Spontaneous generation is the hypothesis that nonliving material can spontaneously change into a living organism. Hundreds of years ago, many scientists accepted this hypothesis. The following is one experiment that was performed to test the hypothesis of spontaneous generation: Meat was placed in three identical glass jars. One jar was left open, one jar was tightly sealed, and one jar was covered with a fine mesh that allowed air into the jar but kept flies out. Maggots (fly larvae) only appeared in the open jar. Was the control used in this experiment adequate?  A.  No, this experiment included two variables instead of one.  B.  Yes, the open jar acted as a control.  C.  No, this experiment did not include a control group.  D.  Yes, both the sealed jar and the jar with mesh were controls for the open jar

the elements of art are the visual tools that the artist uses to create a composition. these are line, shape, color, value, form, texture, and space.

the principles of art and design are balance, contrast, emphasis, movement, pattern, rhythm, and unity/variety.

interphase

the period of cell growth when the cell synthesizes new molecules and organelles. the cell is not dividing and it constitutes the majority of the time spent in the cell cycle

prophase

changes occur in the nucleus and cytoplasm. the chromatin condenses to form structures (sister chromatids) visible with a light microscope and the mitotic spindle begins to form, but the nucleus is still in tact

prometaphase

the nuclear envelope fragments and the spindle microtubules attach to the kinetochores of the sister chromatids

metaphase

all the cell's duplicated chromosomes are lined up at an imaginary plane equidistant between the poles of the mitotic spindle

anaphase

begins when sister chromatids separate from each other and ending when a complete set of daughter chromosomes arrives at each of the two poles of the cell

telophase

the daughter nuclei form at the two poles of a cell

cytokinesis

the division of a cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells. usually occurs during telophase during mitosis. this and mitosis make up to mitotic (m) phase of the cell cycle
