Answer 1

Here are the vocabulary words matched to their corresponding definitions/descriptions:

1. chromosome - a structure within a cell that carries DNA.

2. homologous chromosomes - chromosome pairs that are similar in length, centromere location, and gene position. Homologous chromosomes may contain different alleles.

3. mitosis - a type of cell division in which a parent cell copies itself, resulting in two identical daughter cells. Mitosis is the form of cell division used in all cell growth except sexual reproduction.

4. gene expression - the process in which instructions in DNA are used to produce a protein or other functional product.

5. parent cell - the cell that divides to produce two daughter cells.

6. daughter cell - the two cells produced by cell division.

7. differentiation - an increase in the specialization of a cell.
