Vocabulary
100
The area of the cell that transcription occurs.
What is the nucleus?
100
The sequence of events performed during the mitotic phase.
What is prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase?
100
Meiosis deals only with these types of cells.
What are germ cells?
100
The area of the cell where translation occurs.
What is the cytoplasm?
100
The process by which the parent cell splits into two identical cells.
What is mitosis?
200
The converted nucleotide sequence based on one side of the DNA double helix.
What is mRNA?
200
This process occurs simultaneously with telophase.
What is cytokinesis?
200
The parent cell at the beginning of meiosis has this many pairs of chromosomes.
What is 23?
200
These subunits are activated when signaled by the start codon of an mRNA sequence.
What are ribosomes?
200
In eukaryotic organisms, the organelle where genetic information is stored and protected.
What is the nucleus?
300
The component found on the 3' end of a transcribed mRNA strain.
What is a poly-A tail?
300
These types of cells found in the human body perform mitosis.
What are somatic cells?
300
By the end of this phase, we'll have two separate cells.
What is telophase I?
300
The simplified three step process of translation.
What is initiation, elongation, and termination?
300
The process of combining a haploid sperm cell with a haploid egg cell.
What is fertilization?
400
The simplified three step process of finalizing the transcription process.
What is splicing, capping, and tailing?
400
This is the preferred phase for viewing mitosis under a light microscope.
What is metaphase?
400
During this phase, haploid chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.
What is metaphase II?
400
The anti-codon sequence is found on this amino acid carrier.
What is tRNA?
400
The phenotypic expression of both homozygotes.
What is codominance?
500
The enzyme responsible for initiating the transcription process.
What is RNA polymerase?
500
Asexual reproduction is essentially this process.
What is cloning?
500
During this phase there is one diploid cell.
What is prophase I?
500
The nucleotide base sequence that calls for specific amino acids.
What is a codon?
500
The process of initiation, elongation, and termination.
