Topic ANS: A few words about what the text is about. Subject of the text
Main point ANS: 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 ANS: supported directly by the text
Denotative ANS: Literal meaning of word
Technical writing ANS: Describes complex processes
Implications ANS: Things the author does not state directly
Abstract ANS: Summary of a book, comes before the table of contents
Opinion ANS: Author's own feelings. Look for words like "should, best, etc."
Explicit ANS: Told directly by the author, an author's interpretation of events or perspective
Implicit ANS: Not stated directly but the reader understands because of the clues in the text.
Summary ANS: 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 ANS: As one variable increases, the other decreases
Positive correlation ANS: As one variable increases, the other increases
Centromere ANS: Center of the chromosome determines how many chromosomes there are
chromatid ANS: long shape of the chromosome
chromatin ANS: messy form of chromosomes
Centrosome ANS: 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 ANS: TWO major phases (Interphase and mitosis)
At the beginning of S phase the cell has ANS: 46 total chromatin (23 maternal, 23 paternal)
Maternal ANS: From the mother
Paternal ANS: From the father
Interphase has _____ phases ANS: 3
G2 phase ANS: Cell continues to grow, centrioles begin to elongate
, G1 phase ANS: Cell is performing its normal task, begins to replicate organelles
S phase ANS: DNA replication begins, after replication the cell has 2x the amount of chromatin
Prophase ANS: 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 ANS: interphase
Metaphase ANS: - 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 ANS: - Cell begins to elongate
- Sister chromatids are pulled apart from each other, leaving 46 on both sides
Telophase ANS: - Cleavage furrow pinches parent cells into two identical daughter cells in a process
called cytokinesis.
- Nuclear envelope is reformed
- Microtubules release chromosomes
