| 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 |
