Interphase- DNA replication - takes up majority of the time
Prophase- nuclear breakdown - spindle forms
Metaphase- chromosomes line up across the center
Haploid vs. Diploid Haploid- contain one of each kind of chromosome (gametes- reproductive organ) Diploid- contains two of each kind of chromosome (body cells)
Genetics
Monohybrid- one heterozygous trait x same heterozygous one trait ex. het. tall x het. tall **always 3/4 dominant, 1/4 recessive
Dihybrid- 2 heterozygous traits x same 2 heterozygous traits ex. het. tall, het. green x het. tall, het. green **always 9:3:3:1
Trihybrid- 3 heterozygous traits x same 3 heterozygous traits ex. het. tall, het. green, het. axial x het. tall, het. green, het. axial **always 27sfd9:9:9:3:3:3:1
Know Blood Typing, Incomplete and Complete dominance gene interactions w/ onions, cattle, and ferrets

    Which means a Carbon atom can form chains and rings onto which other atoms can be attached, which leads to a formation of large number of different compounds. For example Fatty acids contain the COOH group which is attached to hydrocarbon chain or ring. Organic compounds always contain carbon along with other elements such as hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. Monosaccharides are the monomers of carbohydrates Example os carbohydrates are Alcohol, sugar, fat, protein etc..Most of the living organisms are made of Carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Carbohydrates use carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen. The examples of carbohydrates are sugar, starch, cellulose, and glycogen. Carbohydrates are source of energy in the living organisms. Proteins are the combination of Hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen. Amino acids are the building blocks of the proteins. The sequence of Amino acid in protein is defined by the sequence of a gene, which is encoded in genetic code. In general, genetic code specifies 20 standard amino acids. Examples of proteins are hemoglobin, which is found in red blood cells and carry oxygen to all the cells of body. Lipids are made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.…

    DNA consists of two polynucleotide chains and these nucleotides consist of a deoxyribose sugar, a nitrogenous base and a phosphate group. The bases are Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine and Thymine. The sequence of these bases on DNA determines the structure of these proteins. A gene is a sequence of bases which codes for a single polypeptide. Chromosomes carry these genes and these genes come in specific forms called an allele which is how living organisms vary from each other. For example, humans are made up of an XY or XX chromosome. Females are XX and males are XY, however in some animals their sex is determined by the ZW sex-determination…

    One type of nucleic acid is the ribonucleic acid (RNA). The RNA is single-stranded used for the coding of the primary sequence of amino acids to make proteins, and is found mainly in the cytoplasm. In terms of structure, its distinguishing characteristic is that, from its name, ribonucleic acid indicates the presence of ribose, a cyclic monosaccharide with an aldehyde functional group. Furthermore, RNA can also be differentiated from other nucleic acids in terms of organic or nitrogen-containing bases. There are five organic bases involved in the formation of nucleic acids, and they could be categorized as purines and pyrimidines. The two-carbon nitrogen ring bases, such as adenine and guanine, are purines, while the one-carbon nitrogen ring bases, such as uracil, thymine and cytosine, are pyrimidines. [3]…
