AQA GCSE Biology Unit 2.5

1

Which type of cell division produces cells with the diploid (2n) number of chromosomes?

1

Which type of cell division produces cells with the haploid (n) number of chromosomes?

1

Which type of cell division produces somatic (body) cells?

1

Which type of cell division produces gametes?

1

Which type of cell division is used in asexual reproduction and leads to no genetic variation?

1

Which type of cell division is used in sexual reproduction and leads to genetic variation?

1

True or false? In order to undergo cell division, the chromosomes in the cell need to be copied.

1

Where would you find totipotent, undifferentiated stem cells?

1

Why do gametes (sperm and ova) have a haploid (n) number of chromosomes?

1

True or false? Research on embryo stem cells is not considered unethical as the embryo is not yet alive.

1

True or false? In 2010, the first organ grown using stem cells was successfully transplanted into a human child.

1

Which scientist came up with the idea of genes but was ignored for many years as DNA had yet to be discovered?

1

What does a codon (a sequence of three nucleotide bases) code for?

1

What is the best definition of a recessive allele?

1

What would be the genotype of a person who was homozygous dominant for brown eyes?

1

True or false? A person's phenotype is the combination of alleles that they have.

1

What is a Punnet square?

1

Which of these diseases are caused by dominant alleles?

1

True or false? Cystic fibrosis causes mucus to become thick and sticky, often leading to problems with breathing, digestion and fertility.

1

True or false? A carrier of cystic fibrosis will have the heterozygous genotype Cc.
