Cell Mates
This holds the information needed to build a cell and a cell's products.
What is a Gene?
Half the DNA chain used to make a protein?
Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, Guanine.
The equal sharing of genes between two new cells.
What is Mitosis?
Genes are copied to form two sister chromatids.
Interphase
This is DNA tightly packed, and coiled. X-shaped during prophase.
What is a chromosome?
This is what thymine is replaced by as a base in RNA.
DNA is the acronym for this.
What is Deoxyribonucleic Acid?
X-shaped chromosomes split into L-shapes and move across spindles to opposite sides.
What is anaphase?
Cytoplasm reforms between the nuclei to punch and separate the two cells.
Cytokinesis
This holds all the cell info in chromosomes. Like the file room of the factory.
A molecule with a coded DNA message that leaves the nucleus.
A unit made of sugar, phosphate, and a base.
Nucleotide
Chromatids coil into X-shape and spindle fibers form.
What is Prophase.
Parent cell divides into 2 daughter cells, then again to split into 4 cells.
What is Meiosis?
Protein Synthesis occurs inside of this organelle.
What is a ribosome?
RNA is the acronym for this.
What is Ribonucleic Acid?
When one DNA molecule becomes two DNA molecules.
What is Replication?
Chromosomes uncoil and spindle disappears.
What is Telophase?
Offspring grows off the side of the parent before breaking off.
What is budding?
A diploid cell that occurs when an egg is fertilized by a sperm.
What is a Zygote?
A group of 3 bases that code for a specific amino acid during protein synthesis.
What is a Codon?
The shape DNA looks like.
What is a double helix?
Chromatids line up in the middle of spindles.
What is Metaphase.
Planarians use this to regrow their heads and tails.
What is Regeneration.
