Study Notes
Cytoplasm Division
- Cytoplasm division during cell division occurs in cytokinesis.
Analogous Structures
- Body organs with similar functions but different structures are analogous structures.
B-Lymphocytes and Antibodies
- Plasma cells, differentiated from B-lymphocytes, produce and secrete antibodies.
- Plasma cells have more ribosomes, RER, Golgi bodies, and mitochondria compared to B-lymphocytes.
- Ribosomes and RER are essential for antibody synthesis.
- Mitochondria and Golgi bodies provide the energy necessary for the cell to function.
Body Temperature Variation
- The pigeon and the cat maintain a relatively constant body temperature.
- The lizard and alligator's body temperature changes with the environmental temperature.
Enzyme Activity
- The greatest enzymatic activity occurs at the optimum pH.
- Enzyme X has a maximum activity at pH 2 based on the bar graph.
- Enzyme X is found in the stomach.
Directional Selection
- Directional selection occurs when one extreme phenotype is favored over other phenotypes, causing the allele frequency to shift over time toward that phenotype.
- Long necks in giraffes becoming more common over short necks is an example of directional selection.
Inheritance of Skin Color
- A white calf with black spots from a black ox and white cow indicates incomplete dominance.
Population
- A population comprises individuals of the same species living together in the same area.
Fatty Acids
- Fatty acids without double bonds in their hydrocarbon chain are called saturated fatty acids.

- The relationship between ladybirds and aphids is a predator-prey relationship.
Mitosis Phase
- The figure represents Metaphase.
Chromosome Number Before Mitosis
- The initial cell had 6 chromosomes before starting division.
Habituation
- The squirrel's response represents habituation.
Albumen Digestion
- The digestion of albumen requires 24 hours.
- It is fastest between the 12th and 16th hour.
Directional Selection
- Environmental conditions leading to the replacement of one phenotype by another is called directional selection.
