DNA and Genes
This structure gives information to the cell and is a kind of nucleic acid.
What is DNA?
This is a process that takes place in the nucleus during which the DNA is copied.
What is transcription?
These are the three stages of the cell cycle.
What are interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis?
These are tightly bundled (condensed) DNA strands.
What are chromosomes?
This is what you call a baby deer.
What is a fawn?
This is a description of the structure of DNA, also called a twisted ladder.
What is double helix?
This process involves converting DNA code to protein and takes place in the ribosomes.
What is translation?
This phase is when the cell becomes fully split into two daughter cells.
What is cytokinesis?
These create spindle fibers that attach to the DNA and bring the strands to opposite ends of the cell.
What are centrioles?
This is what you call a baby donkey.
What is a colt or foal?
What are the base pairs of DNA? (and which go with which)
Adenine-Thymine
Guanine-Cytosine
This reads the DNA during the process of transcription.
This stage of the cell cycle is where the most time is spent.
These are the four stages of mitosis.
What are prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase?
This is what you call a baby crow.
What is a chick?
These substances are what DNA is made of.
What are phosphate and sugar?
This nucleotide base is used in transcription in the place of thymine.
What is uracil?
This is completed during the S stage of interphase.
What is DNA replication?
This is a type of cell with one set of DNA.
What is an haploid cell?
This is what you call a baby porcupine.
What is a porcupette?
This is a substance that codes for a protein - its information depends on the way the nucleotides are arranged.
What is a gene?
This is a set of three nucleotides.
What is a codon?
This stage of interphase is the last, and it is during this stage that the organelles are duplicated.
What is G2?
This is formed when two haploid cells come together (and form a diploid cell).
What is a zygote?
This is what you call a baby platypus.
What is a puggle?
