DNA Replication
This is where DNA replication begins.
What is an origin of replication?
This is the phase of mitosis where chromosomes line up at the metaphase plate.
What is (who could have guessed) metaphase?
These are the types of cells that result from meiosis.
What are germ cells?
In this pattern of inheritance, inheriting an allele that codes for a certain phenotype will cause the organism to ONLY display that trait, regardless of the other allele they have inherited.
What is dominant-recessive inheritance?
This organelle is responsible for the production of ATP using a hydrogen ion gradient.
What are mitochondria?
What is helicase?
In cytokinesis, this feature of a dividing animal cell begins to appear.
What is a cleavage furrow?
This process occurs in prophase I, and increases genetic variation.
What is 'crossing over'?
In this pattern of inheritance, both alleles do not fully express the phenotype they code for. For instance, a flower with a red allele and a white allele would produce pink petals.
What is incomplete dominance?
This organelle houses the DNA and allows for DNA transcription into mRNA.
These bits of DNA on the lagging strand are later connected together by DNA ligase.
What are Okazaki fragments?
Sister chromatids are split during this phase of mitosis.
What is anaphase?
This is the number and ploidy level of the daughter cells after cytokinesis II.
What is '4 haploid cells'?
In this pattern of inheritance, both alleles are expressed without one expression diminishing the other.
What is co-dominance?
This organelle allows for the translation of mRNA into proteins.
What are ribosomes?
These allow DNA polymerase to bind to the DNA and begin replication on the lagging strand.
What are RNA primers?
This phase comes after the M phase and cytokinesis.
What is G1 (or G0)?
During metaphase I, this is the ploidy level of the dividing cell.
What is '4n'?
This phenomenon describes how genes that are closer together on a chromosome are often inherited together.
What is genetic linkage?
This organelle is responsible for the transport of newly-synthesized proteins, lipids, and other cellular products.
What is the golgi body/apparatus?
This term refers to one strand of DNA being 'new' and the other 'old' when inherited by a daughter cell.
What is semi-conservative replication?
These are the names of the phases of mitosis in order, and does not include cytokinesis.
What are: pro-, prometa-, meta-, ana-, and telophase?
These are the names of the phases of meiosis in order, including cytokineses.
What is pro-, prometa-, meta-, ana-, and telophase I, cytokinesis I, pro-, pro-, prometa-, meta-, ana-, and telophase II, and cytokinesis II.
This phenomenon describes how a pre-determined inheritance pattern can be overridden by the expression of an unrelated allele.
What is epistasis?
This organelle is present only in plant cells, and is mostly full of salts and ions to facilitate osmosis of water into itself to maintain turgor pressure.
What are central vacuoles?
