Review:
What is an example of an acquired trait?
Review:
Which is the field of biology that studies the inheritance of traits?A. HeredityB. Genetics
Fill in the BlankWhen nitrogen bases pair in DNA, Adenine (A)
always pairs with______________________.
Hint: “If it’s not A_____, then it’s G_______”
Review:
What is the side (the “backbone”) of the DNA molecule made of?
INM: Mitosis = Cell Division
Mitosis: cell division in which the nucleus divides
Mitosis forms two daughter cells that are exactly the same as the parent cell
Genetics (cont) Date:
III.Mitosis is cell division in which the nucleus dividesA. Daughter Cells (formed by
mitosis) have exact copies of the parent cell chromosomes
