Why is it important that the cell's DNA is duplicated before cell division?
It ensures that each newcell will be an exactcopy of its parent cell.
Which processes result directly in the formation of cells with half the amount of genetic material that is characteristic of the species?
Process 4 and 2
How compared to mitosis the process of meiosis results in?
greater amount of genetic material per cell
Meiosis is a process of cell reduction Explain this statement?
the number of chromosomes per cell is cut in half through the separation of homologous chromosomes in a diploid cell.

if ur in ms engles class doing biology the dynamics of life i applaud you.
Normal cell division results in the production of?
two diploid cells, each with the same amount of genetic material and the same genetic information.
What has happened to the amount of genetic material in a cell after the S phase of interphase?
it doubles
What is the amount of variation in genetic material of all members in a population called?
Allele frequency.
How is genetic info held in the nucleus and and what in important about the amount in the sperm cell?
The sperm cell usually contains half the number of the genetic material.
Why must a cell reduce the amount of genetic material during meiosis?
So that it can separate into more cells.
Why is it important that the cell's DNA is duplicated before cell division?

What is the end results of sexual reproductions of meiosis?
A gamete is formed, which is a haploid (n=1): having half the amount of genetic material.
How do the cock and the hen pass on their characteristics to the chick?
With their genetic material. The chicks have copy, and therefore express a certain amount of the parents traits.
How compared to mitosis the process of meiosis results in?
greater amount of genetic material per cell
How many years will it take for one half of the original amount of material to decay?
If you are referring to a radioactive material, that will depend on the material. Different things have very different half-lives.
What is and egg cell?
Gametes! They contain half the amount of genetic material that body (somatic) cells contain. BAsed on this fact, they are called haploid.
