The name of the diploid cell created when a haploid sperm cell fuses with a haploid egg cell is called a
a) Embryo
b) Fetus
c) Umbilicus
d) Zygote

As an embryo develops it undergoes mitotic cell division without changing in size by repeated divisions of the cell membrane. The division of the cell membrane occurs through the process of
a) Fertilization
b) Cleavage
c) Overproduction
d) Replication

What process occurs when a haploid sperm cell fuses with a haploid egg cell to create a diploid zygote?

c) Adrenaline
d) Testosterone

What is produced in the glands of the endocrine system?
a) Glycogen
b) Hormones
c) Toxins
d) DNA

Where do DNA mutations and chromosomal abnormalities need to occur if they are going to be passed on to future generations and influence natural selection?
a) Skin cells
b) Prokaryotic organisms
c) Nerve cells
d) Gametes

What term is used to describe the result of faulty DNA replication?
a) Translation
b) Mutation
c) Differentiation
d) Homeostasis

Modern techniques allow scientists to create complex organisms genetically identical to a parent. This process involves taking the DNA from one parent organism and placing it into an egg cell that has had its DNA removed. This process is called
a) Cloning
b) Differentiation
c) Mutation
d) Sexual Reproduction

What produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent organism?
a) Sexual reproduction
b) Asexual reproduction
c) Mutation
d) Differentiation

Meiosis, sexual reproduction, and crossing over are three processes that create what important aspect that is necessary for natural selection to occur?
a) Survival of the fittest
b) Variation
c) Genetic homogeneity
d) Overproduction of offspring
