DNA stands for ___________________ .
What is deoxyribonucleic acid?
100
This is the first step in DNA replication. (not the name of the enzyme)
What is DNA unzips and unwinds?
100
The phase the cell spends most of it's time in.
What is interphase?
100
This is the correct order of the four steps in mitosis.
What is prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase?
100
These speed up cell division. They are like the “accelerator” in a car
What are oncogenes?
200
The backbone of a DNA molecule consist of these two components; one of which has a slight negative charge, one of which has 5 carbon atoms. (list in that order)
What is phosphate and sugar (deoxyribose)?
200
The name of the enzyme that unzips and unwinds the DNA molecule
What is helicase?
200
The two steps to binary fission are? What undergoes binary fission?
What is DNA Replication, cell split prokaryotes
200
This is the phase of mitosis where chromatin gets "converted" to supercoiled chromosomes and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.
What is prophase?
200
Anything that has the potential to cause cancer can be referred to by either of these two terms.
What are carcinogens or mutagens?
300
The 4 nitrogenous bases in DNA are:
What is adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine
300
The enzyme that adds new nucleotides to the DNA template strand.
What is DNA polymerase?
300
Instead of creating a cleavage furrow to separate, a plant cell creates this.
What is a cell plate?
300
1/2 half of a double stranded chromosome.
What is a chromatid?
300
These are 3 common causes of cancer discussed in class.
What are viruses, UV radiation, and harmful chemicals?
400
The type of organic molecule found in DNA.
What is nucleic acid?
400
If a gene's bases are 22% adenine, what percentage of the bases would be cytosine?
What is 28%?
400
This is the phase of the cell cycle where organelles copy themselves in order to prepare for division.
What is G2?
400
This is the phase where the centrioles and spindle fibers break the connection at the centromere and pull apart the double stranded chromosome.
What is anaphase?
400
This is the term for the "brakes" for cell division.
What are tumor suppressor genes?
500
Nitrogenous bases with a 2-ring structure.
What are purines?
500
If a gene's bases are 14% thymine, what percentage of the bases would be guanine?
What is 36%?
500
These are the shorthand terms (letter symbols) for ALL the phases of the cell reproduction cycle that are not included in mitosis.
What are G1, S, G2, AND C?
500
What is the definition of mitosis?
What is the active splitting of the nucleus?
500
Choose the order that represents the correct sequence of phases of the cell cycle.
A) A-J-G-K-M C) F-L-B-M-K
B) A-B-C-E-G D) E-B-C-M-K 
Also, what type of cells are these?
C!
