DNA & RNA Structure
These five nitrogen bases are present in DNA.
What is adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine?
These are the two main purposes of the cell cycle in multicellular organisms.
What is growth and repair?
This form of programmed cell death can be protective by decreasing inflammation and can also be a normal part of development.
What is apoptosis?
This subphase of interphase is "when" DNA replication occurs.
What is S phase?
These macromolecules are responsible for over 90% of the biochemical processes in a cell.
What are proteins?
This is the monomer repeating unit of nucleic acids.
What is a nucleotide?
Not to be confused with sisters, this term refers to chromosomes that contain the same genes became from distinct origins - in human cells, one set is maternal while the other is paternal.
These are described as critical points where “stop” & “go” signals can regulate the cell cycle.
What are checkpoints?
This is "who" (i.e. what type of cells) complete DNA replication.
Who are actively dividing cells?
This macromolecule holds the instructions for making every protein in your body.
What is DNA/Nucleic Acids?
Since the two strands of DNA run side-by-side each other in opposite directions, its structure is referred to having this orientation.
What is antiparallel?
This is defined as a protein complex that links the two sister chromatids together after DNA replication.
What is the centromere?
This is defined as the process during which young, immature (unspecialized) cells take on individual characteristics and reach their mature (specialized) form and function.
What is cell differentiation?
This is the "what" of DNA replication (i.e. what does the process accomplish).
What is making an identical copy of DNA?
This organelle stores our genetic information and is also the site of DNA replication.
What is the nucleus?
These three structural differences exist between RNA and DNA.
What is the sugar (ribose in RNA, deoxyribose in DNA), nitrogen bases (ATGC in DNA and AUGC in RNA), and the over structure (double helix in DNA and single strand in RNA)?
It is at this stage in plant cells that the cell plate is formed, and in animals cells, this is where you begin to see the cleavage furrow.
What is cytokinesis?
If the cell somehow alludes signals of damage and to stop cell cycle progression, they can turn into these types of cells which divide uncontrollably.
What are cancer cells?
This is the "why" of DNA replication and why it is important.
What is because each new cell made by the cell cycle needs a complete copy of DNA in order to make all the proteins needed for cellular processes?
This variable is manipulated by the experimenter and is found on the x-axis when plotting data.
This is the full name of DNA.
What is deoxyribonucleic acid?
These are the four stages of mitosis in alphabetical order.
What is anaphase, metaphase, prophase, and telophase?
These two names are given tumors based on whether they are "good" or "bad".
What is benign and malignant?
DNA replication is not fully republican considering that it is said to be this type of process since it results in two new double stranded DNA molecules both of which contain one "new" and one "old" strand of DNA.
What is semi-conservative?
There is an urban legend that eating turkey makes people sleepy because it contains tryptophan. Along with playing a role in the production of serotonin and melatonin (hormones that regulate sleep and mood), tryptophan is one of twenty different monomer units that build proteins. Name this monomer unit of proteins.
What are amino acids?
