1. | science of life and living organisms |
| |
2. | the organs and glands in the body that are responsible for digestion |
| |
3. | the opening in the lower part of the human face, through which food is taken in |
| |
4. | it carries food, liquids, and saliva from the mouth to the stomach |
| |
5. | breaks down and digest food in order to extract necessary nutrients from what you have eaten |
| |
6. | absorbs nutrients and minerals from food |
| |
7. | absorbs water from the remaining indigestible food matter and transmit the useless waste material from the body |
| |
8. | opening at the lower end of the digestive tract that controls the expulsion of feces |
| |
9. | filters and processes blood as it circulates through the body |
| |
10. | stores and concentrate bile, a yellow-brown digestive enzyme produced by the liver |
| |
11. | releases juices directly into the bloodstream |
| |
12. | the resting phase between successive mitotic divisions of a cell, or between the first and second divisions of meiosis |
| |
13. | the division of a cell into two daughter cells with the same genetic material |
| |
14. | series of events that takes place in a cell as it grows and divides |
| |
15. | a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, typical of ordinary tissue growth |
| |
16. | a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell, as in the production of gametes and plant spores |
| |
17. | the chromosomes become visible as paired chromatids and the nuclear envelope disappears |
| |
18. | the chromosomes become attached to the spindle fibers |
| |
19. | the chromosomes move away from one another to opposite poles of the spindle |
| |
20. | the chromatids or chromosomes move to opposite ends of the cell and two nuclei are formed |
| |
21. | the father of modern genetics |
| |
22. | a trait that will appear in the offspring if one of the parents contributes it |
| |
23. | a trait that can be carried in a person's genes without appearing in that person |
| |
24. | individual's collection of genes |
| |
25. | individual's observable traits, such as height, eye color, and blood type |
