| How does the ongoing production of new cells benefit any multicellular organism? | If there are some cells that die, other cells can be generated to make up the loss. |
| What would happen to a cell if it continued to grow unchecked? | It would eventually pop like a balloon or die in its own waste. |
| What is replication? | When the cell splits |
| What makes up the cell cycle? | Inter phase & mitosis |
| meiosis | produces haploid cells |
| mitosis | occurs in all body cells |
| mitosis & meiosis | produces diploid cells |
| mitosis & meiosis | Allows for genetic continuity |
| meiosis | Results in the production of four sperm cells |
| meiosis | Results in the production of one egg cell |
| meiosis & mitosis | Occurs in animals and flowering plants |
| meiosis | Involves two cell divisions |
| How is variation important to a species? | It produces different types of organisms so there will be a new organism for each type |
