Trust the Process
This results in two identical cells
What is Mitosis?
(dna sequence) ATG CAT
TAC GTA
Cells spend most of their time in this stage
What is Interphase
What is the nucleus?
This proteins allows milk sugars to be digested
What is lactase?
This results in complementary strands of DNA
What is replication?
(dna sequence) GGG CGA
CCC GCT
This phase is when chromosomes "meet in the middle"
What is metaphase?
This is where DNA replication happens
What is in the nucleus?
This enzyme copies DNA
What is DNA polymerase?
This process results in mRNA
What is transcription?
(dna to rna) AAA TTT ATA
UUU AAA UAU
This phase is when DNA coils into chromosomes to prepare for cell division
What is Prophase?
This is where mRNA is created
What is in the nucleus?
This enzyme transcribes mRNA
What is RNA polymerase?
This process results in proteins.
What is translation?
(dna to rna) TTG AAT CGG
AAC UUA GCC
This phase ends with two new cells?
What is cytokinesis?
This is where translation happens?
What is in the cytoplasm?
This is the 3 letter ending that enzymes always have
What is "a-s-e"?
This results in a DNA strand that is missing a nucleotide.
What is a deletion mutation?
(rna to dna) AAA UUU AUA
TTT AAA TAT
In this phase two separate nuclei form and the cells begin to split as they move "far" apart
What is telophase?
This is how I remember the letter combinations for DNA and RNA pairing
What is AT Gettysburg College and Gettysburg College and American University
This enzyme causes fireflies to glow
What is luciferase?
