Protein Synthesis
DNA ---> RNA
What is transcription?
This type of mutation does NOT change the protein that is created
What is a silent mutation?
The cell spends most of its time in this phase of the cell cycle
What is interphase?
This body system works with the respiratory system to deliver oxygen to all of the cells in the body and pick up carbon dioxide waste
What is the circulatory system?
The type of cell division that makes gametes
Transcribe this sequence of DNA to mRNA: TAC GGA
What is AUG CCU?
This type of mutation has occurred if the length of the DNA sequence has gotten longer.
What is an insertion?
The part of the cell cycle where the cell replicates its DNA
What is S phase? (Synthesis)
This body system uses the 5 senses to detect and process stimuli
What is the nervous system?
Sperm and egg cells
What are gametes?
Which molecule is created during transcription?
What is messenger RNA?
This mutation has occurred when a single nucleotide has been replaced by a different one
What is a substitution?
The number of cells produced by mitosis
What is two?
This body system is responsible for absorbing nutrients for the body
What is the digestive system?
Name for human body cells that have 46 chromosomes
What are somatic cells?
Codons are translated to the building blocks of proteins which are called this
What are amino acids?
Insertion and deletion mutations are both considered to be this kind, which shifts the codons
What is a frameshift mutation
If the cell cycle is uncontrolled, it can cause this
What is cancer? or What are tumors?
The circulatory system interacts with the skeletal system when blood cells are created here
What is bone marrow?
The number of cells produced at the end of meiosis
What is 4?
The end product of translation
What is a protein?
A mutation must occur in THIS type of cell in order to be passed on to offspring
What is a gamete?
The phases of mitosis are in this order
What is PMAT?
What is Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase?
This system is responsible for secreting hormones to maintain homeostasis
What is the endocrine system
Chromosomes do this during meiosis. It creates genetic variation to ensure that each gamete created is different.
What is crossing over?
