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