Interphase
Mitosis
DNA Replication
Bonus Jonas
100
This amount of a cell's life is spent in interphase.
What is most/the majority of?
100
During this phase, the cell splits in half to form two daughter cells.
What is cytokinesis?
100
This is the builder enzyme.
What is polymerase?
100
A human cell has this many chromosomes.
What is 23 pairs or 46 total?
200
During this part of interphase, a cell copies its DNA and centrioles.
What is S/synthesis phase?
200
During this phase, the chromosomes move to the middle of the cell.
What is metaphase?
200
This enzyme 'unzips' DNA so it can be copied.
What is helicase?
200
During this phase of the cell life cycle, a cell stops growing and dividing; this may be permanent, for cells life nerve cells.
What is the G0 or quiescent phase?
300
During this part of interphase, a cell grows rapidly, does cell processes, and makes organelles and DNA
What is G1/Gap 1 phase?
300
In this stage of mitosis, the DNA is pulled apart to opposite ends of the cell by spindle fibers.
What is anaphase?
300
This enzyme glues together the DNA fragments on the lagging strand.
What is ligase?
300
This is the term for the 'belly button' of a chromosome.
What is a centromere?
400
During this part of interphase, a cell will organize its internal components before division.
What is G2/Gap 2 phase?
400
In this stage of mitosis, the DNA coils into chromosomes, the nucleus breaks down, and the spindle fibers form.
What is prophase?
400
This enzyme prepares the DNA strand to be copied by laying down pieces of complimentary RNA.
What is primase?
400
Duplicated halves of a chromosome are called this name.
What are sister chromatids?
500
After DNA replication, a human cell will have this number of chromosomes.
What is 46 pairs of or 92 individual chromosomes?
500
During this step of mitosis, two new nuclei begin to form around identical sets of DNA and the spindle fibers start to break down.
What is telophase?
500
DNA is always replicated in this direction.
What is 5' to 3'?
500
This term describes how DNA strands run in side-by-side, in opposite directions.
What is antiparallel?
