THESIS STATEMENT

- The central idea of the text

- Summarizes the topic and the arguments of the writer about the topic
- A claim that could be argued
- Describes the precise questions or issue that will be discussed in the
paper
- Can be “Explicit” or “Implicit”
- Usually consists of one to two sentences
EXPLICIT THESIS STATEMENT
- straightforward and in details
- provides a clear direction
IMPLICIT THESIS STATEMENT
- the primary point of the reading is conveyed indirectly
- not written in the text
PARTS OF A THESIS STATEMENT
1. Topic- subject of the text
2. Position- your stand on the topic
3. Reason/s- explanation and justification of your position

Now, if you will try to locate the thesis statement in a text, you should know that the thesis
statement can be explicit or implicit. What does it mean? Explicit means straightforward. It
means the thesis statement is obviously written in the text. In academic text, since the
language is explicit or straight to the point, our thesis statement is usually explicit too. It is
usually located at the end of the introduction. Another thing about explicit is that the readers
do not have to infer because the information being delivered is stated using the exact words.
Example:
The little girl is very happy with her gift.
What’s the meaning of this statement here?
As you can see it’s directly state that the little girl is very happy so the exact word which is
happy is used in the statement and since we don’t have to infer to understand the statement,
we shall say that this is the example of an explicit statement.
Cell division function is:

Reproduction, growth, repair

Chromosomes are duplicated during what stage of the cell cycle?

S phase (DNA Synthesis) - Each of the 46 chromosomes are duplicated by the cell.

Which of the following events does not occur during some stages of interphase?

Separation of sister chromatids

How many chromosomes does a human body cells or somatic cells have?

46

Which of the following does not occur during mitosis?

During mitosis we do not see separation of the homologous chromosomes

Replication of the DNA

How many chromosomes does a human sex cells have?

23

It is critical control point in the cell cycle where stop and go-ahead signals can regulate the cell cycle.

Checkpoints

If mammalians cell receive a go-ahead signal at g, checkpoint, they will

Complete the next stage/phase

What is the main prerequisite for clearance at g2 check point?

Accurate and complete DNA replication

The decline of MPF activity at the end of mitosis is due to

The degradation of the cycle

It the M checkpoint is not cleared, what stage of mitosis will be blocked?

Anaphase

A protein synthesized at specific times during the cell cycle that associates with a kinase to form a catalytically active complex

Cyclins

Cells that are in a nondividing state are in which phase

G0

Mitosis is the process by which the

Nucleus divides to produce, results in two daughter cells, occurs in somatic/ body cell

Division of the cytoplasm

Cytokinesis

Chromosome first become visible during

Prophase

Centrosome uncouple, sister chromatids are separated, and the two new chromosomes move to opposite poles of the cell

Anaphase

Correct sequence of the steps in the M phase of the cell cycle

Prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase

In animals, somatic cells are produced by mitosis and

Gametes

Which of the following statements about crossing over is not correct

Crossing over plays a role in both sexual and asexual reproduction

You can see a cell plate beginning to develop across the middle of a cell and nuclei forming on either side of cell plate
