DNA
Is DNA double stranded or single stranded
Doubled-stranded
What does RNA stand for?
Ribonucleic Acid
What is the purpose of DNA replication
What is the longest phase in the cell cycle?
Interphase
Does adenine pair with thymine or uracil in RNA
uracil
What is DNA made up?
Amino Acids
What is the main difference between DNA and RNA?
DNA has the Thymine base and RNA has Uracil instead of Thymine
What is the purpose of ligase?
To glue together a new strand to a strand of the old DNA
What happens in S phase during interphase?
DNA replicates itself
Does Guanine pair with Cytosine or Thymine
Cytosine
Strands of DNA make up what?
Genes
RNA makes a complementary strand based off the coding or non-coding strand of DNA?
Coding strand
What enzyme goes in and splits apart the DNA?
DNA helicase
What element is in a nucleotide base
Nitrogen
What shape does a DNA strand resemble
A double helix
RNA helps make what molecule?
When a DNA strand is replicated, what 2 strands is it made up of?
One strand of the old DNA and one strand of the new DNA
A process of programmed cell death, used to kill off dead cells after an injury for example
TGCATTCGG
If a DNA strand has 34.5% Adenine, what percentage of Cytosine will there be
15.5%
What is the RNA molecule used to carry genetic information copied from DNA?
mRNA
Where does DNA replication take place?
The nucleus
When does the nuclear membrane start to reform
Telophase
If there's 35% Thymine, what percentage of Guanine will there be
