Cell Cycle
A cell will be at one of these phases at any particular time of its life.
What is Interphase, mitosis, or cytokinesis?
This is the purpose of mitosis.
What is produce two genetically identical cells?
This is the shape that the DNA molecule forms.
What is a double helix?
DNA is replicated during this phase.
What is the S phase?
If a sequence of DNA is ATGC, its compliment is this.
What is TACG?
This is the phase, in interphase, where the cell is actively and continuously growing.
What is G1?
This is the 1st phase where the DNA begins to condense by wrapping around proteins and becomes visible as chromosomes (consists of 2 sister chromatids).
What is Prophase?
The backbone of DNA is made up of these two things.
What is phosphate and deoxyribose sugar.
The purpose of this process is to create 2 identical copies of DNA.
What is DNA replication?
If a lizard has 60 chrromosomes, this is the number of chromosomes each new daughter cell contains after it undergoes mitosis for an injured tail?
What is 60?
This is the phase after G1.
What is S (Synthesize)?
After completing the cell cycle, this is the number chromosomes that daughter cell would have if a parent cell has 48 chromosomes.
What is 48?
This is the nitrogenous base that pairs with Cytosine.
What is Guanine?
This is composed of an original DNA strand and a newly sythesized strand.
What is semiconservative replication?
Once this phase is complete, the cell is ready for mitosis.
What is G2?
This is the phase where the pair of chromosomes separates into two identical, independent chromosomes.
What is Anaphase?
If a sequence has 50 Cytosine, the sequence will also have _______.
What is 50 Guanine?
Parent strands are unwound by this.
What is a DNA Helicase?
The double stranded DNA molecules (sister chromatids) are seen in this phase,
What is the S phase?
This is the fourth and final phase of mitosis where the sister chromatids have been separated and pulled to opposite sides of the cell.
What is Telophase?
This provides instructions for the cell, contains the genetic blueprint for life, and code for traits.
What is the function of DNA?
DNA Replication occurs during this stage of interphase.
What is the S phase.
