6. During transportation of microscope from one place to another, one hand must be placed on the base and the
other on its arm.

7. Peroxisomes are larger in plants compared to animals because they serve as a store of water.

TEST II: IDENTIFICATION

11. He is the father of Microbiology. He made great discovery about microorganisms by observing the
movements of protists and sperm cells.

12. A condition where there is an abnormal number of chromosomes in a cell, which can cause developmental
abnormalities and make cells tumorigenic.

13. What forms between homologous chromosomes during prophase I - zygotene?

14. What kind of disaccharide can we produce when we combine 2 molecules of glucose?

15. What do you call the process of breaking down a disaccharide?

16. This refers to a process of disorganizing or breaking of bonds in proteins causing it to become biologically
inactive.

17. During metaphase, the chromosomes align in the middle, what do you call that area?

18. This process refers to the division of the cytoplasm of parent cell into two daughter cells which also form
cleavage furrow.

19. This phase is also known as the resting phase, wherein the cell is neither preparing to divide nor diving.
