DNA
The base pairs, coupled please
What is A-T and G-C?
The bases, paired.
What is A-U and G-C?
Protein building blocks (aka smallest units).
What are amino acids?
The first step, describe please.
What is Prophase...? chromosomes condense; spindles develop towards the poles.
The 'home' of these molecules.
What is the nucleus?
The types of RNA and where they 'live'.
What are...
mRNA (commutes from nucleus to cytosol)
tRNA (cytosol)
rRNA (aka ribosome RNA)?
To name just a few!
What are the jobs of proteins?
And the second...
What is Metaphase...? chromosomal alignment at the equator of the spindles.
The amount of total chromosomes in a gamete cell after meiosis is complete.
What is 23 chromosomes, unpaired?
Its shape.
What is a double stranded helix?
Its shape.
What is a single strand nucleic acid?
Levels of protein shapes.
What are primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary folds?
The third AND fourth...
What are...?
Anaphase- chromosomes are pulled apart.
Telophase- nuclear envelope begins to reform around newly separated chromosomes.
Cross-over event.
What is swapping of genetic material?
...paired chromosomes from each parent align so that similar DNA sequences from the paired chromosomes cross over one another.
Its role.
What is the control center of the cell?
Its role.
What is translate "directions" from the DNA to proteins?
Result of mutations and/ or changes in protein shapes.
What are protein mis-foldings?
Number of total chromosomes in a somatic cell after mitosis.
What is 46 chromosomes (or 23 pairs)?
Aneuploidy, defined.
What is the presence of an abnormal number of chromosomes in a cell?
Term for when DNA changes... normal or abnormal.
What is a mutation?
Appearance related to purpose.
What is form vs. function?
The most detrimental single point error during DNA replication; all subsequent codons will be changed.
The primary purpose of meiosis.
What is genetic variation?
