  • Q4
    As a result of mitosis, each of your body cells
    contains only the genetic information needed for that type of cell.

  • Q5
    When a cell divides via asexual reproduction
    each daughter cell receives a copy of all of the parent cell's genetic information
    each daughter cell receives the same amount of genetic information that was in the parent cell, but it has been altered.
    each daughter cell receives exactly half the genetic information in the parent cell.
    the genetic information is randomly parceled out to the daughter cells.

  • Q6
    How do prokaryotic and eukaryotic chromosomes differ?
    Eukaryotic chromosomes occur singly, and prokaryotic chromosomes occur as pairs.
    Prokaryotic chromosomes are not made from nucleotides.
    Prokaryotic chromosomes are not contained in a membrane-bound organelle
    Genetic information is stored as DNA in eukaryotic cells and as proteins in prokaryotic cells.

    What does multipotent refer to
    Stem cells which can differentiate into any cell tupe
    Stem cells which can only differentiate into cell types associated with that tissue
    When only the genes which code for the proteins for that cell type are expressed
    Stem cells’ ability to self-renew
