ANP 201 Study Guide - Final Guide: Scientific Method, Meiosis, Mitosis
Document Summary
50 questions; 2 series of matching; 10 t/f. Mitosis: simple cell division; the process by which somatic cells divide to produce two identical daughter cells all other cells. Meiosis: cell division in specialized cells in ovaries and testes; involves two divisions and results in four daughter cells, each containing only half the original number of chromosomes; develop into gametes usually; major process in evolution. Stratigraphy: study of the sequential layering of deposits. The scientific method: an approach to research whereby a question is asked, a hypothesis (or provisional explanation) is stated, and that hypothesis is tested by collecting and analyzing data. Prehensile: grasping, by the hands and feet of primates. Evolution: a change in the genetic structure of a population; appearance of a new species. Sexual dimorphism: differences in physical characteristics between males and females of the same species. Theory: a broad statement of scientific relationships or underlying principles that has been substantially verified through the testing of hypotheses.
