1. If a human muscle cell contains 46 chromosomes, indicate the number of

chromosomes that you would expect to find in the cells shown in Figures 3, 4, 5,
and 6, on the next page.

1. Provide examples of hereditary traits that are

(a) skin color, personality traits, Facial features, curly hair.
(b) Gender and height
2. Many single-cell organisms divide by a process called binary fission. One cell divides into two cells
identical to each other and identical to the original cell. More complex organisms form specialized sex
cells. When sex cells combine from two different organisms, they form a fertilized egg or zygote.
(a) Searching for a partner is no longer required thus a faster reproduction rate.
(b)
3. Explain why the duplication of genetic material is essential prior to division.

- it is essential because it allows the daughter cells to inherit the traits of its parent cell, ensuring survival and
continued evolution.
4. Table 1 shows the events in a typical cell cycle. Draw and label a circle graph to represent the data.
