DNA Structure
Molecules of DNA are composed of
What are nucleotides?
Before a cell divides it must go through
What is DNA replication or S phase?
The longest phase of the cell cycle is
What is Interphase?
In interphase cells are primarily doing what event
What is growing?
The name of the sugar found in DNA is known as
What is deoxyribose?
During DNA replication, the strands are know as
What is complimentary strands?
DNA is replicated in this phase of the cell cycle
What is S phase?
The 3 events that occur during interphase are
What is G1, S, and G2 phase?
The amount of guanine in an organism always equals the amount of
What is cytosine?
If the original strand of DNA is CCTAGCT, the new strand during DNA replication would be
What is GGATCGA?
Cancerous cell are caused by
What is uncontrolled cell growth?
The process that completes cell division is known as
What is cytokinesis?
Watson & Crick made a model of DNA that demonstrated
What is DNA is made of 2 strands that twist into a double helix?
If a DNA molecule is 16% Adenine, the other bases would have the percentages
What is 16% Thymine, 34% Cytosine, and 34% Guanine?
People who have leukemia, a cancer that affects white blood cells, are often given Cytarabine. This drug inhibits the synthesis of DNA. The phase of the cell cycle most affected by Cytarabine is
What is S phase?
A mass of cells that grows uncontrollable are referred to as a
What is a tumor?
DNA can best be described as (you must use the parts of DNA and the shape in your description)
What is composed of a nucleotide containing a phosphate group, a deoxyribose sugar, and nitrogen bases in the form of A,T,C or G. DNA is shaped as a double helix.
The enzymes responsible for unwinding DNA strands and adding DNA nucleotides in that order are
What is Helicase and DNA Polymerase?
The types of cells that produce 2 identical daughter cells are
What is somatic cells?
In a graph, the line for a cancerous cell would be
What is continuing in growth?
