A cell with two sets of chromosomes--one from each parent.

G1- cell growth S- DNA synthesis G2- prepare for mitosis

A cladogram is a diagram that shows the evolutionary relationships among organisms; they're plotted as branches based on derived characteristics that are shared

A structure or body part that once had a purpose, but is not currently used by a species

Theory

Large cells place more demands on DNA, the cell has trouble moving enough material in and out of the cell membrane

100 atoms--> 50 atoms --> 25 atoms --> 12.5 atoms remain

They increase the number of different phenotypes that are possible.

one set (23 total chromosomes)

The genetic makeup of an organism, represented by letters.

Variation in the population, Genetic mutations/adaptations, Competition in the population

Interphase occurs before meiosis 1, but does not occur before meiosis 2.

When one allele is not completely dominant over another, so that the resulting phenotype is a blend.
